Rethinking the Grid, More Space, Better Flow

Rethinking the Grid, More Space, Better Flow

Apr 8, 2025

Hey friends!
This week we’ve been rethinking how the layout of houses and paths works in Treetopians. Our previous grid system had a few limitations when it came to space and flexibility. So, we’re now testing a new structure where everything, including paths and buildings, fits into a single tile module.

Why the change?
The idea is to give characters more room to move around and interact with their surroundings. We noticed that tight layouts made the village feel a bit cramped, so we’re opening things up.

These kinds of foundational tweaks are important as we scale up from prototype to demo. We’re always balancing style, readability, and gameplay, and we’re excited about what this new approach can unlock.

See you next Tuesday for more branches from the treetops! 🌳
