Announcing Imagine – Live Your Art

 Hello. C J here. It’s time for video game design news again. I’m switching my video game development projects over to GDevelop and I’m making plans to finally get started on my first game. This will be happening after Pride week and after I recover from Pride week. My main project is still the epic open world fantasy RPG Dragon Engine. This will be years away because I need most of the Quantum cards for the regions and locations done for the entire setting to be done first.

Dragon Engine is still actively being planned, the script is still being written and the crafting engine is still being designed in the background at all times. Quantum will speed up in terms of production speed once the core set is done. This leaves a number of other video game projects. Once I have some more understanding and design knowledge of the Hell setting region in the Legend Setting I’ll start on Duskbringer.

Duskbringer is going to be remarkably pleasant despite being set in the Legend Setting Hell setting region. Our character Dusk is for one a male anthro lion and is for two strongly a good person. His emotions and feelings are most of the game’s plot as he confronts the fact that the Watchers who run Hell and even the damned souls there working for them are happier than he is. The Watchers can’t leave Hell by the rules of the other gods and so they made it into a paradise for themselves. They grow their own wine grapes, for example.

Dusk has to learn that friendship can be found in the most unlikely of places as he meets, befriends and eventually saves beings like Makelith, the Ebon Prince, Lord of All Darkness and Lady Snow, Lady of Lust and Bearer of the Duchy of Iron. Makelith is also gay and has a boyfriend while Lady Lust is intersex with a preference for female pronouns. This planning process is going great and expect these characters to be lively and willing to speak to each other for most of the game’s script.

I need a project for now though. I thought first I should look into 3D asset making software and start making the modular ground, floor, roof, wall and foliage tiles I need to make the landscape, buildings and environments of the games. This is a project in itself and I will be using the textures I already have on hand for art of these biomes and locations. I’m posting a few of these textures at the end of this post. These are hand drawn digital mixed media, mostly chalk and oil pastel.

I had an idea though. The furry fandom are had to find. We often have to Google where to post our own art and meet people in the furry fandom itself. I can find great furry works of writing and art all over the internet but where do we hang out? My thought, build a digital art museum software. It will be furry themed and I might need to get one of the more powerful multiplayer plans from the GDevelop shop to make it work.

My thought is this. Give everyone access to my building tiles system including the ones for making houses and decorating them. People can make their own realm and decorate it however they want. Then they can put artwork on the walls and make an actual digital museum of their art or of a friend’s art, then invite people for a viewing. I’m adding realm-specific chat and the ability to download art right out of the app. This will be for Android and my planned price is $20.

I also want support for sharing writing and PDF format stories in digital book libraries. If anyone wants to sell realm design services, avatar design services, art commissions, writing commissions, or similar through it then go right ahead. Here’s those textures.

Four New Recipes for January

 Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Recipe - Lemon-Lime Soda

 Hello. C J here. I have here a recipe for homemade lemon-lime soda. This beverage is just as sweet as the original brand it’s based on but has actual lemon juice and lime juice in it. It tastes similar but not as acidic. Strangely this recipe worked the first time I made it. It’s mostly glucose syrup, which any chemist with my knowledge of food could make in a home kitchen. The recipe makes four cups, each one to be served over ice. One cup is mostly enough for one person. Ingredients One Cup Sugar One Half Cup Water One Tablespoon Lemon Juice Three Tablespoons Lime Juice Two and a Half Cups Soda Water For the Glucose Syrup Mix the sugar and the water in a medium saucepan. Put over medium heat and stir frequently until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is clear. It should still be thicker than water. For the Soda Measure out two and a half cups of soda water. Pour into this the glucose syrup in a heat proof one quart measuring cup or other heat proof vessel. Add the lemon juic...

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

 Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...
