ALT: Greys Anatomy: Simone Griffith Makes Heart Hands

All of the encounter reactions are now decoupled from King's Sea III, which means they can also be run independently by the life/world simulation without needing any cruft. That was the main reason I started this whole thing in the first place. I also cleaned up a bunch of duplicated/old reaction code along the way, especially creature encounters and held-plant interactions.

So, I've been working on a lot of stuff in Pilgrimage! :3 Yesterday was mostly a mix of adding more creature sounds, cleaning up old code, and continuing my efforts to make the various game systems less dependent on the "King's Sea III" Mode. Then I decided to play "Ultima III", which somehow resulted in me spending several hours printing books...(More on that later. :p)...

This morning i updated the pilgrimage page to include a small mini devlog section where I can post little posts and you can read them or view all posts. It specificallfy only displays certain posts (tagged a certain way) so that i can exclude them from my home page (which i do). It will allow me to make little posts here and there talking about development without filling up my main mwebsite with sueerlfluous tiny posts.

Version 0.3.4 This is a biggen! BIG OLE WARNING: This release fully breaks old worlds unless you go and manually update all the historical figures and generated plants , you will have to abrogate your worlds and make new ones. Sorry! Major Gameplay and Simulation Changes Creatures now grow as they age. Both visually and in the simulation. Size determines what you can eat based on what the adult version of that species is capable of eating.

Probability-first simulation might be the future of simulation games I recently saw a video where someone simulated an entire Minecraft world primarily through probability. Instead of literally running every creature’s movement and every tiny action in the background, the simulation determines what is likely to have happened based on the state of the world at any given timestep. I realized that I already do the same thing in…

Pilgrimage is an in depth, retro, ascii world-simulation game made in Godot that doesn't take itself too seriously.
