AUTHORING TOOL / GENERATED WORLDS

Paint the decisions.See the world they create.

A grid-based authoring surface that puts editable cells and the generated scene side by side. A working development recording makes the relationship visible.

THE DESIGN QUESTION

What needed
to become clearer?

An authoring tool needs to connect a small edit with its effect in a much larger world. That relationship gets harder to inspect when the map and its generated result are separate.

THE DECISION

Connect the views
to the task.

Keep the painted grid as the source and put the 3D preview beside it. Tools, placement controls, and preview inspection stay around the same working area.

THE WORKING RESULT

Watch it.
Inspect the details.

The saved development recording shows cell-based authoring, a forest-camp layout, a prop shelf, and the generated preview. This is prototype footage, rather than evidence of a finished release.

33-second silent development recording. Original interaction speed.

What to look for

  1. Compare the painted layout with the generated camp.
  2. Notice the tools and placement shelf around the authoring surface.
  3. Inspect how the preview gives spatial context to grid decisions.

THE APPROACH

Make the next
decision easier.

A closer look at how the product organizes the work.

01

Define the source

Use cells to describe ground, vegetation, paths, water, and placements.

02

Connect source and result

Show the editable grid and generated scene in the same workspace.

03

Inspect in context

Use the preview to examine the world that those authoring decisions produce.

Privacy policy

Updated September 21, 2026

What this website collects, why it is used, and the choices you have.

Who this notice covers

Strategic Sloth LLC is registered in Wyoming, United States, and operates this studio and learning website. Contact privacy@strategicsloth.com about privacy or your information. This notice covers this website, enquiries, and our handling of book-order information. Separate applications, games, and linked services may have their own notices.

Information used to provide the site

When you visit, hosting and delivery providers may process your IP address, requested pages, browser information, and technical logs to deliver and secure the site. Fonts are requested from Google Fonts, which receives the connection information necessary to deliver them.

If you email us, we receive your address, message, and any information you include. Please do not send passwords, payment-card numbers, or unnecessary sensitive information. This website does not ask you to create an account or submit account credentials.

Orders and payments

Lemon Squeezy handles checkout as merchant of record, including payment processing, receipts, and digital delivery. We may receive order and customer details needed to provide the product, answer support requests, and handle refunds. Card details are entered with the checkout provider, not into a payment form operated by this website.

Checkout resources load to support purchases. When you use checkout, Lemon Squeezy processes information under its privacy policy and buyer terms.

Optional analytics and advertising

With your analytics choice enabled, Google Analytics measures page visits, interaction events, campaign attribution, and purchases. With your advertising choice enabled, the Meta Pixel measures visits, interactions, and conversions for advertising. These providers may receive device and browser information, online identifiers, page addresses, and event data. Google Analytics is configured without advertising personalization signals.

Advertising disclosures may constitute “sharing” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws. Advertising is off until you opt in. A supported Global Privacy Control signal keeps advertising off. We do not send the text you enter into the creator planning tools as an analytics event.

See Google’s privacy policy and Meta’s privacy policy for their processing.

Browser storage and your choices

Use “Privacy choices” in the footer to accept or reject analytics and advertising independently. Both are off by default. Your choice is saved in this browser for up to six months; clearing browser storage resets it. Declining optional tracking does not prevent reading or purchasing.

When optional measurement is enabled, the site stores campaign information in local storage and checkout attribution in session storage. Checkout attribution is treated as stale after 30 minutes. Changing to essential-only clears this site’s stored attribution and accessible analytics/advertising cookies; your browser can also clear cookies set by other services. A choice change reloads the page so the selected services can be stopped or started cleanly.

Purposes, recipients, and retention

We use information to operate and secure the website, deliver purchases, respond to messages, maintain business records, and—when you choose—measure use and advertising. Relevant providers receive information needed for hosting, communications, checkout, or enabled measurement. We may disclose information when legally required or to address fraud and protect legal rights.

Where applicable, processing relies on contract performance for orders, consent for optional tracking, legal obligations for required records, and legitimate interests for proportionate security and enquiry handling. Providers may process information in countries other than yours. Applicable transfer requirements depend on the provider and your location.

Business records are kept as needed to fulfill the purpose, resolve disputes, and meet applicable recordkeeping duties. Provider-side retention follows the relevant service’s settings and policies. This notice does not promise immediate deletion of records that must legally be retained.

Requests, children, and updates

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or obtain a copy of information, object to processing, withdraw consent, or complain to a privacy regulator. Email us with your request. We may need proportionate verification and will respond within the period required by applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing.

This studio and business-learning website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information. Separate game products require their own audience-appropriate notices.

We will update this notice when practices change and identify its revision date. A policy update does not itself change your optional tracking choices.

Terms & refunds

Updated September 21, 2026

Clear terms for using the site, buying digital books, and requesting a refund.

Website and product scope

This website is operated by Strategic Sloth LLC, registered in Wyoming, United States. These terms describe use of the website and our digital book offers. Software, games, bespoke services, or third-party tools may have separate licenses or agreements presented with those products. Describing a product in development or awaiting launch is not an offer of immediate access or a guarantee of a release date.

What a book purchase includes

The product page and checkout identify the digital book or bundle, included items, and price. Book offers on this site are one-time digital purchases, not subscriptions or printed books. Prices are shown in USD unless checkout states otherwise; applicable taxes and the final total appear before payment. Review the contents before ordering.

Lemon Squeezy is the merchant of record for checkout. Its buyer terms also apply to the transaction. Use an email address you can access for the receipt and delivery. If an order or download is missing, use the support details in the receipt or contact us below.

30-day book refund guarantee

Our digital book and book-bundle offers include a 30-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund within 30 days of purchase using the support details in your receipt or privacy@strategicsloth.com. Include the order number and purchase email so the order can be located. You do not need to justify why the book was not right for you.

Refunds are processed through Lemon Squeezy; payment-provider processing times can vary. This guarantee is additional to any mandatory rights you have for faulty, misdescribed, or undelivered digital content. It does not shorten those rights. Different products or service engagements may specify their own refund terms before purchase.

Using the books and tools

You may read purchased books, keep personal backup copies, and apply the ideas and exercises to your own work or business. Commercial use of what you learn is allowed. Buying a copy does not transfer copyright or grant permission to resell, redistribute, publicly upload, or repackage the book, sample pages, artwork, or included materials as your own product. A specific template or asset license takes precedence where provided; statutory exceptions remain available.

Strategic Sloth and its licensors retain rights in their respective content, branding, and software. Third-party names and marks belong to their owners. Do not misuse the site, infringe others’ rights, introduce malicious code, or interfere with access or security.

Education, availability, and responsibility

Books and articles provide education, not a promise of earnings or a substitute for individual professional advice. You decide how to apply them. See the disclaimer for topic-specific context.

We aim to provide accurate descriptions and a working site, but availability and error-free operation cannot be guaranteed. To the extent permitted by applicable law, free website resources are provided as available. Nothing in these terms excludes mandatory consumer guarantees, our express refund promise, or responsibility that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

Questions and changes

For orders, rights enquiries, or problems with the site, contact privacy@strategicsloth.com. Include the relevant page or order reference, but never full payment-card details. We will try to resolve the issue without limiting your legal remedies.

Future changes will carry an updated date. They do not retroactively remove the product description, refund promise, or mandatory rights applicable to a completed purchase. Applicable law and any non-waivable rights remain in effect.

Disclaimer

Updated September 21, 2026

How to use our educational material, examples, and product information.

Educational content

Strategic Sloth’s books, articles, samples, and creator tools help you explore ideas and develop understanding. They do not create a lawyer-client, adviser-client, or other professional relationship. Legal, tax, banking, investment, residency, and citizenship topics require current official sources and advice appropriate to your circumstances before you act.

Results and examples

No guide, worksheet, product idea, or example guarantees demand, sales, earnings, business success, tax savings, residence permission, or citizenship. Outcomes depend on your work, circumstances, market conditions, and applicable rules. Illustrative figures are examples, not evidence of typical results. A sample chapter reproduces its source edition and may use historical examples.

Dates, accuracy, and external resources

Articles show their publication date and, where available, a separate editorial-update date. An update is not a certification that every statement or linked resource will remain current. Paid-book editions are not automatically updated whenever an article changes. If you spot an error, please email privacy@strategicsloth.com with the page or passage.

External resources and services have their own terms, pricing, availability, and privacy practices. A link or mention does not establish endorsement, partnership, or a guarantee from that provider.

Tools, games, and previews

Product previews illustrate the work described on the page. Features and availability for unreleased products may change. Do not rely on a planned feature as a current purchase entitlement; the applicable product description and license govern what is offered at purchase.

Your rights remain intact

This disclaimer does not override accurate product descriptions, the stated book refund guarantee, mandatory consumer protections, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Read the terms and refund policy and privacy policy for further details.
