Next After Cooking With a Wolf

 Hello. C J here. I’m finally done the roughly nine years of work I put into Cooking With a Wolf. It’s just the page borders and front cover art left to do and I know what I want for those. The deadline is Pride next June or even the following September for ComiCon. I’m thinking that food for gamers and game designers will go over well there. Also the price will probably be more like $10 CAD seeing how little it will cost to print in both resources and time.

Now for what’s next. I’ve wrapped up a project so it’s time to speed up another one. Also, Bluesky is going well and I can see a spike in views here since posting there yesterday. That’s fast even for a fast social media platform. It’s time to really focus on the next game I want done, Quantum Starter Set. I also want this gender inclusive and educational card game done soon so I can play test it. I don’t draw on weekends so I’ll resume working full time on the card art next week, tomorrow on Monday.

I’ve made a list of all the ingredient cards I need for the gems that pay for cards you play. I also have 28 character images left to draw. Two are done so far. Here’s the fun part. I think I’m developing a reputation on Bluesky for doing self-hypnosis themed furry art, mostly pinups of my characters. I want all of the item and character cards to have a free to download pinup alternate version for the adults in my audience. This should be really fun to draw, showing off how actually good looking all my characters are. The art will be on Bluesky as I finish it and also in a folder somewhere in the downloads link.

The ingredients are mostly food that I know how to draw. Things get more interesting when I consider the item and characters. In particular the starting weapons and armour need to have pinup versions. These items are magic in the game and also come with small ‘spells’ on the cards, which are really very simple self-hypnosis commands. I need to draw these and what they do in pinup form. The food won’t get this treatment because it doesn’t need to. I also want to depict my characters showing off what they consider their most attractive features. My characters should get to like the way they look.

The equipment cards for the Quantum Starter Set are in the gem colour Ruby, which is for elemental magic and most crafted goods. The theme for Ruby in terms of social and romance plots is consent based hierarchy relationships. I have no idea how crafted goods made out of mostly metal or cloth and elemental magic have anything to do with consent and dominance as a lifestyle preference. I know though that there is amazing magic contained in the word ‘yes’ and that the brain knows to do anything the person running that brain says ‘yes’ to strongly. It will do what it’s told forever if it agrees to doing it once. Past here it’s new game design and new ideas. Here's the final image for sugar.

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...
