And so for the Wụūgụ people, I kind of feel stuck - there are so many different ways of organising societies, how do I just choose (or invent) ONE??

And any choice I make is going to have huge impacts on how the rest of things go.

One of the things I'm struggling with is working out the economy/governance.

Here's a few real-life systems:
* the Inca empire (the empire provides food + clothing in exchange for labour; the empire does not trade with others because it just conquers them instead)
* Aboriginal (Australian) groups (in group people do tasks as per social roles; trading with other groups is gift-exchanges)
* Igbo communities (republic of village-states; with organised markets)

today I've done some research into:
* The Inca Empire
* Traditional Woodblock printing in Japan
* The Igbo, Yoruba, and Javanese calendars
* Yoruba and Inca religions

and the cool thing is: I'm learning a lot!

the less-cool thing is: oh gods there are so many decisions to be made with my worldbuilding project and I have no idea which ones are the Right™ ones.

@monorail it's so good!!!!!!

I'm snooze!
nos da~

@monorail omg, is this the one which is full of impossibly evil ones?

@monorail Kihe a mauli ola

@BatElite *launches off you, caws loudly and then spreads my wings*

*tumbles down a slope*

@anna yay!

@codl a... a what??

@BatElite One of the other aspects of the mod fixes a bug that caused parts of the game to run 1.2× faster than usual - the problem is that (even though I probably wouldn't submit the runs anyway), there would be no way for me to compare my time to others.

@pan that's a fun idea!

A similar (but definitely not the same) game is Microscope, which is a collaborative world-building game!

I guess I should note for this: the glitches on PC are the ones I'm used to, so if I go for the GCN emulator route, I would have to re-learn the speedrun...

@Felthry I think I have garlic hardware, so it should be ok!

I'm more worried about making sure I do it right, and not getting caught (b/c Australia has stronger anti-piracy laws than a lot of other places)
