Ta Som is a small island temple that has, like Ta Prohm, been overrun by nature. It’s one of the smaller temples I visited on my second day of exploring. As such, it was also one of the quietest temples in the area.
I Need to Buy Me a Gamepad
When you start playing Crumble, one of the first things the game does is to recommend that you use a gamepad. Despite this, I played through the whole game using keyboard and mouse. After achieving this amazing feat, I’m beginning to regret this decision.
Refactoring Butterfly Behaviour
I’ve spent much of this week refactoring butterfly behaviour, improving their AI and optimising the Butterfly Data. I’m aiming to have a better foundation before adding new features, and to solve a few of the issues I’ve had when adding new butterflies in the past.
The World is Burning and it’s Our Fault
Yesterday I saw three photos that absolutely shocked me. If anyone can look at these pictures and still say that climate change isn’t real they are on the wrong side of history. And if things keep going the way they are, there won’t be much history left to experience.
The Screams of the Banshee
Aegon and the Troupe joined Jet’Laya in the search for her lost sister. After travelling through orc-infested woods and hordes of the undead they have finally found her. Unfortunately Jet’Laya’s sister is no longer in the realm of the living, and now the Troupe must face her wrath.
East Mebon: An Island No More
The second temple of the second day exploring temples, East Mebon is a smaller island temple north east of Angkor Thom. Though it is an island temple, the moat has since been filled, giving it a mildly different history to other island temples.
I Finished Overload’s Campaign
After some effort, and lowering of the difficulty, I’ve finally finished Overload’s main campaign. Here are my final thoughts on the overall experience, and musings on whether I’ll continue to play this game in the future.
Feeding Orizaba Silkmoths
This week I’ve added the Orizoba Silkmoth, followers of the End’s Ītzpāpālōtl. These moths like cocoa beans and can be used to create silk. In order to get the feeding mechanic to work, I’ve had to refactor some of the Goals I wrote a long time ago.
The Odyssey: Accuracy Don’t Matter
I recently watched Christopher Nolan’s take on The Odyssey, and I was not disappointed. While I don’t think it’s the best adaptation of Homer’s epic, it was still a thoroughly entertaining movie. It isn’t historically accurate, but I don’t think that’s a fair criticism to make of a fantasy movie.
Forest of Forgotten Souls
The Troupe makes their way into another forest far to the east of the Sword Coast. Jet’Laya senses that she is close to her sister, but the trees hide many ghasts and ghouls, and wyverns roam the surrounding plains.
