New Year's update

Things have slowed down a bit as I've been traveling a bunch in November and December.  For my 40th birthday I decided to cross off something on my bucket list and went to Australia to dive the Great Barrier Reef.  Big thanks to my wonderful girlfriend Serina who pushed hard to see as much as possible while we were there and boy did we ever!  We also spent some time in Hawaii on the way there and back so I was on vacation for almost 3 weeks, I think the longest vacation of my life.

About two weeks after that I flew out to Boston to spend the holidays with my parents and my sister's family.  I was out there till year's end, and I got to spend more time with them then I usually do, so the end of 2014 was really great in terms of personal stuff!

While on vacation I thought a lot about DieselWars and the higher-level aspects of the game.  I decided to pull the trigger on something I've been thinking about for a while - procedural levels.  I'll write another blog on why I decided to go that way, but part of it also was to make it a roguelike-like.  I think it will fit the theme and it goes along well with procedural levels.  

Here's a crude early look at the road system that I'm working on for cities and one of the types of waterways that will break them up:

I'll be back on a regular posting schedule next week!
