As I indicated in my last post couple of posts, I decided to pass along a few of the lessons learned I’ve had from some recent artwork I made for a game using the Unity Engine. I’m specifically referring to the work I did with multi-layered road sprites and the 2 bit supply sprites. Both…
As I indicated in my last post, I’m releasing the brown road tiles I’ve been working on despite some reservations. You can find it on EDIBLE. I was not able to get the roads to look exactly the way I wanted, but most of the anomalies are only visible on the closest zoom settings. The…
For the sake of completeness, I’ve decided to do road networks next. I knew this was going to be a painful exercise before I got started. But for the sake of completeness, I wanted to finish out the map-related art in the terrain directory before I moved on to something else more interesting, probably unit…

The screenshot provided in this post shows how the tiles look next to the city tiles released earlier. This screenshot comes from the Falklands War scenario…

Three days straight of playing the AI and it became obvious that some variation was required. The default AI simply struggles too much with the high number of starting units to be effective. …
Above are some of the highlights from today’s game. I’ve been play testing the new Falklands War campaign and made some modifications which will be uploaded shortly. One key change is I’ve added the visibility to the exploration mode of the game. As much as this decision pains me, the AI is just hopeless without…
