a truth about humans is that they can be coerced to run in smaller circuits, smaller and smaller, until all their travels are confined to a circle a hand's breadth across and they believe they have no choices at all.

working on new sprites for undead characters. left is a sepulchral crawler, which is a (mostly) noncombat unit. right are three designs for the sepulchral "spider", a sort of arthropoid unit well-suited for clambering quickly through tunnels.

some more work on sepulchral crawlers and "spiders", which i might call "striders" also a [turret / assembler], (top), which is a stationary unit often serving as a turret, but which you can socket other spells into: it can deploy a bridge, light a room, buff you, plant flowers.

the sea lanes and road travel are working together in the world sim! this is about 8800 agents in a quarter size world. the dots on the roads each represent a caravan (so multiple wagons or carts, etc.). in the sea, every ship is individually simulated. 1 frame is ~ a minute

i've been writing an article on the [not-lizard people] in my game and will post it soon! if you're the sort of person who wants to read about third eyes, communal crèches, and a conjectural gender politics of a species of protogynous hermaphrodites, have i got you covered.

ok they're not archosaurs, but what if the "not lizard people", who are language using synapsids, could acquire some language + socialization before hatching? nsf.gov/news/baby-bird…

now that i've released the raycaster prototype, i'm back on the roguelike. i'm doing some player scale things right now. horses, fashion and object aesthetics, marketplaces, combat skills (beginning with necromancy + spellsword skills i think), and early nonhuman languages.
