one interesting observation on game ui design is that Chinese games tend to use buttons with Chinese characters for lots of in-game actions while in English mostly use graphic icons. Kinda surprised about how concise and aesthetically pleasant Chinese is as a language when using in design

Hullo! We are building Project Mirage on @redstone - an onchain casual island-building game where you can expand, steal and trade islands on mobile. We are open to playtesting on Garnet and launching a new release every 2-3 weeks. Playtest and let us know your thoughts here: projectmirage.xyz. #superchain

Some observations of the current release: - wiping out islands is discouraging and scared most players away (but good attempt for testing out mechanics, lol) - best players figured out the optimal placement already and kept using the same strategy - apartment is too cheap and got abused a lot

I always feel very void and lose track of direction after shipping each new release. It’s the time that I want to build the most because I get to discover how much more work the game needs, but it’s the worst time to ship due to lack of direction/inspiration.

Went off-track to explore some LLM with intuition and built an I Ching(易经) divination tool using GPT4: https://fuxi-coral.vercel.app . If the universe is sending you a message, would it matter if it’s sent by AI or a human being?
