The flowers are blooming, the snow is slushifying, and Plien April begins!
I’m deep in the snow slush developing ULTRA (trail running Mario kart) so been a bit quiet on socials (only like 0-2 posts a week right?) but I’m progressing slowly on rigging characters, creating awesome movement tech, and researching flora for accurate running trails.
Speaking of snow, I’ll be circling back to Murder of King Mere next week to fix some bugs, typos, and work on a new update.
And in other news, been working on some contracts on the side.
Not committing to a full Plien April just yet because I’m not sure if I have time, but would be lovely to draw outside everyday.
Thanks for reading :)

I’ve been playing , loot goblining with friends on Tau Ceti, so decided to make my favorite shell enjoying a nice cup of tea.
I genuinely love the art direction of this game, and it’s been a huge inspiration for the pre production of ULTRA.
This painting is a apart of my daily art challenge, mARTch, where I try to make a little painting / drawing everyday :)

Concept art for my next game- ULTRA.
These are the Spires.
When the world fell to the flames of greed and fear, humanity fell with it.
Societal and environmental collapse, destruction, death.
But the Robots found a way out: a way to ascend the bounds the mortal coil humanity ensnared them to. The Robot built the Spires, collectively known as the Ascendancy.
Some now call them the “Creation of Adam” named after a long lost Fresco. Others call them GOD, yet others call them Fangs.
Regardless what they are called, The Ascendancy rules. The Ascendancy knows all. The Ascendency hosts the ULTRA.
day 7
This past week I’ve been working on my next game, ULTRA, so been a bit quiet.
I’ve only been hinting at it, but I am ramping up to share more: the last week I managed to get a full peer-to-peer multiplayer setup in addition to LAN. ULTRA will be much more of a party game, but also will be steeped with the story that many players enjoyed with Murder of King Mere.
All I will say at this point/ ULTRA literally refers to the activity of running ultras. Think silly-philosophical gorp-core Mario kart, with aesthetics inspired by Bungie’s Marathon and running sneakers.
You can support me developing ULTRA by checking out Murder of King Mere :)
Also, on Darkway: once I get my current contracts finished up, will be shifting to spending more time finishing the Darkway book (currently 35k words), and graphic novel.
We are currently at a sell rate THAT PAYS THE RENT. So please, put up with my further MOKM content 🙏🙏
