Welcome to My Plans After Dragon Engine

Hello. C J here. As of soon Dragon Engine will be fully planned and I'll know how to make all of it. Past there it will be a job of slowly making the 3D assets, coloring them and using free tools to make menus, quests, combat and similar. I am ready to start planning my next batch of work. Dragon Engine will see regular updates for pretty much forever but they will be built on the same core concepts. This is 20 years of planning done forever.

Next? Animations. I have such a hard time finding things I want to watch. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I'm going to be making a number of hand drawn, fountain pen art animated series. Yes, I'm bringing movies and TV back to their roots and hand making everything including the backgrounds. I can reuse frames both for characters and environments so the actual workload is a lot smaller than you might think. Here's my plans.

I have two educational series planned. Food of the World will be animated and yes, I'm hand drawing characters chopping carrots, stirring soup and making drip coffee. This is, firmly is, what I'm doing for fun. All Myths Are True is my answer to the magic university genre and is set at the Order of Mages. It deals with explaining the setting's magic system and its real life roots through the lives of a team of main characters.

My novel project The Relic Wars will probably he converted into a movie or miniseries. Also in the same setting region is a slice of life romance I'm calling Ascalan Summer. I'm planning the big ticket item to be Weaver, an epic fantasy set in the Astral and starring all of The Astral Ten. I'm going to continue adding to this list so don't expect the medium to go downhill after I finish the set. I am also going to look into using my company budget to have individuals or even teams work with me as script writers or animators. We'll see. More soon.

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

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...

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...
