Not a bad price if you think you'd enjoy a few quiet hours of experimenting with the abstract.
Mu Cartographer will be available through itch.io on May 28th and will cost just $5/€4,49.
But who am I kidding? I just want to see what bizarre shapes I can make. It also allows you to wander through the land and find treasures, stories and. Manipulate an abstract machine that gives you the power to modify the topography and colours of the circular landscape in the middle of the screen. Watching the video above, there's some colour palettes to discover and a hint at some deeper secrets to if you're persistent enough on finding them. Mu Cartographer is a contemplative game experience which combines colourful sandbox and experimental treasure hunt. It's probably fun to just mess around with all the various controls that surround your churning slice of colour, but those who master how to intentionally shape the landscape can discover little surprises too. Mu Cartographer was originally a shader experiment in last spring's Exile Game Jam, but French developer Titouan Millet obviously saw how wonderfully absorbing it was and spent the last year turning it into an abstract treasure hunt.

While it makes for nice pictures, seeing it in action is something else entirely. Only here, the dials and doodads you tweak shape a roiling landscape of pretty colours for you to lose yourself in. It may have emerged involuntarily as a consequence of the mapmaking methods used by the map’s author, but the historical context of the chart suggests that it was probably the result of a deliberate choice by the cartographer.Mu Cartographer is the visual equivalent of spending an afternoon playing with an audio synthesizer just to see what absurd sounds you can make. The underlying projection found for La Cosa’s map has a simple geometric interpretation and is relatively easy to compute, but has not been described in detail until now. Other important findings are that scale is mathematically consistent across the whole Atlantic basin, and that the line labeled cancro on the map does not represent the Tropic of Cancer, as usually assumed, but the ecliptic. The results obtained show that La Cosa’s latitudes are in fact reasonably accurate between the English Channel and the Congo River for the Old World, and also between Cuba and the Amazon River for the New World. In this study, a mathematical methodology is applied to identify the underlying cartographic projection of the Atlantic region of the map, and to evaluate its latitudinal and longitudinal accuracy. Previous cartographic studies of the 1500 map by Juan de La Cosa have found substantial and difficult-to explain errors in latitude, especially for the Antilles and the Caribbean coast.
