Came across this, published today:

> **[Programming the Apocalypse: How a Doomsday Simulator Murdered Me Repeatedly and...](https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/gaming/a25399561/cataclysm-dark-days-ahead-review-open-source/)**
>
> Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is stunning, sprawling, cruel, addictive, and free.

I’m curious what effect the exposure may have.  
( also curious what impression the community has of the portrayal )

Gold will always be discovered or put in the right place.

Ah, I liked the article but I do wish they’d shown a more mass-appealing tileset. People are more likely to check something out if it’s pretty. Then again it’s a site that caters to more technically-minded individuals, so maybe they won’t mind.

But any publicity is good publicity.
