Next project

The font has started selling already, and that makes me happy.

So now it's time to start moving on to some of the other unfinished projects which litter my hard drive.

'Other Strangeness', the mutant game based on FUBAR.

My Rentpunk computer RPG, which is generally getting refined and coming along nicely. I'm happy with the dark, gritty, drug hazed simulation which forms the basis of the program, now it just needs a bit more story to make it more interesting than just a bleak tale of trying to survive for as long as you can before disease and neurosis hits. It also needs a few more pictures.


Here's one of the new background city images for the project (the city during the morning). It's more in keeping with my typical illustration style...and arguably very similar to the style I was aiming towards with my 'Other Strangeness' project.

I'm stuck at a certain point in my moulded foam LARP weaponry, more components needed...just waiting on pay day to source them. Then I might get stuck into that tutorial series I've been promising.

I can't work out how to make my deck of cards live on DrivethruCards for Ghost City Raiders, so that's a bit frustrating too...and when things don't work, I get a bit nihilistic, and I'm actually thinking of stripping that whole game back to it's basic concepts and rebuilding it from the ground up.

Anyway...that's enough rant for the moment...back to the grindstone.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
