Page last updated 17.04.2024 - [Use the Day / Month / Year method here] Going through and adding stories to backlog (Some of them are ooollllddd!)
Taopity tappity typity - Having fun doing the writing thingy!
Scraps are used pretty frequently when I'm working on stuff!
Current things in the works - Pretty much everything is on hold at the moment ; Things get done when they get done.
Federation, Federation, and Federations (Short series starting with Operatives and Agents) - Short story rough outlined, frankenreference *part 1 done, artist contacted, rough sent, payment done. Waiting to hear back from artist.
Short Description - An operators work is never simple. Dissidents, traitors, and keeping the curtain closed is hard work. (This will be ongoing, other things will be done before the series is finished. Looking for artist - Previous artist kinda... ran into a years long art-block issue.)
That's not how it works! - A deep look at repurposed organs by the empire and the hive/swarmers. Alternate title "Reproductive organs for reproduction!" - testicles as wombs, cocks as birth canals, these boys are in for a long ride. (Have an artist in mind. Broke as all hell at the moment so doing this will need to wait. Have a story in mind, but not outlined)
Volunteer Labor - Three heads in green, a horse, and a bull find themselves volun-told in a particular sort of production line with a theme. Feds executive bar where everything on tap is white, the theme is Moo, and they're going to be at it for a few months at a minimum. (Have an artist in mind, have a story outlined.)
You can't lick your own elbow (But your friends can!) - Short story rough outlined, art completed.
Short Description - A closer look at smugglers and the cartels and the things they do to who they've collected. (Story short on pause for now, wanted to get some character sheets done)
Squids - The final frontier. Not really, they're just nosy. - Short story rough outlined, frankenreference on hold, still fiddling around hard with this one
Short Description - A comedy of tentacles, probes, and cephalopods who are bad at keeping their suction cups to themselves.
Matches and Exhibitions - Giants in the playground. - Short story rough outlined, frankenreference on hold, two to three part maybe?
Short Description - Propaganda, super soldiers, and Sports! A match of the Federation's best going head to head with the Empire's finest all in a hot and sweaty display of martial prowess. (On Hold. Not sure what I want to do with this one yet)
The ambassador's Effects 2 - Why my predecessor went native - Short story rough written, frankenreference in the works, no artist yet
Short Description - Dalla rummages through more of the effects left behind by former ambassador Harken and finds Imperial house warming gifts to have a strange penetrative quality to them.

Exploration, Games, and Writing a Setting
8 months agoBaldurs Gate 3 - Being the nosiest fuck in the sword coast gets you flung to bizarre places by petulant outsiders, the SUN BEAM, and story relevant puzzles / story adjacent lore areas where being said nosy fuck pays off with cinematic cutscene, relevant to location and story item rewards, or greatly expanding on companion stories. An aggressive take of Show do not Tell. This is exploration at near it's zenith, beautiful, enticing, rewarding, and expands on everything going on in the background. It comes off as a love letter to being said nosiest fuck on the Sword Coast even with it's flaws and for a game about fighting off your imminent death man does it scratch the right itches even with it's bug-tacular and incomplete 3'rd act.
Starfield - Being the nosiest fuck in the milky way gets you.... randomly color coded gear at most hand crafted sites (There are exceptions, but blue, purple, orange unrelated garbage is the usual reward) maybe a ship if you're lucky that is in no way story relevant, and companion story quests that do not expand on the setting itself or the companion themselves. The storytelling quickly becomes an iteration of "Join the army / become a cop /debt collector, it's good for you!," "An alien did it," and "Academics are all hyper-individualistic ego maniacs," themes that pair poorly with a story that's theoretically about space explorers, a mechanic Bethesda's made both boring and unpleasant to do. It's a mechanic that's there to be there, not a mechanic that's integral to the story itself. There are good parts but it comes with baggage that makes it a septic slog to trudge through.
Personally love exploration focused games - Subnautica, Red Dead, Horizon Zero, and Hollow Knight all do it so incredibly well as it's an integral part of what makes those games tick. Yes, there is combat in them, but large portions of it are avoidable if you chose to do so and when it is mandated, the writers make it story relevant. A thought process that Bethesda hasn't thought about since the Shimmering Isles at the latest.
