#vitruvius — Public Fediverse posts

Olisi ollut kotonakin ruokaa, mutta kun #parturi'in pääsyä joutuu kaupungilla tuntikausia odottamaan (*), tulin syöneeksi kirjastossa eli #Nokia'n #kaupunginkirjasto'n #Aida'ssa. Oli hyvää #lohikeitto'a. Sitten palasin taas yläkertaan lueskelemaan #Vitruvius'ta; tai oikeastaan en ole vielä päässyt johdannosta itse kirjoittajaan saakka. #miehenelämää #työttömyys #vapaaherra #lounas

*) Pitäisi kyllä taas löytää parturi, johon pääsee vain istumalla jonon jatkoksi.

Yesterday, I read a bit in my #GameDesign book and it said that game designers are really like architects. Made me think about one of the greatest ever forgotten geniussen: the Roman architect Marcus #Vitruvius Pollo. The guy wrote a book on how to build fortifications which sounds game-designy and, to me, fascinating.

Make the enemy turn their right side to your walls, so their shield (which is typically in the left hand) cannot protect them from your arrows.
