Wedneday Rants: April 2015 Edition
Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to the April Edition of Wednesday Rants. I got some extremely important news to talk about so let us begin.
[Posting my Stories on Fictionaut]
There are conversations going on between Fictionaut Members and the people in running the website. The conversation grew could in the Forum but is going in Facebook.
http://fictionaut.com/forums/general/threads/3368
There appears to be some decisions that could be made in the future, and chances are I may not agree with it. If I do not like the direction Fictionaut goes, I may walk and leave the site. That means I will also take all of my works on Fictionaut. If should I find myself leaving Fictionaut, I have no intention of looking for another website to post any of my stories on. I know there are many websites, even some decent ones that could cater to posting stories on the internet, but I really do not want to go through the whole process of re-posting 5 years worth of stories. This is NOT laziness, its that many things have happened since I joined Fictionaut from pursuing Comic Book Companies to developing Tabletop Games, I do not have the energy to go through all that posting.
I don't know what I will do with all that work, maybe focus on turning some of them into Comic Books scripts like I did with 'Arcana Magi Rush', but it is still very very early right now with Fictionauts situation.
Nothing may even happen, but I felt that I should mention this now, right now, so that if any changes happen at Fictionaut occur and I make the choice to leave, that decision will not spring up on all of you all of sudden. You already know the situation. I hope I can stay on Fictionaut longer, this is a great pace.
[Arcana Magi]
'Arcana Magi Memorial Vol. 5-c.5' is coming to an end next week. I hope all of you enjoyed Azure's latest adventure. Next month on 'Arcana Magi's 5th Anniversary' will be 'Arcana Magi Pure Vol. 5'. I expect the 5th Anniversary season to end around June, Fictionaut notwithstanding. So please continue to enjoy the universe.
[Swap Off]
The game coming along fine. There isn't much to say at this time, but I do want to point out that my target audience is for families. I hope that I have accomplish that level. The characters I am using are family characters, mom, dad, children, grandparents, and so on. I did the artwork for the characters though I am unsure if they will be used in the final product. Swap Off is officially a card game for 2 - 4 Players. Protoyping will resume next month.
[Splatterbomb™]
Rather than playtesing Splatterbomb™ this month, I decided to hold a roundtable discussion to get advice and help on the games direction and game mechanics. Thanks to NYC-Playtest.com, I have made decisions on where to focus the game at and its theme. Officially, I will be theming the game around Video Arcades. Here is an example via 'classicgamevideos' Channel on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mMJio2MO6w
I am targeting a 2-5 player, asymmetrical style, tactical game. The story and world building is set, I have the characters drawn out, and the artistic and aesthetics are leaning towards what you would see on an Arcade Machine. There are still some game mechanics that I need to test out before making any omissions, this will happen at Next Months NYC-Playtest on May 2.
[Free Spring Day]
Just a heads up this Friday April 17 is 'Free Spring Day'. 'Shell' on Kindle and Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme) on Bandcamp will both be free for 24 hours. This is your chance to scoop both on a single day. Please enjoy.

That's all I have on my mind for now. Thank you all for listening to my rants.
Until Next Time...
