There was a garden fresh and calm, laid out to please the nose, enchant the eye and ease the restless soul. It burned one day, along with its proud owners. Now there are ashes, stone and memory. Perhaps a curse too, for none and nothing now approach the blasted site but wind.

It is a strange thing for a breeze to take a name, but when it does, it chooses the name of some thing, scent or sound it carried once, or hopes to some day. From left to right, top to bottom, the tokens shown below the map represent Tail Feather, Moose Call, Fresh-Mown, Sough of Wheat, Cross Bun, Chime, Clover by the Sea, and Howl. No shame in choosing one of these yourself, no trouble creating a new one.

Movement beyond the map's edge, and thus the fences, is illegal.
The world responds when breezes move; when they whistle across an aperture or encounter an obstacle that does not wish their escape, for example. If scent or sound floats in from elsewhere, a breeze need simply pass through it and declare intent to carry it along.

The question occurs at last to Bunny: why blow once upon the stump when it might blow twice instead? It has been done before...
Ah, dirt. Had we only seed.
As the garden grows again, so does the Ash Devil, though Palm's passage cuts it down to size once more. It makes no attempt to pass the fence, instead moving a pace into the garden proper. Finding no 3-ward move to meddle with, Fog's Puckery affects the final move instead, the Devil rides that influence straight back into its preferred haunt. Possessing all your tools, but only one focus, this one is proving quite the nuisance.
Another Towhee answers the call. Now this dance is not only of breeze and ash, but of life as well.

Ash Devils will be generated with a fixed set of five moves, gaining and losing usable moves from that set as play dictates. Note that just like any other breeze, they are free to choose the order in which they move. This notation merely forecasts how their movement pools change over time.

And with that, we've reached turn 10 without me burning myself out. It's been a pleasure to watch you all interact with the game, with moments of efficiency and informal roles arising here and there, though not full potential-unlocking coordination just yet.

Reverberating Field !!prU0lTyE0gz ID:VRngQ0za Wed 11 May 2022 03:26:24 No. 5262730 Report >>5262588 From the point of view of a Traveler that has very limited agency in doing anything other than pushing fences while their level allows me to push them and maybe helping to generate a Tune, I don't find it particularly engaging. Soon enough, I won't even be able to push the fences anymore (if I haven't reached that point already). It might be more interesting for me if I had some way to change my moveset other than by rotating it so that I could meaningfully interact with the environment. It's a bit interesting to see how this all is developing though, and I can see how this would have an appeal for laid-back gameplay.

>>5262730 The Cobblestone is made for situations like yours, especially when it is on a corner. Using Gust also lets you rein in your movement while potentially discovering things beneath the ash.

Londry !swXjIsa.RY
>>5262730 >>5262750 That said, I do think there ought to be a few more interactable objects for breezes to pass through. I'll just have to put some thought into striking the balance between repeatable and contained.
I've got some ideas, but I'm happy to hears yours as well.
Londry !swXjIsa.RY
>>5262765 It's fairly simple in practice. It allows you to move onto a border instead of a normal space. What type of border is determined by where the cobblestone currently sits. Once on a border, your next move must be into a normal space. The Ash Devil has been combining this with rotation to repeatedly end its turn on a Lv8 fence, despite its move profile not normally allowing for this.
More widespread interactables are on the way, once I'm sure I've got the balance between repeatable and contained. I'm happy to hear your ideas as well.

>>5262588 It seemed rather unengaging until I realized I can use Lv 8 fences to turn around. After that, it became quite fun. The exploration of possible interactions is interesting.
Even with fences though, hitting the tiles you want is hard and takes multiple turns. And if the field gets expanded even more it'll only get harder.

>>5262588 I'm finding most of this pretty intriguing, but currently this interaction is making me salty.
>Finding no 3-ward move to meddle with, Fog's Puckery affects the final move instead, the Devil rides that influence straight back into its preferred haunt. Possessing all your tools, but only one focus, this one is proving quite the nuisance. I was pretty clear, I think, that I wanted the Devil off the fence. If there was no 3, shouldn't the puck have simply not happened, rather than doing the exact opposite of the stated desire?
As is, without a guide stepping in and moving the devil, it can stay on the 8 forever.
-it has no turn post, so can react flawlessly, while we must guess
-it knows the rules better than we do.
-it can rotate on the lvl3+ fences to keep itself on the 4/2 line idefinitely
As far as I can tell, there's nothing we can do here.

>>5263532 Legal actions always go through, and I always flatten conditionals. The results will be frustrating sometimes, especially here, where the Devil is particularly well-placed.
That said, it has other, easily targetable weaknesses, and the fountain has no range limitation. Recognizing the growing difficulty of utilizing either, I'll add Toss as a universal action, allowing players to send breezes and tunes up to two tiles away. For now, this will be player-exclusive.
