Related to my previous post on Nebulous Fleet Command (store.steampowered.com/app/887570/N...), just wanted to shout out
@papapandamonium.bsky.social for his frankly fantastic concept on the game which then got translated into some of the best looking ships I've ever seen in scifi

I posted about my friend's @just-write-studios.itch.io 's horror game last time. This time I want to shout out Nebulous Fleet Command, a game I've been a great fan of since 2021. It's a scifi space sim on sale for 10 more hours so if you're interested...

... I meant "conscientious" pardon the english fail.

I've been playtesting for this game and I think it's been an utter blast! @armchairhistorian.bsky.social has been a great director and his team have been responsive and contentious. Can't wait to get it on release!

Day 3 "Free Friday"

I really liked this concept cover by my artist (www.artstation.com/quietvictories) but decided not to use it because it was too peaceful. My book had far more action than the cover implied!

Day 28 What stage is your WIP in?

So "A Fractured Song" has 3 books out of the 6 out which you can find here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0DDJ5LTZW.

I'm working hard on editing book 4 right now, which is on Frances defending a city!

Wait the walls are made from solid marble? Damn thats an engineering feat!

Congrats on this milestone!

And for some reason ppl keep saying to me “oh use ai. it’s more practical/better or efficient.”

I find keeping a good network of ppl you can commission art from and get feedback from far more practical

And for some reason ppl keep saying to me “oh use ai. it’s more practical/better or efficient.”

Re this: Many authors and cover artists will block ppl who use ai. I’m pretty sure that if i wanted to go genai for cover art I’d lose all of my community of friends, peers and acquaintances i write and art with. So aside for the many moral grounds, there‘s a very practical reason for rejecting ai

Belated Day 26 Free Friday or share something you’re looking forward to.

I’m looking forward to sleeping in to be honest. I tend to write or think about writing in the late evening which is when I have some time alone but it means I sleep late.

Honestly I’m not sure. what I’ve heard is because the publisher can’t control all your works you might not be able to get an agent for a book in the same series

But that’s just what I heard mind you

@just-write-studios.itch.io is a good friend of mine and working on horrifyingly delightful visual novel that she's fought tooth and nail to get to this point. I strongly encourage peopel to check out the demo at just-write-studios.itch.io/catalyst-bli...

Hell yeah! If you want my two cents, bring a big tough shopping bag because you'll need it, or a backpack where you can store the books you're carrying!

Part 5 (Last part) the inspiration for this song magic was honestly @garthnix.bsky.social 's "The Old Kingdom" series where bells are used as a focal point. I love that series, you should read it and hell read it before you read my books lol

Part 4 Most mages in Durannon thus have... specializations where they have spells/elements they like to use. Eg. Frances mentor Edana is nicknamed "Firehand" because she is an incredibly powerful flame mage, best known for a spell called "Forest's Lament." that forest hasn't grown back in 20 years.

part 3(pardon for length)
So I did this thing where I themed Frances magic around lightning. B/c she came from our world, Frances knows about how lightning is formed and that understanding helps her, along with singing, to cast a really strong lightning spell that becomes her signature

Part 2: Words of Power (which are magic based words from a dead language) are more expedient and generally faster to use.

But the one thing that only legendary figures have used is "True song" magic where you combine Words of Power with Song, and... well any attempt to do that has backfired

Part 1. So in the world of Durannon (where Frances ended up after she was transported to a fantasy world). There are two magics. Song magic using just singing without specific words or lyrics and "Words of Power." Song magic is often done by very strong capable mages

Well... to be honest I submitted b/c of the loss of kindle unlimited revenue would hurt my limited reach even further.

I still hate Amazon and complain incessently but they kind of have me in a chokehold.

#fantasies Indies september list of 30 prompts

Day 25 - What would be your MC's favorite subject in school?

Frances my MC from "A Fractured Song" is a total nerd, but while she'd like history and physics, her favorite subject is music. Singing is after all the way to channel magic in my world

Day 24 ”Interesting fact from your IP world‘s history.”

So ”A Fractured Song” is an isekai, aka kids got transported to another world story. This isn’t the 4th time this has happened and so one side feels they get oppressed when they get overpowered heroes summoned against them

They're toxically repressed? XD

Day 21 - Pass on some Author Wisdom
Your personal health is probably more important than your writing because you can't write if you're not healthy or in a good place. So take care of yourself FIRST and don't stress too hard about not writing.
