Greetings, Blue Sky!

My name is JCB. I'm an artist, animator, and game designer from South Africa!

I am currently working on a forest depthcrawl for Cairn, called Downrooted, and an as yet unannounced low-fi space adventure game.

Downrooted, my Cairn 2e forest depthcrawl adventure, has a new cover! I am extremely happy with how this book is coming along. What started as a flawed and overly ambitious game jam submission 3 years ago is turning into an 80+ page book I'll eventually get to hold in my hands.

Does anyone know how to properly scan or photograph a painting?

It's almost done! Just a few details.

Please, I don't wish to catch whatever you have.

I really enjoyed the short demo. I've slowly discovered that I really like the genre of pilot-a-vehicle-with-ropey-controls-to-do-survival-or-puzzle-things-at-different-locations. Such as Pacific Drive and Outer Wilds.
It’s easy to get disoriented in the fog - make sure you follow the red lights 🛩️🚨

This is a really neat idea and one I think could be modified for TTRPG combat as well. I generally don't like to get as fiddly with combat in my group games, but I can see this adding interesting nuance to a solo system.

If you just want to some progress images, here you go. These show off the new layout, forest section page borders, and creature art. Red areas are placeholder for future artwork.

We need a new word for the level of sublime vindication you feel when your skepticism or rejection of the latest tech bro fad/scam is proven right. That feeling for AI is going to be incredible. More so than crypto or NFTs.

I got a chance to sit on the coast and paint for 2 hours. I didn't realise how much I missed doing that. Modern life really takes a lot from you.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.
