Screenshot Saturday Sundays: Mapmakers, mushrooms and unfortunate fashionMushroom road, take me home
Mushroom road, take me home

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! We’re having a particularly lazy Sunday afternoon this week, but that shouldn’t mean forgoing a stroll through the delights on offer through the #ScreenshotSaturday hashtag for our usual weekend viewing. This week: pastel cartography, mycelium cottages, data-corrupted highways from hell and squirrels.

Since releasinglovely picturebook excursion Au Fil De L’eau, Aurox’s work has chilled somewhat. Literally, I mean, putting his efforts towards crunchy snowsports tripA Skier’s Journey. Returning to warm pastels, his latest draft taps into the part of my head that’s obsessed with maps, atlases and general cartography. Early days, for sure, but I’m keen on seeing how the developer chooses to landmark this promising world.
One thing you couldn’t pin down on a map, mind, is Mr Thee’s mobile mushroom mansion.

The idea of a walking house rings quite pleasant in the current moment. After all, if I can’t go outside, I reckon it’d be quite nice to explore the world from the comfort of my fungal front room. Thee was previously behindThe Growth Project, apay-what-you-want golf ‘em upthat Pip took to way back in 2016. While it’s hard to conjure more details on this project, Thee’s been teasing what looks like a witchy little romp. I have to imagine this fully-mobile mycelial home is simply the work of a nifty little potion.
Moving on from things that shouldn’t move across ordinary spaces, we’re hopping into a perfectly normal car in an imperfectly broken highway.
