I Changed My Mind by Lunch

This morning I decided that players could climb the ice at the edge of the world and land on top of it. By the afternoon I had changed my mind. Nobody gets over the ice. So the session rebuilt it the same day, as shelves of ice that step up with a lip at the top and an invisible wall above that, all the way around the disc.

I could feel bad about reversing myself that fast, but I do not. That is what the morning version was for. It showed me what landing up there would mean for the whole world and I did not like it. Better to find that out on day one than three months from now.

The good news today was in the air. The Slipstreamer flew for the first time with its engine glow working, shifting from cyan at idle to amber when you push it, right there on the game screen. It still needs real tuning, but it looks alive.
