| 1625199663480733698 | You will NEVER PLAY the original version of Hyper Light Breaker! Because in 2022 it went through a massive genre shift. Something in game dev we rarely get to see. Thankfully @HeartMachineHQ had us along for the ride. WATCH NOW: https://t.co/kpJI5OvSY6 https://t.co/z02ycOVu7p | 8 |
| 1625307762925133825 | This episode was a long long time in the making. It is soOOOooooo good and includes lots of eye candy 🍬🍭 and a wealth of tech art discussion. So proud of our team @HeartMachineHQ , and so grateful to @noclipvideo for the coverage!!! https://t.co/ArKDBOzEVT https://t.co/iqQwvGJcY4 | 3 |
| 1627463439898578944 | T-minus 43 minutes until my first big video in over a year premiers.It's the culmination of over a decade of crowdfunding several games. Yes, there are lowlights, but also highlights from devs like @ZeboydGames , @KIROOGames , and @HeartMachineHQ https://t.co/dgKfl441mD | 2 |

| 1626264373818716161 | @HeartMachineHQ I don't know how feasible that is with Houdini and your system but if it's possible and you haven't already tried it then I'd recommend giving it a shot. | 0 |
| 1626263648791412739 | @HeartMachineHQ With the testing I did, some of the most interesting things generated were from different meshes extending past a tile or zone and seeing how those different combinations worked out. As an example: https://t.co/CuHOFmsVFE | 0 |
| 1626262584616800263 | @HeartMachineHQ ... you could potentially have more connected land masses with an island or two. You might also be able to get something resembling a river running through the overworld which could be cool. | 0 |
| 1626261431824809986 | @HeartMachineHQ I like the colors on the old map and that it has connected continents. I've done a bit of procedural generation in Unity where tiles or rooms are generated to make up the space. If you allow the terrain (or place prefabs) to extend past a "zone" then .... 1/2 | 0 |

| 1625602189241745408 | @HeartMachineHQ Hoghh.... The coveted high resolution image of the map first posted in a Kickstarter update from December 2013.... After a whole decade.... It's finally here....... | 49 |
| 1625586464309272601 | @HeartMachineHQ Honestly I dig the vibe of the old map more, more info to glean off of it from visuals and also the colors make it seem alive ya know? | 36 |

| 1626991758058962945 | @HeartMachineHQ @HLBreaker I was unironically about to suggest "Lightbreaker" due to the effect :| Something like "Spectral splitter" could work too, or anything involving splitting the light spectrum. Mad props to the VFX artist behind these juicy impacts btw ✨ | 19 |
| 1625588481471746048 | @HeartMachineHQ A thing I especially loved in HLD was doing the whole game without names for the region or the landmarks, having to deal with unnamed thing was a wonderful experience. Still really eager to discover these new lands in HLB. | 18 |

| 1625590970635935780 | @HeartMachineHQ Beautiful place, yet so... disturbing... https://t.co/lmAhBlyWhX | 16 |
| 1625589651326001177 | @HeartMachineHQ Everyone is saying old but I honestly dig new more! The old one looks concept-ish and great for worldbuilding, while the new one is more practical and gives off that vague map vibe I had in HLD | 11 |
| 1627028761639092225 | @HeartMachineHQ @HLBreaker i would probably name it after the hyper light breaker release date so that would be something like.... oh haha silly me what was that release date again? | 10 |
