Time for More Heart and Fur

 Hello. C J here. We’re wrapping up Pride Week here in Kingston and the Islands Ontario with the actual parade and arts market later today. This reminds me so much of a furry convention that I’m having to double check internally what city I’m in. This worked out well to get me the week off I needed from game design after finishing like everything enough to playtest. I’m looking for playtest teams starting this next few weeks and I’ll be relying on Facebook furry groups and their chats to do so.

So next. Food of the World is still being researched and I’m still working on animating some of the recipes as videos. Those videos will be here and samples will be on Facebook. The Quantum Starter Set is being worked on and after that Quantum will move onto Lands of Creation. The Starter Set contains enough to play the game but Lands of Creation will vastly expand what it is capable of. Food of the World will be presented as recipes on cards and the first batch will be part of this Expansion.

This is not a very large workload but it involves a lot of planning. Video game design is mostly the same for now, as is Facebook marketing. Both are going well. Time to start adding things to the to do list. I’m also working on Heart and Fur Modern as well. This is a modern day themed Heart and Fur book that is an expansion of the core rules. This one will be a team effort. The original Heart and Fur was made with a vast team of artists, volunteer testers and fans all across the internet.

I’m looking to recreate this model with Heart and Fur Modern. I’m going to start hanging out in some of the Facebook furry group chat groups and see what the Facebook community want out of my game. I’m open to just about anything so long as it fits the game’s themes of social narrative and non violent conflict resolution. The game has no set setting, no continuity rules and no actual combat. Here are some of my ideas so far.

Modular modern day character professions and backgrounds to make character creation easier. These might come with packages of character personalities and romantic preferences as well.

A module about running a campaign set inside of a cafe as its employees.

Modern day technology or science themed races like electric dragons, copper wolves and scientist rodents.

These ideas will rapidly be made into free samples so people can keep track of the game development in real time. These are my next project after my recovery time from Pride Week. I’m also adding ten more of these books to the production line, one for each of the ten biome types in Lands of Creation. Lands of Creation divides real life food, culture and history into categories by the climate it happened in. I want social RPG and slice of life gameplay in these ten categories. More soon.

The Tunnels Under Haven

 Hello. C J here. Walking down the streets of Haven is not always as safe as the city would like people to think. Yes, they have curbed the banditry that plagues the Southern half of the Coastal Road. The Desert Princes whose cities dot the Southern coast of the Southern Continent if anything make the problem worse for themselves with their constant rivalries and politics. So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
