It's my game! And work account for more work talk and less shitposting.
#PitchYaGame
Weather Drop is set in a world where weather is a public service and you're an intern
🌧️Fit pieces together to give each region the weather it needs
💨Be careful not to put weather where it's not needed
☀️Don't leave tiles without weather for too long

I caught the oil in a wok on fire. The teacher put it out and wanted to continue the class. Until everybody started coughing from the smoke and we had to go outside 🙈
Flex your lowest academic low score.
To remind us that almost everyone fails at some point in life but it isn't the end of the road. Just a memory in the end.
Mine was 27/100 in Engineering Math 2, just a year after I'd scored 99 in 12th boards. Much needed kick in my butt.

Tidying up and came across this which actually I don't think I'd read. Kid me didn't rtfm either 🤷♀️

Booked a 10 hour layover between my local and international flight like potentially this is excessive?? Step into the first airport and already delayed by an hour. Nope this is fine and good

I've (accidentally) hit that gym break length sweet spot where I have peak rested stronk without losing any stronk

We had one of those introduce and tell us an interesting fact about yourself meetings except it was what's something you haven't done before that you want to.
I said finish a crafts project 😭 ONE DAY

Gained a new fav saying today - "like building a sandcastle below the tide line" - and I've already had the chance to use it.

Translating and rotating hex coords hurts my brain no end and I did consider cutting that and hand picking pieces for each level. But the level being slightly different each time adds a lot to the replayability.

Like the bit in the middle of the video, it does mean that everytime I can't see where a piece fits, I wonder if it's me or the algorithm has messed up which pieces will fit

It's been a looong time since I wrote the code to generate the pieces to fill each region. With the addition of more pieces and larger maps I had to go back and refactor it to not chug so much.

Been working on adding larger pieces to Weather Drop to make the larger maps fun and I'm biased but I think it worked!
Finally got around to watching season 3 and thinking about this game again
Started watching Snowpiercer (tv series) and got excited about the thought of a city builder constrained to a train/s in an apocalpyse. Trade to be able to afford new cars to expand.
Armor up a train so you can make it to new stations for new resources to trade 🚆
