Game designer with a lot of RPGs and space battle games on the ol' resume. Recent projects include Precipice: Mech Miniatures Combat and Plotweaver RPG! My studio: My game design musings:
Plus, more of @javiroque.bsky.social's amazing concept art within. I especially love his designs for the human settlements (recycled from the spacecraft on which humans reached Arcturus)!
Did @pikorito.bsky.social's first story leave you hungry for more information about Swarmworld Arcturus? Read more about the mysteries of the swarm and its mechfauna inhabitants, on the world homepage, here: www.wildplumgames.com/swarmworld-a...
Swarmworld Arcturus is a very different setting from Arbelos. Where Arbelos is retro, Swarmworld Arcturus is futuristic. Where M-Traks are bulky and difficult to drive, mechafauna (fauns) are lithe and almost eerily intuitive to control. Also, fauns are quite a bit more massive than traks.
Today's a very exciting day for Precipice fiction. You can read Chapters 1-5 of the Arbelos stories now! I'm also incredibly excited to present Chapter 1 of @pikorito.bsky.social's Swarmworld Arcturus! Join Maris as she explores past the safe bounds of her village and into the unknown. (Links ↓)
Continuing the previews of @pikorito.bsky.social's setting Swarmworld Arcturus, not every robot in the Arcturus Swarm is giant. Biots may not tower over people like the massive mechafauna, but they are no less mysterious (design courtesy @javiroque.bsky.social). Learn more next week!
It was being used to illustrate the range of Precipice's mechanics, but everyone can all disagree over whether I placed Voltron: Legendary Defender correctly vis-a-vis Pacific Rim and Evangelion. I'm not sure I even agree with this order.
In the last month or so, I have made the extremely dangerous discovery that, while I still cannot render an object intelligibly from my mind's eye to 3d, I *can* sculpt it in hobbyist clay and then make a reasonably passable 3d "sketch" of the physical object (now that I can observe it directly).
