Boy walking along a narrow tunnel, hand leaning on the wall. Very dark blue and purple. Trickle of water leading towards more light ahead.
Trico looking around a corner in a meme-worthy fashion, with a mischievous/mirthy/unsure expression
Boy standing in front of sunset disappearing behind a very tall cliff face. His head is full on black, but the black fades downwards, so the bottom of his tunic is just rather a warm and dim shadow with a thin but strong rim light.
Looking down between megastructure-like ruins of massive buildings, bottoms fading into fog
Boy carrying food barrel while the large animal friend stares hungrily from the dark, with flashlight eyes
Scene from The Last Guardian: boy standing on railing, aesthetically overlooking enormous ruins fading into fog. He is looking towards the right, and the camera suddenly follows his gaze to reveal Trico, the massive cat-bird-goat animal companion of the game, with its enormous head poking out of a much too small a doorway, screaming in complaint.

The letter “n” quadrupling in weight. Any more and its right side would collapse into a point.
The letter “n” interpolating in weight as described. Looks kind of like a low-poly fraktur script.
Some kind of wonky runic “n”, with a hex grid overlay: it follows the grid, sharp corners and all
Adding control points to a pixel-art looking shape, trying to create a lowercase “n”. First by adding vertices and then by adding spline control points.
Dual grid on square and hex grids. Shows you need very few tile variants to account for every possible combination of adjacent tiles.

Artwork by I think Moebius? Tan-clad man with funny hat and a staff with a gleaming tip looking towards a crystal mountain. Armed people walking up to him from a camp under the mountain.
The icon made out of 6x radially repeating number 7 glyphs, which looks like a wheel made out of legs. Animated to be a spinner that kinda sorta looks like its walking.
Hexagonal icons made by radially repeating glyphs from Avona 6 times. W/w/V/v look like stars, j/i/l/1/h look vaguely arabic, C looks like wind or waves, 7 looks like a wheel made out of legs, # and * look icy, quote marks look scorching, and comma looks like a James Bond spiral.
The sans version is swashier, less rectangular. Trying out a staggered layout where the bottom of the last “l” in “Will” connects to the top of the “W” in “Wilds”.
Hex grid of tiles made out of radially repeating “w” glyphs from Avona Serif. There’s a lowercase “o” glyph inside the middlemost one: looks kind of like an eye or a ring.
“Will of the Wilds” with split up and rotated so that the bottoms of the Ws hug: “Will” flows upwards and “Wilds” flows downwards, leaving “of the” the only non-rotated piece of text, working as a kind of bridge for figuring out how to read the whole thing.
The letter W from Avona Serif in angular repetition arrangements of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 letters. The empty spaces inside the letters combine into interesting shapes when they smoosh together.
A long curved wooden object ornately carved in the shape of a… fish? An eel? A crocodile? I don’t know, but it’s very cute!
Uhh… a kind of overturned bronze trash can, but with animal feet. Two little angels standing atop it, seemingly holding a corpse between them? The trash can is engraved with various depictions of people doing something or the other, and has seemingly ornamental chains hung all around it.
Night-time forested mountains. Gently sloping valleys in various directions.
At least 3 different plateaus meeting around the same point. The biggest is like an arrow coming towards the camera from the horizon, surrounded by sheer cliffs. There’s also a ragged coastline under it, looking like it maybe formed by collapsing cliffs in the past, and it’s all fogged up as a nice contrast to the higher plateaus.
Isometric-ish hexagonal game world. Looking over a snow-clad peninsula or something, with frosty-blue waters and blue-black exposed cliffs.
A kind of dragon sculpture(?) with a blade on its head and another on its tail

“The man looks at you with tired eyes. Some foreign creature stirs within his clothing; you think it might be some type of rat.” It’s a cat.

Logo for Association des Sociétés Françaises d’Autoroutes by Adrian Frutiger. Walkway curving over highway.
White-on-black and black-on-white versions of the earlier asymmetric dagger triangle logo. Daggers have a 3-color gradient and a watercolour style edge highlight. The logotype has an enormous pillowy drop-shadow.
Screenshot from my Steam Personal Calendar. In all the visible games there icons, subtitles and other elements hovering around the logotypes mostly get lost in the noise.
Logotypes overlaid on top of a fainter background icons. The icons are made out of radially repeating daggers. 3 versions: green dagger wreath, blue hexagonal dagger compass rose, red asymmetric dagger triangle.
Radial patterns made from 6–12 of the daggers. One looks like something out of a Tolkien manuscript, another like a compass rose. I’m live-editing one of them, ending up with a kind of dagger flower.
Same as in the previous post, but with a big hexagon outline in the background

“Will of the Wilds”, set in Avona Serif
Stylised hex game world terrain with big of cliffs, and a kind of rough plateau extending towards the horizon. Foggy sunrise, showing especially the outlines cliff edges taking on extra sunlight.
Alone. Silent facilities litter the surface of a vast planet. In the distance, the silhouette of a colossal robot. With no clear destination, one soldiers on. Genres Action-Adventure Open World Features Single Player This planet… is still alive. Without knowing why, you awaken on an abandoned planet. Before you lies a vast, silent world. Colossal structures stretch over endless plains, deserted facilities, and an ever-changing sea. The remnants of some grand design litter the planet’s surface. As you journey deeper into this strange world, a colossal robot awaits. Its overwhelming power opens paths to places once beyond reach, transforming your conception of the world. Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more… gen ATLAS — a single-player, open-world action-adventure game. The latest creation from Fumito Ueda, creator of ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian.

High up top-down view of a stylised game world. Coastline, cresting waves. Black hexagonal rectangle running back and forth across the screen in sync with the sped up day-night cycle.

- What actions can the player do? - Can everyone in this world do the same things? Is the protagonist extraordinary or ordinary? - What kind of settings and norms might emerge if these activities are possible and normal? - Who has power in a world where these mechanics are in play? Who receives respect and rewards? - What forms do these rewards take? - How can these actions be used to explore the truths about this world?
WHEN STARTING WITH MECHANICS • What are the possible world states? - How did the world become the way it is now? - Why would someone care? What might be at stake? - Which states are goals? Which states are bad outcomes? - Are there interesting edge cases or rare overlaps? Can these be made meaningful from a story perspective?

screenshot from Future Unfolding with not too dissimilar trees
A very green top-down hex grid world. Woods and clearings. Player meeple standing in one such clearing. Trees made out of stacked circles: wider circles at bottom, narrower at top. Looks like conifers. Stacked clouds occluding the edges of the screen, inviting exploration.
