Hey man, some lit stuff here: voyager3.tumblr.com/archive
Surprised and glad to find someone into game dev jamming on type theory and PLT!

was just looking at that myself... travelogue to an imaginary world the author is currently in the course of creating is basically my favorite genre

I wanted to catalogue people who do that with computers like , and .

Yeah I would really like to get back to it - I got into PL thanks to shape grammars and architecture! I have ideas about applying it back, but it's been taking a while! Me and @_photex_ have been playing around with some stuff, but it's hard to get the ball rolling again!

Yeah, I saw that a while back! Seems to have progressed quite far since I last looked though!
Tbh I'm a little more interested vernacular architecture. Kind of houses built on houses, over the top of each other, with foliage snaking around and over the top.

Maybe some similar ideas could be used though - eg. household and economic simulation etc.

In general, just very inspired by the sublime, Ghibli, and M.C. Escher's (less well-known) village prints of the Italian countryside, and the world building of Tolkien.

The best stuff.

I found an Escher with a macabre / Blade Runner twist in the artworks of mathematician Fomenko the other day: imgur.com/r/math/vJX89
Hoping this is not what learning topology will do to me 🥴

Oh btw, this is my instagram: instagram.com/brendanzab/ - for the game world I really want to go with a more low-fi, low poly aesthetic, rather than a sketchy style like in these pictures. But might be interesting to you.
This is ace! I think you should publish them here too now and then. Pretty sweet aesthetics!

Will do! The main thing I try to do is craft atmosphere through very simple forms, and let the mind fill the rest in. I think that could be nice on computers - ie. leverage most of your power instead for world generation instead of trying to create hyper-realistic visuals.
