The changes are major, but not game-changing moving away from the original design intent for the game.

We have a few VR games now inspired by Japanese anime styles, including an MMORPG. Role-playing games in VR are unfortunately less common than I would have expected, but not rare. We have choices. Many of them suck, but we have choices. Several weeks ago, Virtual Dreamers has some discussion on the relative absence of JRPG-style games. His video poses more questions than answers, but it sparked some questions in my own mind.

Good progress on the tileset. I made basic outlines and shapes in Blender, then exported into Pixelmator for touchups and additional dirt layers. First time I used Geometry Nodes in Blender. Fun! The rest though, not so much… it’s a lot of work to make everything seamless, color matched and correctly exported. Listening to podcasts & GDC talks while working on the tileset helps a lot because it stops me from overthinking it.

With Twine 2.4 now out and my own Snowman story format coming up on a major version release, I’ve been thinking back on projects I still want to complete as part of my time with the Twine Committee. While many are permanently off the table due to a number of factors, one, I realized, was still possible: an archive of past story format versions.
