### [Scale]

![Traffic lights](scale.png)

[Scale] is a recent project about modern day society simulation from the
bottom-up by [Uriopass].

In february, the Inspector for specs entities was mostly finished and the
traffic simulation made great progress.
A second [blog post][scale-blog-post] was released about it.

[A recent video][scale-traffic-video] also shows different traffic features such
as traffic lights, stop signs and car AI working together.

### [Ultimate Scale][ultimate-scale]

![Ultimate scale screenshot showing winds and blips](ultimate_scale.png)

[Ultimate Scale][ultimate-scale] is a puzzle game in which you build
increasingly large machines to solve increasingly difficult problems.
The game consists of wind and blips.
Wind propagates along pipes and causes blips to move.
Blips, in turn, activate blocks.

[Leod] is currently working on the core design: How to make the game fun and
what blocks to add. He posted about their thoughts and progress on a
[reddit comment][ultimate-scale-post].
Regularly, videos are posted on their
[youtube channel][ultimate-scale-youtube-channel] showing different machines
made in game such as an [extensible counter modulo 10][ultimate-scale-video-1]
and a [buffer][ultimate-scale-video-2].

A custom 3D rendering pipeline based on glium called [Rendology] was developed
for this project. A [blog post][rendology-blog-post] talks about its design and
relation to Ultimate Scale.
