Fantastically illustrated and interactive article! I wonder if/how Tailwind will grow to adapt this, as I'm pretty happy with their abstractions now.


Indeed, and I think the point here is giving the feeling of architectural subversion to the player/audience, which both Die Hard and Deus Ex achieve.


It seems that charts exist as part of their blocks offering:

But only for customers in the Pro tier.


Thanks. I looked at blocks, but on a mobile view it only shows the maps option, not everything else :-(


Their world did end for those 80 million people.

If most of society dies in pain and hunger to climate change, would the survivors say "bah, just more fear mongering"?

For me, humanity is the sum of human experiences, not the mere presence of the species. The end of the world being relative and analog.


> Their world did end for those 80 million people.

The world did not end for the other billion on Earth living at the same time. You can't just throw figures like that without putting them in perspective.


This sum is already negative, btw. And it is hard to tell whether it is still negative or just negative. Few happy areas may put you into "it's everywhere like that" dream. But it's not, most species are simply present to supply to someone.


9 million already due of hunger every year, what is the world doing about that presently?


A lot. Billions of dollars are spent to combat it and research on food and agriculture to solve hunger has been going for years.

>The vast majority of hungry people live in developing regions, which saw a 42 percent reduction in the prevalence of undernourished people between 1990–92 and 2012–14.

> 9 million already due of hunger every year, what is the world doing about that presently?

Most of it is because of conflicts. Poverty is decreasing fast across the globe and there were relatively a lot more people dying from hunger in the 80s.


This was very informative for me, thank you!


Thank you for the amazing project!


Could I ask what do you do?


Maybe they are too polite to say, but I had a quick look at the profile and followed some links to the home page[0] and Patreon page[1]. Also really enjoyed reading the first chapter of Decrypting Rita!

Best of luck with your work.

Right now I'm mostly mooning about with a bad case of seasonal depression, and sssslllloooowwwwllllyyyy working on the beginning of my next two comics. And the kickstarter for the last volume of Rita.
