Screenshot for my kickstarter campaign for the Skies Above JRPG Inspired TTRPG. It shows that it has raised £5257 out of £6000 and has 130 backers with 5 days to go on the campaign!
21 backers away from beating my backer count on the Abbadon kickstarter! Hell yeah, 20 is the next milestone for backers at 150 and we're £713 from funding! So if you think you might vibe with a JRPG inspired TTRPG made by a tiny developer check it out!

With TTS 2025 only a few days away I should mention I am taking part in "The Great Nessie Hunt".
Each participating vendor has a Nessies hiding on their tables with answers to some Scottish trivia! People can grab a flyer, fill in the answers, and enter a prize giveaway.
11 days until @tabletopscot.bsky.social this year! Going to be an absolutely wild week for me between launching my latest KS on the Tuesday before hand, tabling and running games at this while commuting to Edinburgh each day! :P

Tabletop Scotland draws near... I will be at Stall B2-06 with my art prints and even a new 3d printed model design.
See the full floorplan and exhibtor list here: tabletopscotland.co.uk/exhibitors-2...
I still hope that despite the hell that was develoment this is a fun game, I have major doubts it will will be any good but we always have hopes... but also putting the Toreador (and Lasombra) behind a nearly £20 Day One DLC irks me greatly

Kickstarter Prelaunch follower count showing 230 followers.
230 Prelaunch follows...to much to hope for 20 more in the next 2 weeks before the campaign launches?

Screenshot of the Skies Above prelaunch page showing 223 prelaunch follows.
Got three weeks to push this number to 250 prelaunch follows. Which puts it at about the same number I had when I launched abbadon. So, any shares and love would be appreciated!

So not long now to #UKGE2025 I am rather hyped to be back again this year at Stall 2-T38 (quite near the help desk in hall 2).
I have four new artwork prints premiering at the show as well as some copies of my new resin print the "Cute Plague Doctor"

DOOM: The Dark Ages shows why others try to claim the crown the DOOM franchise has worn for generations.
With the shield and parry system front and center, the latest entry to the series makes the gunplay shine.

I'm currently working on my 4th TTRPG and probably my 2nd biggest game to date. Inspired by classic JRPGs including a row based combat system, familiar job classes, cute and colourful monsters, ancient empires, elemental crystals and more!
Sonokuni is "One for the Sickos". Hotline Miami meets Japanese Hip-Hop. It's fast frustrating fun. I laughed, I cried, I almost snapped a controller in half. And only one of those is a lie.

So completed Avowed (PC Game Pass)...
In short a solid enough AA game but with its fair share of issues (both in design, story, and characters) and an ok plot that served its purpose (if sometimes a bit too clumsly), and at 50 odd hours on hard for me was a decent length.
A solid 7.5 out of 10

Video is to big to directly share here on Bluesky, but you can see it over on my Insta. It's the trailer for Skies Above. I'm pretty happy with it and the work that @steven-courtney-vo.bsky.social and @strautmaskreplica.bsky.social have put into it! www.instagram.com/p/DGkxfwHt5jT/

In honor of the new season of #Andor coming soon, I'm just posting this here for no particular reason....

Nothing like making todo list then getting that sinking feeling as you realise just how long and vague it is.

Couple new artworks finished in last few days, "Embrace the Torment Nexus" and one that is still untitled.
Both made in my goto digital art application @procreate.com
Some sketches of art works that are in their early stages. These are mostly physical artworks (well and one sculpt)

If you are interested give it a look. It’s by no means meant as a this is all I believe it think, consider it a framework. Of sorts.

Since 2009 i have been tweaking a document i called the “Kimdedian Creed”, a slightly playful name for a text exploring my own personal beliefs and views.
Over the years its evolved and changed but today I posted a big edit, not so much in its core values, but how i tried to express them.

Aye, and it gave us the “BRAAAM!!” sound :)

But yeah the GitS OST is just so good… those first few bars of Chant 1 are just iconic.
It’s from a much larger piece by Jaron Lanier about the rising use of these agents (or I guess we’d now say “algorithms”). Not read it all but seems interesting…
www.jaronlanier.com/agentalien.h...
Also interesting it mentions a quote about the early stages of “intelligent agents” which is so very relevant with the alleged rise of “AI agents”
“An agent's model of what you are interested in will be a cartoon model, and you will see a cartoon version of the world through the agent's eyes.”
