Output from a color ASCII map generator I did for fun a couple years ago. Meant to generate retro-style maps fotpost apocalyptic campaigns. The look is vaguely similar to the big insert map from the 2nd and 3rd edition Gamma World boxed sets.
Project idea. "100 Level Dungeon" a massive and fun Old School TTRPG MEGADUNGEON. 100 levels deep and supporting level and class style play up to level 100. I've been toying with the idea for a while and thinking of moving forward on it. Bad idea? Good idea? Why not in any case?
Vectorizing a circuit dungeon map (which generates bit map graphics) is proving to be time consuming. Might have to rework the code so the program generates a vector image or maybe embrace the bitmap?
finished breakfast and did a but of tinkering with a program I made a while back based on a much older program. Circuitboard graphic repurposed as dungeon generation for a computer game or TTRPG.
He is committing assault and battery at multiple points in that video clip. Isn't he? When is his arrest?
An attempt to translate the Magnoquill Driftflare Quiverbloom to QB64 from a programming/scripting language I am not familiar with. It's not 100% successful but it looks interesting.
Swordswoman of Tékumel. An in-progress series of a piece of genre/gaming art.
Rocker Gal. I haven't done a piece like this in ages. I used to take images of models from fashion and rock magazines and apply classic format dot, line and screen patterns as opposed to using color to create a finished image. Here the subject is becoming one with the lights and music.
Is anyone really surprised at all?
In progress piece "Future Chase" very early on but enough to share.
A sci-fi piece I did yesterday. A Dralasite and his human buddy for the Star Frontiers setting in the old TSR game by that name.
Piece of Fantasy art. Just vectors for now with no painting or shading yet.
Bugbear Lurking Behind a Pillar. Here's a multi-step Illustration from line work to finishing up the piece.
Under 12 hour personal coding challenge. Graphics work (some of the graphics were pre-existing made for public use by a third party) and coding. youtu.be/yy9vUhDp1lk?...
Experimenting with video projects. This was off the cuff and spontaneous with a little bit of editing. A brief "how to" demo for programming in QB64. Just making it made me relearn a few things about microphones and keyboard noise. youtu.be/nHbUsXhzsjQ?...
As a companion to my last post. What a project looks like before the graphics are added: youtu.be/TdpYGPMs-HQ?...
So just for fun I thought I'd write a simple little game with old fashioned monotone graphics. Just sorting the graphics out to include has become a project of it's own. I have to write a program to collect the little graphics and put some of them on a reference sheet for further consideration.
Big Sprites to squash the little ones. Greater Elementals and Winterdeath in scale with one of my Gnome Warriors.
This breaks the executive branch.
Surely someone cleverer than I knows this. But I've seen no mention of this in the press and nothing from thousands of talking heads on social media.
Just because the President says it, it doesn't' mean it's true or legally binding.
They are either allies or blinded by the illusion of power and imagining what THEY could do when THEY have the upper hand.
I checked all my maps, books, and globes they still say "Gulf of Mexico".
Not once had any of them changed to "The Gulf renamed by a guy with Yeti pubes and a member like the mushroom character in Mario Kart".
Don't agree with all of it but yes... get busy. There are decades of plotting that have to be caught up with.
I contend they do in fact know what they are doing. None of the reaction or consequences are an accident.
It is amazing how few dungeons have a lavatory or a chamber pot. I must admit to having piles of dug here and there in my dungeons that clever PCs could use to figure out whom was eating what nearby or that they had come to a border. But I don't think I have a dedicated map symbol for them.
If you think this isn't funny you need to play more chess.
I do recall reading somewhere that at the start of the American Revolution against the U.K. 25% were pro-independence, 25% loyalist , and 50% just not giving a darn. How do we engage the unengaged without things having to get much worse?
Here on the other side of the planet I'm sitting in my 15 degree parlor and it may get as warm as 1 outside today. (59 and 33 respectively for my fellow Armericans).
Apply your sunscreen!
Remember kids it's not socialism when Republicans are getting checks.
