A full map of Green Sky from Windham Classic’s 1984 Below the Root. This was an epic and mysterious place to me during my childhood. It’s odd to see it all laid out at once, bereft of any sense of accomplishment for exploring the space. I remember quite vividly the exhilaration of finding a little hollow in a grund while floating to earth via shuba. The game also featured a much more robust ambient population than I can remember in any other game at the time.

This game is hugely inspirational to me, and I intend to build something based on this inspiration, but not immediately.
