Maybe it's better to just ask more directly: Which orientation of hex grid do you prefer/find easier to use when looking things up on maps?

Pointy side up 27% (13 votes)

Flat side up 61% (29 votes)

I don't mind 10% (5 votes)
@zander@mastodon.gamedev.place yeah that's what I mean. It's a tricky problem because both answers feel unintuitive in different ways.
@ash I'm also in favour of letting the bees decide. 🐝
@ash By "looking up on a map" do you mean with Cartesian coordinates? Because I think I would find that confusing with a hex grid... My inclination is to use pointy-side-up, but maybe just because that's how they did it in the early Heroes of Might and Magic games 😅
