In Surfpunk, 🔹EVRESS🔹 is a magical, renewable energy source which can be harnessed to power technology and even cast spells.
It has become the most coveted resource and is only found in the ruins of the Fallen World. 🌴

Playing D&D tonight 😁 thought I might share a bit more about Esdras. Our two Dwarf kingdoms are a few hundred miles apart. Dissident Dwarves left Uthor Batein long ago and founded Uthor Karzen in a mountain range much closer to the Human settlements and to the Elven Kingdom.

We recently prototyped a system for randomly occuring challenges in our levels in Surfpunk. As players progress in challenges, the gauge fills up and the reward spawns from the trapdoor. What challenge would you propose? Now taking suggestions.

Behold, the World of Esdras!
The longest-running homebrew world I ever ran as a DM. And because I’m a professionally biased #gamedev, it has gone through a never ending iteration process. See how it looked in 2014 😂

Something I often do for #battlemaps and #fantasymaps in my games is adapting something inspiring that someone shares instead of creating from scratch.
For instance my city of Protidia needed to be quite big, so I started from this great map from Wisened_Cascadian on #inkarnate and modded. #dnd

Throwback to the year 2000.
Heroes of Might & Magic 3 will always remind me of symphonic metal like Therion and Nightwish because I had found out that the game’s bgm were mp3s in the game data, so I could substitute in my fav mp3s by naming them exactly like the game’s 😁🤘

The Boss Room of the last #dungeon I ran in #dnd. It's the central tower of a large palace (so all roads led to it). The device in the center hung from the ceiling, accumulating charges for each level of spell that was cast during combat, sending a meteor down every 10 charges.

Today I was introducing my son to Twilight Imperium 😅
We used the 2-players community variant called ‘Princess’, look it up it’s surprisingly decent. It’s lighter than the real deal, but great for learning the game.

First published #videogame I was credited on (as level designer) is ‘Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus’ back in 2010
It was a rudimendary first person shooter for first gen smart phones, but it worked!
Does anyone remember playing that?

Fun fact: my inspiration for naming ´Mages of Mystralia’ came from a long-running #dnd campaign in my friend’s homebrew world. Mystralia was a recluse kingdom where magic was frowned upon. For the videogame, I had help from Ed Greenwood to flesh it out more 😅

I wonder if Olan Rogers has a Bsky accnt?
I don’t know why, this week I thought about Final Space - the best animated #sci-fi show I’ve seen. Poignant, funny, exciting.
The series cancellation was so painfully relatable. I too have a projet I refuse to let go💔
Hang on to your dream projects folks!

One of the more memorable dungeons of my last #d&d campaign. An ancient hideout of shadow god cultists accidentally uncovered in the deepest levels of a mine at Anor-Bātim.
With multiple secret areas and environmental challenges :)

Déformation professionnelle: I’ve always been a fan of games that have a built-in level editor, esp those 3:
Excitebike: my first experience designing levels at age 10 triggered something in me
Portal 2: back then I’d just started my career in games
Mario Maker: made me admire nintendo even more
