Wednesday Rants: May 2015 Edition

Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to another to Wednesday Rants. Summer is around the corner and there are a lot of things on my mind.

[Arcana Magi Universe 5th Anniversary]

Well last Friday was the start of Volume 5 of the 'Pure' series. I was little worried given the last couple of Volumes. There are a lot of characters of course, but I feel confident that I got everything reigned in and I should be able to deliver a good Volume 5 this season. I do have to more stories planned. They're shorts, so I believe that the season will end in July. We'll see what happens, but in hindsight, I should have done the Shorts first then 'Pure' last.

[Splatterbomb™]

Now that I got life changes setteled down, I should be able to attend next months NYC-Playtest group and bring in 'Splatterbomb™'. During this time period, I made the game boards look more like an actual arcade screen, more or less. Just look at arcade games like 'Dig Dug' and 'Pac-Man' and that is kind of the game boards would look like. I intend to make it emulate the arcade experience, hopefully in both look and gameplay.

I am looking into iTunes to see if I can get 'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)' there. Real life held me back from posting it on there, but now I think I can finally release it there, and none too soon.

Also I am exploring the possibility of signing onto 'Spreadshirt.com' to expand on merchandising 'Splatterbomb™'. I have drawn the official mascot and will use it as a t-shirt print. I'll probably also use 'Splatterbomb™' drawing title as well. But keep in mind this is just exploration research, there is no set timetable or final plans to make official 'Splatterbomb™' T-Shirts.

[New York Comic Con]

Tickets are on sale. I'm going to try again to see if I can get autograph. As always it is not guaranteed since again there are big stars there an they get top priority, but it doesn't hurt to try out.

[Kindle]

There will be a Kindle publishing this Summer. Probably sooner. I have not decided yet if I want to release 'Arcana Magi' again. Maybe compile all the short stories together, including 'Zero' trilogy even though I release it last year, or just do another 3 Short Set. Stay tuned for decisions.

[Swap Off]

When I decided to develop 'Swap Off', it was due to 'Splatterbomb™' needing time to ferment, because it was all over the place. The past few months I was able to finally get the game focused, including some artwork. While I'll need to do need playtest 'Splatterbomb™', I have decided set 'Swap Off' to the side so I can now push 'Splatterbomb™' forward. I thank all whom have playtested 'Swap Off' and appreciate all input.

That is all I have for now on my mind. There is a lot happening around me in real life, so I am in the middle of a regaining focus, both in mind and spirit. 'Arcana Magi Pure Vol. 5 c.2' is next Friday. Head over to Facebook for date and time. This Friday is Free 'Shell' Friday on Kindle.
