Wednesday Rants: January 2016 Edition
Greetings Fellow Reader! Welcome to the first round of ranting for 2016. I'm going to discuss a little of what will be on tap for this year.
[Splatterbomb™]
-Splatterbomb has reach a point where the end game is still being worked on. It's looking good so far, but it is going to take awhile longer than I expected. The card that are going to be part of the game is undergoing rewrites. Its coming off as a trading card game card rather than a board game card. So once I straighten that out, along with teh end game to decide a victor, it should be submission ready.
-Don't forget that Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme) is still available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Youtube, Catapult, and Bandcamp. Be sure to grab yourself a copy today.
-Splatterbomb t-shirts are still available on Spreadshirt.com, the next two characters this week will be the first human characters to be released. Also the lore that appears in the Spreadshirt descriptions will undergo an update later this year.
-The Splatterbomb Comic Book that I would like to write this year will just be an 8 Page short. I would like to have it ready by Free Comic Book Day in May, but its not feasible. Instead, I want to get it ready as free handouts at conventions and other events I may attend this year.
[Arcana Magi]
-So next week will be the conclusion of 'Arcana Magi Pure Vol.6'. I hop you all enjoyed this edition. I understand it may not be well written, but it was difficult navigating it between the conventions and real life issues. But I hoping that I can cover a few inconsistencies that I discovered looking back at the older Volumes. I am also hoping that I covered the Plot Hole regarding Rumiko in Chapter 4.
-Next up will be 'Arcana Magi Memorial Vol.6' in February. Since there isn't any convention season, I should be able to write better this go around. But real life right now is handing me a pie in the face and I have to keep that in focus. Get yourselves ready though, this is gonna be a big Volume.
-As for the 'Arcana Magi Rush' comic book, I have adapted the short story into a complete 3 issue series. However, I do have to re-write it thoroughly so it can be clean and legible for I when send it out for submission.
-I would like to make it my goal to go back to the older stories and give them a re-write to clean up the grammar and storytelling. I'm sure what I will do with that re-write, but stay tuned for any official announcements regarding this endeavor.
-Finally, that special game I announced was to be playtested this past weekend is an official 'Arcana Magi' deckbuilding card game. Deckbuilding card games are sort of like a Trading Card Game, like my game 'Cyber Tactics', but instead of building a deck from a collection of cards, the cards are already made available from the start and you pay in-game costs to add a card to your deck and build it up. Its a little hard to explain, but there are plenty of Youtube videos that cover this genre. I would recommend looking into Star Realms, Ascension and Dominion to get an idea of where I am going with 'Arcana Magi'. I do have an official title for the game, but I'll announce that at a later date. So with 6 years of of written material, I have enough to create an 'Arcana Magi' tabletop game.
So basically, overall, I am focusing on 'Splatterbomb™'and 'Arcana Magi' for the entirety of 2016. I have a lot stories to write, games to develop, and merchandise to sell through at Spreadshirt, Amazon, iTunes, and Comic Books. I look forward to all of your support and patronage. Please enjoy all of my works for 2016.
This is gonna be a fun year.
Until next time...
See ya.

Wednesday Rants: December 2015 Edition
Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to another round of, and last of 2015, the Wednesday Rants. Let's begin.
[Arcana Magi Pure Vol.6 - c.3]
The chapter is coming along fine, however, I am digging back a couple of volumes for continuity and I fear it may cause a delay Friday night. Stay tuned to Twitter for any schedule changes. I am pretty much trying to set up this Volume 6 for Volume 7 next year. I have not decided yet, but I may end Pure on Volume 7 for a total of 35 chapters. It's a long story but I do need to end this so I can move onto other stories I would like to write outside of 'Arcana Magi'. I will say, I fear it may end on a rush job if I do decide Volume 7 is the end, but I will make every bit an effort to make it worthwhile and exciting.
Next year in January, I will write Chapters 4 and 5 for 'Arcana Magi Pure' and move onto 'Arcana Magi Memorial Vol. 6' in February. 'Arcana Magi Zero' will not receive the 'Vol.' tag because the Short Stories already have that, so most it will have a letter or subtitle.
[Splatterbomb™]
Board game: The game has progressed along nicely, however I still have endgame issues. It's pretty much the only thing that stands in the way. No matter which I try, either as a 'race' or through 'scoring' the game ends with either Player 1 winning, or players quitting because they can't catch up. This week is another NYC-Playtest session so hopefully I'll have this ironed out.
Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme): Just a reminder that the official theme song is available on Spotify as well as Amazon and iTunes. You can also grab a copy at Bancamp. It's still there. If you want to see Splatterbomb characters, visit my Studio Coqui Youtube and see who's who in the game.
Spreadshirt: New shirts will pop up next year in January. I may start off with the Athlete character this time instead of the Enemies. Also, I will be working on updating the character lore since a lot has changed in the game, for now what is described of the characters is only temporary.
Future Plans: My next plan is to try to write an 8-Page Comic Book short. I have an idea of where to go to accomplish this. I'm not sure how soon I'll get the story out to pasture, but I would like to get it in development early next year and hopefully ready for distribution before the summer. What I want to do is offer free samples at conventions and events that Splatterbomb will appear in, just like how I hand out free 'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)'. What I might do is write either a world building story or just one competition, either way it will be to establish the look of the game itself.
[Year End Reflection]
This has got to be the most eventful year ever for me. I never in a million years would have thought this was the end result. I kind of went full circle where I got to demonstrate Splatterbomb at the NYC Arcade in Microsoft in Midtown Manhattan hosted by Brian Chung's The Sheep's Meow and end my year with that same even but at NYU Game Center. In between all of that, I went to as much NYC-Playtest sessions improving on Splatterbomb, The Hudson Arcade in Hoboken hosted again by The Sheep's Meow.
Splatterbomb's development evolved to the point that it became a video game on a board game. It worked but proved too much for the human mind to intake and caused information overload. I major strip down of the filler rules and Splatterbomb became and efficiently working game with only one thing standing in its way to the publishers.
Convention season was upon us, I had heavy playtesting done at Metatopia in Morristown, NJ and ran booth at Game-A-Con Festival in Atlantic City. I got to do some comic book networking at New York Comic-Con as well. I got to meet a lot of amazing artists, writers, and game developers. it was fun hanging out with all of them.
It was big year for 'Arcana Magi' as the 5th season ran longer than it should, but releasing all the short stories on Kindle was nice finish. Now 6th season is upon us, albeit slower than usual, but the stories are starting to reach their apex with season 7 next year.
So with that, I thank the following for 2015:
Thanks to NYC-Playtest for all the help in Splatterbomb's game development.
Thanks to all the playtesters at Metatopia for their input on Splatterbomb.
Thanks to the organizers at Game-A-Con Festival for a nice event and providing Splatterbomb a booth.
Thanks to all the people who started following me this year on Twitter. I started with a very small number this year and made it into the 60s.
Thanks to Brian Chung and The Sheep's Meow for all their "Arcade" events throughout the year.
Thanks to all the artists, writers, and game developers I met this year at all the conventions and event, and who are now following me on Twitter. We had fun times and look forward to seeing you guys again in upcoming event in 2016.
Most of all, Thanks to all the fans of Splatterbomb and especially 'Arcana Magi'. I know my grammar is not up to standards, but the fact that you all come back to read more gives that extra flavoring to all the stories.
[Schedule]
I will be taking an holiday vacation. You will not hear from me until January 4th with the first 'NEWS and NOTES' of 2016.
You all have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year.
Until 2016...
See ya.

Wednesday Rants: November 2015 Edition
Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to another round of random ranting.We're half way through convention season and a lot of stuff are on tap so let's get started.
[Splatterbomb™]
All right there is a lot to talk about so I'm gonna break them down as into bite sized morsels.
-Status: The board game has entered Beta Level now. I have the games victory condition finalized and established an Item Card Deck that will help the game assist players in achieving the end game without problems. In a sense, the game came back full circle from last year's 1st draft. It was a remarkable journey indeed. As of now, I went into Print and Play Admagic website, and was able to create a prototype fold-able game board. I gave it a full on playtest at Metatopia, more on that in a moment, and walk away with a stable and complete game. All that's left to clear out the optimization issue where Player 1 would always be the one to win the game, and balancing out the 30 card Item Deck.
-Metatopia: So Metatopia in Morristown, NJ was success. All the playtesters provided all the input and help I needed to straighten out Splatterbomb™. I would like to thank Metatopia for running the event. I wish I had everybody who participate in playtesting the board game so I could set up a thank you list.I wished I had thought of that over the weekend during playtesting. I really appreciated all they have done to make the game better and more focused.
-Gameacon Festival: So next stop is Gameacon Festival at the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. This will be my first ever Exhibitor Booth for Splatterbomb™. Its a little weird considering that I am looking for a publisher. What they offered was not what i had expected, but considering the opportunity presented to me by the organizers I really did not want to dismiss so casually. As soon as I get my booth number, I'll post it up on Twitter. I will be providing discount passes for 'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)' via Catapult. I will be exploring Discount passes for Spreadshirt, but I don't know if that would be possible, so don't get your expectations up. Unfortunately, Spreadshirt doesn't offer special bulk promotional amenities for me to take advantage of to create raffle drives. I would have to pay out of pocket to get the shirts and at this point, it will be too late to order them now to have on site.
-Spreadshirt: Speaking of Spreadshirt, I will be discontinuing the Spreadshirt and American Apparel brands of Splatterbomb T-Shirts and focus only on Gilden. Gilden is the cheapest price shirts at $13.00 by comparison. The change will happen this Friday. Also, this weeks characters will be Ashley and Guiey. Please check out the 'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)' Roster Video on my Studio Coqui Youtube Channel to get a sneak peek of them.
-New Roster Additions: So if any of you have watched 'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)' Roster Video, you most likely counted how many characters there are in the video. Well, thanks to the paytesters at Metatopia, that count increased by 9. There are now 9 new Items added to the roster bringing the overall total to 110 characters. I will not update the Roster Video, but I may create a separate video short introducing the nine new items. Because of these nine new Item Cards and changes made to their application, there will be a delay in added Items to the Spreadshirts because there are new categories listed for them outside of 'Item-Bonus' as labeled on the shirts. In the meantime I'll be focusing on releasing the artwork for the Athletes and Enemies that make up the bulk of the roster.
[Arcana Magi Universe]
I apologize for any slowness in the release of 'Arcana Magi' stories on Fictionaut. The convention season is very overwhelming and I need to maintain top priority on Splatterbomb™ in order to succeed. Most likely January, after the holidays is when I'll increase the frequency of releases. For now, it's just once a month. And yes, because of these schedules, the grammar may be off putting due to time constraints. But please bear with me. I thank you all for your patience.
That's all I have on my mind for the moment. I have a lot of work to do and get ready for. I'll see you all next week at Gameacon Festival.
Until next time...
See ya.
[Splatterbomb™]
All right there is a lot to talk about so I'm gonna break them down as into bite sized morsels.
-Status: The board game has entered Beta Level now. I have the games victory condition finalized and established an Item Card Deck that will help the game assist players in achieving the end game without problems. In a sense, the game came back full circle from last year's 1st draft. It was a remarkable journey indeed. As of now, I went into Print and Play Admagic website, and was able to create a prototype fold-able game board. I gave it a full on playtest at Metatopia, more on that in a moment, and walk away with a stable and complete game. All that's left to clear out the optimization issue where Player 1 would always be the one to win the game, and balancing out the 30 card Item Deck.

Wednesday Rants: October 2015 Edition
Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to another round of random ranting. It's a short one this month. Lot's of stuff to do. So let's get the ball started.
[Splatterbomb™ ]
So the board game nearing 100%. I finally got its footing and its working fine. I am looking at 15 to 45 minutes based on the number of players for a complete game.
There is going to more 'Splatterbomb™' prints on Spreadshirt. There will be a total of over 90 characters. I do want them to be featured in the board game but I have to wait until I can get the running very smoothly.
'Peanut Butter Jelly (Splatterbomb™ Theme)' coming out this week on Youtube will feature images of all the 'Splatterbomb™' characters. So you will get a chance to see them all.
[Arcana Magi Universe]
Due to this and next months insane scheduling, 'Arcana Magi Universe' will be posted once per month until December. I can explain why that is in the next section. I have yet to decide what I'm goind to start off with, but what I can say is that I will be posting 3 'Arcana Magi' Stories this season.
[Conventions]
In Novemeber, I will be attending Gameacon at the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City, NJ, and I awaiting on approval for Metatopia in Morristown, NJ. Splatterbomb™ will be showcased at both events. As to what I will bring in terms of amenities, that will be determined. However, Splatterbomb™ will be available for gameplay.
[New York Comic Con]
New York Comic Con came and went. It was a fun time, I went to plenty of workshops and meetups for business purposes, and I came out satisfied. I will be making a return next year.
That's all for the Rants this month. It is extremely busy and I have a lot of work to do.
Until Next Time...
See ya.
