Lately when I've been walking the dog after getting the kids down, I've noticed the moon lining up with flights coming into DIA. So tonight I brought my camera

Just ahead of Feather Trail's demo launch (next month!!) I've got the "lifer encounter" minigame inferring its background from the top-down view, reprojecting and scaling the tiles and 2D scenery. It's a little jank but this is all for blurry background content so I'll take it #GodotEngine #gamedev

Startled, I took a better inventory of my surroundings. A hint of movement, off the trail to the left, and I remembered my better self. (4/4)

You may have conquered civilizations, held off armies of mercenary operators, and given every villager their favorite birthday item gift... but have you ever, player, gone on a winter birdwatching stroll with Grandma?

As I work towards Feather Trail's demo release this fall, I need to be resourceful to wall the player off from a procgen open world
