Magiterra

Sandbox tooling on Magiterra — a farming sandbox with RTS-like control language, where systems thinking had to be baked into play.

Systems thinking, sandbox tooling

Magiterra

A farming sandbox with RTS-like control is a language design problem wearing a cute crop. If the verbs are wrong, no amount of art saves the loop.

Circuit Biscuit Games contributed systems thinking and tooling so play had a grammar — not a pile of features waiting for a producer to sequence them.

Tooling is how a sandbox stays shippable. That is a Games brief we still want.
