Wednesday Rants: June 2015 Edition

Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to the June Edition of ranting. There is a lot on my mind this month so let's begin.

[Arcana Magi 5th Anniversary]

This is the final month of 'Arcana Magi's' 5th Anniversary. And what a journey this has been, starting back in October 2014. This week and next week will be last to chapter of 'Pure' for the year, and I will cap the anniversary off with the Kindle release of 'Arcana Magi Universe Short Collection', featuring all the short stories released on Fictionaut and two new unreleased Shorts 'Arcana Magi Bolt' and 'Arcana Magi Wisp'.

To address the Kindle release, this is mainly a financial decision. I need to make income and releasing a collection of works that can be viewed on Fictionaut is counterproductive. I'm not exactly financial stable here in the real world and I need to garnish money in some way. This world we live is unforgiving and not perfect. It was forgiving and perfect, releasing for free would be a given, but if I want progress my life, I have to make tough decisions for all of my works. I know I don't have to explain myself to anybody, but I want to do this as a courtesy and for understanding. So please help support 'Arcana Magi', and buy a copy of the short collection at the end of this month. I will keep 'Tales from Arcana Magi' on Kindle, so you have choices.

[Splatterbomb™]

First off, the NYC-Playtest was great as usual. The game has improved from its previous draft and is getting stronger. The core mechanics are still stable and the bolts getting closer to tightening.

Now to expand on this, I am now making moves for merchandising. I cannot disclose at this time like I would have wanted to, but nothing is set in stone yet. What I can say is that I have over 40 individual drawings of Splatterbomb™ registered in the Copyright Office and these drawings will make up the merchandising.

I am looking at creating laminated prints of the drawings to sell. I'm not sure which channel I will be using to sell them but that is one confirmed method. If should my registration to the NYC Arcade hosted by The Sheep's Meow go through, those prints will be available for viewing at my table.

Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme) is making the move to iTunes, however there are still a few things that need to be cleared up before they appear in the store. I set the target date for Sunday, June 14, but I cannot declare it official until the song passes through the lot check. Once it is in the stores I have selected I will make a 'Quick NOTES' and list where you can get a copy. Stay tuned to Twitter.

I am also going to write a 'Splatterbomb™' story for release on Kindle. Please stay tuned for more details.


Finally, a reminder, since I placed the first official 'Splatterbomb™' merchandise, 'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)' on Bandcamp, a commercial company where I receive profits, as per the guidelines laid out the United States Patent and Trademark Office of Arlington, VA, I, H-M Brown, am the owner of the Trademark Splatterbomb both standard font mark and drawing mark, under common law. Any usage of the word 'Splatterbomb™' without the express written consent of H-M Brown is strictly prohibited.

[Special Thanks]

I would to give a special thanks to the fine folks at FJB Comics and Games at 17 Coles Street in Jersey City for hosting the 'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)' Spring Sale. I really appreciate their support. Check them out on Facebook at:

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.

[Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)]

Don't forge, you have until May 31 to head on over to FJB Comics and Games at 17 Coles Street Jersey City, NJ for 25% discount on 'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)'. Check out FJB Comic and Games Facebook page for all the latest releases from your favorite comic books and video game companies.

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.

Thank you all for listening to my rants.

Until Next Time...

See ya.

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.

Also be sure to check out Alyssa Menes Music Composer for 'Peanut Butter Jelly' at:

http://portfolio.acmenesmusic.com/


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

Until Next Time...

See ya...

Wednesday Rants: March 2015 Edition

Greetings Fellow Readers! Sorry for the lateness, welcome to the March Edition of Ranting. There are handful of stuff I need to talk about so let's begin.

[Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme) Sale]

There are Discount Coupons made and currently available at FJB Comics and Game Store at 17 Coles Street Jersey City, NJ. Swing on by the shop and you'll find them in a Wooden Business Card Holder. The Discount expires May 31, 2015.

Link: https://www.facebook.com/FJBComics

So head on over grab yourself one.

[Splatterbomb]

I'll come out and say it, 'Splatterbomb™' got big. After successfully breaking the optimization the game was experiencing , it resulting in an increase of size. I have to deal with balancing issues and since NYC-Playtest group is the only group in the region I can go to with ease and available, I am expecting a lot of months to deal with this new stage of development. See at NYC-Playtest, I only get to playtest 'Splatterbomb™' once, which means I don't get to see all of the new game elements that I have added, then I have to wait until next month for another chance. My finances are still tight, so going to far away places is still unattainable. 

So I have to shift development at this time, because I want to get a game in the hands of publishers as soon as possible. Also, because 'Splatterbomb™' got big, I am unsure if I can convince a publisher to pick up 'Splatterbomb™' since I have publishing credibility to back me up. Being untested and unproven may make publisher hesitate to invest on a large scale game. This does not mean i dropping 'Splatterbomb™', the development is continuing but it is not top priority. It's still going to make rounds at event and stuff, but it is not the end goal at this time.

But the following game will be...

[Swap Off]

'Swap Off' is small card game I built last week. It is the smallest game I have built thus far and has the potential to entice Publishers to invest in it if they are interested. I have to get the game through Playtesting which will be happening soon. 'Swap Off' is going to take top priority because it is so small. The rules themselves are only a single, that is how small the game is. I already did the artwork for the characters and I am hoping that I won't spend so many months playtesting it and that I won't have to face any type of balancing issues. I pray that I can submit this by June-July the latest. I'm looking at 60% of my time spent on this game. Because this is so small, I am looking at other Publishing places such TheGameCrafter.com, though given my status as a developer, I will probably be more focused on finding a professional Publishing Company so I can start up a portfolio.

[Comic Books]

This week I have been dealing with my comic books, I wanted to more on 'Arcana Magi Rush' so I can submit to a publisher, but I expanded on another comic book which originally was supposed to be just an 8 Page short, it turned into a full One-Shot issue, twice. I was able to break them down into short, but the way I wrote it gave me flexibility to submit as a full comic instead of a short. I am going to stay on top of this and get 'Arcana Magi Rush' done so I can submit.

[Arcana Magi]

Speaking of which, 'Arcana Magi Memorial Vol. 5 c.4' is going to be next Friday as Scheduled. Though looking at the last chapter, I felt I didn't put enough meat into the writing. It's all dialogue. I don't if its good or not, but I personally felt I should have done better. So with the set up in c.3 that I establish, I hope I can put in the meat of narrative to build up a nice tense situation.

I think that is all I got for now. Thank you for hearing me Ranting. Again I apologize for being late. I'll see you on Fictionaut next week.

Until Next Time...

See ya.
