 baŝto | still have to find a good color for ground and stone | 15:18:45 |
 Alex | baŝto: Looks good, although you know we're planning for strato to draw a volcano tileset right? | 15:18:56 |
| baŝto | I know | 15:19:08 |
| baŝto | but I’m going through the issues | 15:19:16 |
| Alex | Okay | 15:20:40 |
| baŝto | even though it’s rather going into the direction of a lava cave | 15:20:47 |
| baŝto | with the crystals | 15:20:59 |
| baŝto | if I see something that can solve an issue, I start to adopt it | 15:21:51 |
| Alex | I see | 15:22:03 |
| Alex | I appreciate your efforts here but I don't think recoloring OGA art will be the same quality as an artist creating something from scratch, so I'm not planning on using most of this stuff in VOADI. I think having it in a free resource pack will be more beneficial. Just want to make sure we're on the same page about that. | 15:23:59 |
| baŝto | k | 15:25:17 |
| Alex | If this were 1 year ago it would have also been very different. We didn't have an artist on the team then and it was very vague what direction we were moving in. | 15:26:17 |
| Alex | You have a lot of great ideas that just don't fit into VOADI because VOADI is too far into development | 15:26:34 |
| Alex | I would love to see you create a new game, or a derivative of VOADI, where you can put some of this art to good use | 15:27:04 |
| Alex | Trying to figure out how the gears might spin if there are 4 of them connected in a square. I asked #solarus:matrix.org | 15:36:18 |

| Alex | This fidget spinner makes me think it's probably possible | 15:36:51 |
| Alex | PhoenixII54 pointed out that 4 gears in a square would be like,
A B
B A
Where A is clockwise and B is counter-clockwise.
Then wekhter shared this video for a great visualization of it: https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=izlzmojvNMo&t=217
| 15:44:15 |
| Alex | Maybe I should play Cogs again for some more ideas about using gears | 15:45:01 |
| Alex | Anyway knowing it's physically possible makes me more interested in coding it | 15:47:28 |
 wekhter | maybe! even if you only dip your toe into a few levels, might come up with ideas. i love how thoroughly cogs explores the mechanics of slide puzzles into something actually interesting (instead of just, y'know, reconstructing an image or something) | 15:48:17 |
| wekhter | 😃 | 15:49:47 |
| wekhter | could look pretty cool in pixel art! or could look like a mess. would probably be interesting to look at, though | 15:50:31 |

| Alex | Hahaha those gears with faces are super cool | 15:53:26 |
| wekhter | oh, i don't think i'd seen them animated before (or i forgot) | 15:53:20 |
| Alex | Looks like an enemy from Mother 3 | 15:53:34 |
| wekhter | they're pokemon :p | 15:53:44 |
