Dragon Engine Now, Monad Later

 Hello. C J here. I’m currently working on two video games, Dragon Engine and Monad. I’ve realized that at this point I don’t have the time to make both this upcoming year so I’ll finish the core design on Dragon Engine before moving on to Monad. I like both. I will do both properly. I have what I need to know planned to make Dragon Engine and its art creation mode. After I’m done with the core game I’ll look into cute pixel art for fun. The planned price for this one is $8.99 on the Google Play store.

Dragon Engine will still contain the ability to customize one of the game’s maps and host it as a custom shared server world. This is to share art and text with friends or customers as well as to allow for a team to cooperate on an art project. All screenshots made in the game are legal for sale. Buying a character pack or world pack comes with the license to sell art and live footage of them. I’m hoping to provide this as an animation suite software just with video game style character customization instead of custom 3D modelling.

Sigil, the spirit world, is still on the list of Legend Setting regions to detail but there’s one of me. Normally at this point a company would hire a team. I don’t hire. I will never hire although I’ve got some great work on commission being made with a team. That’s a very different business model. The term contracting out is the normal industry term for commission work. Commission is the furry version of the idea. Dragon Engine is designed as a way of customers meeting people who do this kind of work, as well as a way of organizing in person events and activities.

Imagine having a shared server world styled after your hometown. Imagine this world is run by the local city government as a place to post in person events and news. People can log into Dragon Engine, pick their avatar and go hang out with locals and visitors in the world for their city in real life. There’s only enough of me to build one of this concept this year and I’m going with the one I’m already half way through. I’m hoping people meet friends on it. Goodness knows the world could use that these days.

Oh, right. It will be a fun game too.

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...
