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.

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...
