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.

Announcing Legend - Quantum

 Hello. C J here. I'm announcing today the official tabletop RPG companion to my upcoming video game line Quantum Dragon. The tabletop RPG companion is named Legend - Quantum. I finally get to write something in the Legend series again. I am very happy about this. The Legend series other than this one is done and will be out once its proofread, which may be a while from now. Reliably this series is the best work I've ever done on anything. I'm planning on writing setting and character sourcebooks for the whole game line as well but for now I'm working on the core book for the video game crossover. There's a free in-development copy in the Downloads page now. Have fun. C J Mcpherson

Minecraft Experiments - Steampunk Part One

 Hello. C J here. It's time for more Minecraft. This time we have some steampunk themed buildings. I'm doing these mostly as an experiment and they aren't in the part of the Astral I usually build, Ascala. Ascala needs more planning so I'm doing generic Astral themes instead of a specific nation this time. Remember that lighthouse form earlier? Well we're going in its direction this time. But first a long minecart ride from the underground station. And here we are in Port Stone. You'll notice the style of building is different. That's because it's a different part of the setting were building here. Here on the surface we have a boat waiting for us. We have a long voyage ahead of us. They've implemented some beautiful coral reefs in one of the previous updates. Believe it or not I've been playing Minecraft since before there were horses in it. Minecraft is still good. And here we are, at the new steampunk build site in the middle of an ocean. We h...

My New Favourite Video Game Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’m just going to continue discussing the video games I’m playing for a while. I’m planning out another batch of Minecraft builds while I play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. It’s kind of weird that these are job activities for me but they are. The Minecraft builds need to be done so I can learn some more things about level design. The Pokemon game is what I’m doing for fun. At least it was. Pokemon make great inspiration for the work I do and the stories I write. I’m now having to make more time for it. Most of the characters in my setting are inspired by the Pokemon games. Our main characters Ivy, Blue, William and Benjamin are all based on some of the Pokemon in the first three generations. Ivy is specifically a fictitious all black Pokemon. Blue is an all blue togepi, William is a persian and Benjamin is a tauros without the horns. I’m going to get back to drawing humanoid versions of the first three generations eventually. These to my knowledge count...
