Design notes now available


I've just uploaded a separate PDF that goes into a few details about the making of Hill Marks.

This was motivated by the Disc 2 jam. I was particularly interested to give Hill Marks this treatment because it came together unlike any other project I've worked on due to the fact I was given a random assortment of ephemera to inspire it in the first place (thanks to Adam Vass of https://worldchampgameco.itch.io/ and their Wondercabinet Invitational in 2023).

Check it out the PDF if you want a bit of a behind the scenes for this game and my process.

Thank you for this - first because I'm fascinated by your process - Hill Marks piqued my interest even though I haven't had a chance to utilize it much yet. But also because it opened my eyes to some fascinating things of which I wasn't aware, like the Schuylkill notes (I'm originally from PA and very familiar with the area where this is apparently happening). I'm immediately reminded of the Toynbee tiles, which have sort of faded from public consciousness as they've disappeared from the streets. 

I've never heard of the Toynbee tiles but they look fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
