    @john_brindle right! But all of these have some push-and-pull (to a greater or lesser extent). Thinking of Caesar 3 (cuz I luv it)...

  13. thanks @patrickashe for letting me know about @GamesPlayLib - it's a travelling library of games zines. yes yes yes.
  14. …in reply to @philippawarr
    @philippawarr i want to say "gamut", but i don't think that's right either (the range represented, not the representation)
  15. @GamesPlayLib you should look at Jane Mai's Pond Smelt and Allison Parrish's procedurally generated chapbooks.
  16. @GamesPlayLib oh! And Katie Rose Pipkin's picking figs... - these might be not quite games enough, but they're all great.
  17. Nice scale reconstruction of London just prior to the Great Fire of 1666... be a shame if anything happened to it.

    @renaudbedard not that i know of... but Unity coroutines are less magical than they see - you could write yr own coroutine runner ...
  46. …in reply to @v21
    @renaudbedard ... that manually calls the MoveNext etc, and is itself driven by the Unity coroutine system.

  57. we are at a tiring place with Beasts of Balance and I was just asked some "how does this work?" questions about Mutazione's code.
  58. …in reply to @v21
    i don't know if i want to program a moderately sized game by myself again. i'll probably feel differently later.
  59. …in reply to @v21
    this feeling is somewhat compounded by them having surprisingly similar code bases? we've actually cracked animating SVGs this time, tho.
  60. …in reply to @chrisoshea
    @chrisoshea yep! also using SVG Importer. Process is a little convoluted, but - @spacetreasured works in Spine (with pngs), exports
  61. …in reply to @v21
    @chrisoshea we put those into Unity (using a random old Spine importer that creates Unity anims on GOs) - now have animated sprites
  62. …in reply to @v21
    @chrisoshea then we run a custom script to swap out the pngs for identically-named svgs. bit janky, but it works!
  63. …in reply to @v21
    @chrisoshea i know SVG Importer has it's own frame-by-frame animator (were trying a similar approach with Mutazione). stuff gets big fast...

    @kierongillen thanks for this: been a lot of talk about the ethical responsibilities of botmakers, and this is basically where i've ended up
  129. …in reply to @v21
    @kierongillen i phrase it differently, though (partly to reinforce the idea that botmakers are authors of their bot's contents) ...
  130. …in reply to @v21
    @kierongillen (which is a point you need to make) -- i say : "you can make a bot that does anything, but you have to take responsibility"
  131. …in reply to @v21
    @kierongillen i guess the difference is : you say artists don't have a responsibility to do particular things.
  132. …in reply to @v21
    @kierongillen vs: artists can't avoid responsibility for the impact their works have on the world. even if they didn't think about it.
