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.

The amazing work of mathematician/artist Anatolii Fomenko

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!

World building miscellany

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.

That’s an awesome catalog! I was hoping to drop in the work of Karl Simmers and Codex Seraphinianus with the work of Moka as I thought it had resonance with your Insta style.
