Archiving blog.megastructure.org

It’s been really fun to follow my thoughts and various projects over the years with this blog-like apparatus. But I haven’t been extremely active in this area for a while, so I’m moving it to a static archive on Neocities.org. Thanks for visiting and taking an interest. I will try to keep these links alive […]

So Twenty-One [Abandoned WIP]

I’ve been sitting on this project for a long while, and it’s time to come to terms with the fact that it will probably never be completed. So I’m releasing it and the source code in the very state it exists on my hard drive. The game was inspired by (and features) So Twenty One […]

Nostalgia: Late 90s

Megastructure Transport System

Concept and design – a patchwork approach

In lieu of proper concept artwork or mock designs for a potential finished project, putting together photos discovered on Flickr has become a windfall of concept design. Using Flickr’s new Gallery feature, I have put together a few megastructure explorations. These are built from other users’ photos, but represent a larger structure that crosses space […]

thoughts on predictably-autogenerated content

I opened this separate WordPress blog on Megastructure.org in order to explore some more technical aspects of the building process. I hope to publish my findings as I go along, with the lofty goal of making a complete Megastructure experience freely available. The stepping-stones along the way consist of modeling separate aspects of the Megastructure, […]
