Series Wiki: A Wiki for Your Fiction Series or, A Mildly Terrifying First Package Release

My first PHP package, released as a v0.1.0 - lots more to come!

Tomorrow, for Valentines Day, I dive into what turned out to be the very serious topic of trope-turned-reality of AI Relationships.

Check it out on SciFi Camp; scificamp.substack.com

Republic Ascendant — Chapter Ten Book two in the Empirefall Chronicles follows the story of the fall of the Rew Confederacy and the rise of the Rogers Republic.

Chapter 10 has finally been released. If you've been enjoying the story so far; please like, leave a comment, or subscribe. It really helps keep me motivated to keep writing and not have six week absences. #SciFriday #StellarEmpire

@thepwhl.com the Fox Valley Ice Arena in Geneva, IL is losing its USHL club (Chicago Steel) to the Blackhawks training arena… just putting out there I’d love to have a women’s hockey team in Chicagoland, and there’s an arena open now… 🫣😅😆

Merry Christmas!

Cold Lantern: Chapter I Welcome to Cold Lantern. We open with the After Action Report regarding this incident. Chapter I is available now, with an early edition of Chapter II for subscribers.

Now that the Chiefs have lost football, Swifties should start rooting for the Chicago Bears 🐻 we have our own amazing Swift! #PlayasGunnaPlay

Republic Ascendant — Chapter Nine Book two in the Empirefall Chronicles follows the story of the fall of the Rew Confederacy and the rise of the Rogers Republic.

I’m finally back on the SciFriday wagon. Chapter 9 was an incredibly hard one to write, it’ll change a couple times more before the final publish.

Please consider giving it a read & dropping in some feedback. The only way I get better is by learning from my audience!

@nativephp.com is there any GameCenter/Google Play Games API’s in the works. I know you announced the Mobile Plugins and I could try to glue Swift/Kotlin into a GameCenter PHP class … but … uhh … I’m seriously hoping you guys have something in the works 🫣

Well, even at its worst, I enjoyed Tron more than at least a couple of the movies they featured in this set.

70 years of Disney, and once again, The Rocketeer and Tron get snubbed…

I’ve been watching Dashcam/Bodycam videos at night to fall asleep… and I’m starting to wonder if the “Ohio man” is the new “Florida man” — because they’re crazy ya’ll…

Which one was me? 🫣

This was such a fun chapter to write. Taking a break from the war to visit Declanian home life was something I really wanted to do and combining it with Kele’s dismissal was perfect timing for it.

Check it out, and let me know what you think!

2 - 2 Full Time for Arsenal … so close, so close! @arsenalfc.bsky.social

I design a lot of card/board games that are small and compact (mainly due to production costs), but now you got me thinking about designing a contraction using the base game. We'll see what I come up with... 😂

The best thing about starting a new month? Putting in a new pair of contacts…

@pronskiy.bsky.social I started trying out Junie after we talked at Laracon. I still feel like it struggles some, but I’ll keep trying it. I signed up for the paid one after all so I might as well, ha ha.

That's kind of what the trend of Duel games are, right? I actually just made a big list of them on a post I did on Substack, which is what got me thinking ... what about a Twilight Imperium Duel game? 😂

I need to look around Bluesky more, I was wondering if @jetbrains.com was here -- they are. And if @pronskiy.bsky.social is here -- he is. This is starting to really feel like the Twitter replacement I wanted it to be.

Wilderness Dice Duel How taking one of my most popular games back to the drawing board has been a rejuvenating spark for its brand.

It's my birthday, so we're soft announcing our plans to release Wilderness Dice Duel as a follow up to our Wilderness Dice game.

You can read more about the game, our reasoning behind it, and our potential crowd-funding campaign for it. Available on my Substack:

ICYMI, over the last 3 weeks I covered the "Camp" in SciFi Camp, along with how 'Camp' turns into 'Cult' classics. Wednesday I finished off with 'Cult' turning into 'Cheese'. Give all three a read, and subscribe if you love SciFi or you like the cut of my jib.

If you like Science Fiction and Short Stories, I have one going live at noon. This was kinda a last-minute decision to write this yesterday as an apology to our subscribers for missing SciFriday on Substack.

Do you think they have a water shortage!? 😂🤣😂

We're a third of the way through our planned chapters! We're working hard to keep the weekly pace.

Tintin; The Black Island and King Ottokar's Scepter were my favorites.

Let me know if you like these kinds of posts, and I can do more dives into our creative process and what it looks like to not only build games, but a universe as well.
