Man, I need to find the people making adventure games that didn’t grow up playing them in the 80s/90s. I need to see what new ideas people are bringing to the genre

Been getting several DMs about the #GenerativeArt banner image in my profile. It's an old render (from 2010) of a recursive #Voronoi projected into a #Quadtree. This video shows the interplay of 2 conceptual hierarchies:

1. Verlet particles with attractive/repulsive force fields are spawned in a squared 2d space and negotiate their positions over time. These positions are also used as sites for creating a dynamic Voronoi diagram to define cell structures around each particle. Each resulting Voronoi region can then become the physical (and constantly changing) bounds for the next level of recursion, spawning more particles to subdivide it into smaller regions. Each cell at each level is using its own Voronoi instance with sub-regions clipped to their respective parent region. The process becomes more and more local... The setup in the video has a maximum tree depth of 3.

2. A quadtree is used to visualize the hierarchy of cells from phase 1 and its depth structure represented as extruded 3D model (in isometric perspective). For this video the quadtree has a depth of 10 levels with the maximum level of recursion tracing/coinciding with the Voronoi cell edges. The elevation of cell walls depends on the depth of the cell in the original tree, with the cells at deepest level resulting in the tallest structures. Furthermore, the elevation is modulated by the distance of each point to the nearest vertex of its parent cell polygon/region...

This is very WIP but I have flight to catch and I wanted to post something. Infiltrator Burst emitter, finished version during next week.

So it turns out if you order something from ebay, the seller uses the worst courier ever (evri aka hermes) who deliver the parcel into your recycle bin without leaving a note, which then gets collected.. That's your fault and you don't get a refund?

relistening to this one - we're surrounded by so much functional sound design it's relaxing to get into something using the same techniques impressionistically

I recently saw an open call for a residency of up to four weeks in the US where up to 10 participants were offered $500 each. This doesn't include accommodation (no mention of travel either).

Is this serious?!

Even if it was for locals only this would be a bit of a bad thing.
