  3. Took my Rock Creek Creatures for a ride earlier.

    When I got home, I had to flash some #JupitersGhost Away Mission game cartridges, so I did a little photo shoot with #JG running on a couple of devices.

  4. Of course, that game is based on my podcast #JupitersGhost which is a CC-BY-SA shared universe podcast that can be found at intergalactic.computer among other places.

    The #JG universe is pretty big, and there's a lot of stuff in it, including our in universe wiki, two episodes of the podcast, and a cartoon!

    At some point there will be other episodes, and other podcasts. I'm confident of this.

    We're even working on a comic book. We'll see how it all goes.

  5. Alright. I just finished what I think is the final round of revisions on the #JupitersGhost #JG gameboy color game.

    I'm going to let it ruminate for a day or three and then upload it to itch and put the cartridges up for sale.

    Hooray.

  6. As I'm prepping for this, which I think is going to happen, I've been working on some of the other #JupitersGhost related things that need to get done.

    I have my #JG uniform finished, and I have a couple of basic Away Mission shorts I want to shoot.

    I need to get my biolog prop modeled up so I can print one out. A lightly painted PLA print should be sufficient as a screen held, non-hero prop.

    But, even before that, I could probably get a short done if I could find a good field to shoot in.

  7. Anyway, all of that is to say: The fact that Paramount controls what can and can't be #starTrek is why we need #communityMedia

    and it's why I started working on #JupitersGhost

    No one can tell you what to do with the #SolarFederation, not even me!

    Well, that's not entirely true. I can tell you one thing: whatever you do with the #JG universe you have to give back to the JG universe ( #CCBYSA)

    But, if you find yourself looking for a place to tell space stories, and you want to settle in to an existing universe rather than writing your own, take a look at intergalactic.computer/social

  8. (Instead of a V-Pet it's actually a #JG biolog. You carry it around with you and it picks up facts from your virtual environment, and shows you pictures of local alien plants and animals?)

  9. Alright! This is a demo of my soon to be released Jupiter's Ghost Game.

    ajroach42.neocities.org/game/

    If you are a fan of what we've done in the #JupitersGhost universe or if you've never heard of #JG but you like #GameBoy stuff, or maybe if you just like #scifi #games, give this a shot.

    Music in this version by tiptoptomcat.itch.io but music in subsequent versions will probably be by @DoctorDeathray if she has time to make some before I get too impatient and start making cartridges.

    I think it's feature complete. I think it's largely bug free (at least I've patched every bug that I know about!)

    There's still some missing dialog, but it'll be updated in a day or three.

    If you do play it and notice any major bugs, please let me know.
    The Big Bug that was causing the kernel panic should be gone.

    (JG, this game, and Music CC-BY-SA)

  10. HEY! If you're interested in doing a beta test of my unfinished Jupiter's Ghost game, shoot me a reply on this and I'll send you a link to the current beta.

    It is feature complete, but missing some dialog, has some incorrect dialog, and a couple of cut scenes. Beyond that, I think I've fixed the majority of the bugs.

    Most recently, there was a kernel panic bug. I haven't been able to reproduce it in the most recent build, but if you do please let me know how you did it!

  11. I haven't talked about it much because there are two dozen other things happening, but I've been chiseling away at teaching myself some animation techniques, and I really believe we'll have a full on #JG cartoon this year.

  12. @ajroach42
    Yay #JG !
    Of all your projects it's my favorite!

  13. I've started up a #JG gameboy game tonight.

    Just kind of idly playing with sprites and mechanics.

    I have the basic game mechanics implemented, I have enough character graphics and background tiles to start building the thing out.

    The hard part for the particular game is really down to the map design and layout. This is the real space for creative expression and where most of the meat of the gameplay will live.

    It's also where most of the art assets go! and that's a bit that I'm not particularly good at.

    But I'm reasonably confident that this will work, that I have most of the assets that I need, and that the finished game will be fun enough to justify making it.

    So that's fun.

    #jg
  14. Alright, time to talk about the #JG #tilde

    We're doing a lot of stuff with email right now, and I like that.

    I still need to get local IRC (and probably a matrix<->IRC bridge) or local Matrix and a CLI client set up.

    But I'm most interested in providing some tools for public and semi-public in character messages and planning.

    I'm tempted to do gotosocial, but that feels like A Lot and also The Wrong Thing.

    So now I'm trying to reason around a BBS that's written entirely in bash + dialog and works entirely on text files.

    I could probably put together a quick and dirty version in half an hour (but I'm rustier than I've been in years, so maybe that half an hour is actually four hours?

    and/but do I really want a quick and dirty version?)

  15. I'm kicking #jupitersGhost back off in earnest in several ways.

    1) video game due out sometime next year, details to come.

    2) hopefully, fully animated Cartoon series due out in late 25 or early 26. Details to come.

    3) exploring a live action television program in the #JG universe.

    4) doubling down on the original crowd sourced podcast, but with several improvements.

    This will be a short thread (and I'm on mobile and only typing in my down time, so it may take a while for it to get finished) about what we have done so far and what we will be doing in the future, and specifically about how you can join the space corps and make a home among the stars.

  16. If, in addition to that, I can manage any other toys, swell.

    I'd love to do the stuffed #JG Randross I mentioned a few posts ago, and some 3 3/4" #JupitersGhost toys before the show, but those will likely get pushed until later next year.

  17. But I'm not working a dayjob anymore. I'm spending more time than ever producing media.

    I would very much like to figure out how we can revisit that world (and #jg, but that's a different story in more ways than one.)

    I think there's room for an ongoing story here with contributions from across our community and across the web.

    I think that we now have the technical skills to pull off the things we had originally attempted to achieve.

    And we should have some more funding coming in to NETV soon.

    #jg
  18. We really need to rebuild GD/JG ongoing communication here. The bird place is dead, not much happening on the blogs.

    3/15, Phil's birthday. The man could play that bass guitar, but he can kiss my grits. How's that for a start?

  19. We've received some more material for the next episode of #JupitersGhost, this time from @tkadathran

    I also recorded and posted some stuff as @jandrews

    I'm expecting some material from @muscles and @tbite today, if I'm lucky.

    Maybe even a recording of chief engineer Birmingham Irish from @Username_Here_ASAP

    If you're interested in participating in #JG, our collaborative/crowd sourced/cc-by-sa licensed space adventure podcast now is the perfect time to join in.

  20. It turns out that episode 3 of #JG has been mostly finished for like 8 months.

    This year really kicked my ass.

    I have logs from Frequency 650, @egowjr, and @lmoonbeam

    I'm recording my parts for ( @jandrews ) this week, @Username_Here_ASAP will record Birmingham Irish this week.

    I'll leave a week for @tkadathran and @muscles and @tbite to get their logs in, and for anyone else who is interested to sign up/record something, and aim to have this episode out by Dec 15.

    Merry Christmas from Jupiter's Ghost.

  21. The original premise for #SpaceLARPCafe put it, more or less, in the Jupiter's Ghost universe (#jg #JupitersGhost).

    That is to say THE DISTANT FUTURE. A world inhabited by lots of aliens, with various factions vying for control on the edges of a crumbling intergalactic utopia.

    That could be a lot of fun. I think there are a lot of stories to tell in a universe like that!

    But it also means slotting this thing in to the periphery of a fairly established universe, which is very different from our own. That takes a lot of work to pull off visually. It would require super complicated sets for the physical elements of things, but it also requires pretty elaborate storytelling and onboarding for new players, and it makes the *game* part harder too.

    It didn't really occur to me until yesterday that I already had another option.

  26. Now it's Wildly optimistic to think that something like my little #jg podcast would get the kind of support that #starTrekNewVoyages got.

    But it is an entirely open scifi universe written by myself and my friend @Username_Here_ASAP and we'll have episodes out starting in q1 next year.

    (with assistance from @TaxDan and a little luck, maybe Early q1.)

  27. @wandy_dev Hmm, now I will need your jq in git bash :)

  28. @blackbulldog @maryeffrancis The MMT #JobGuarantee #jg #ujg #fjg #njg as an automatic stabilizer

    RT @[email protected]

    #MMT economists have been saying for decades that a #JobGuarantee is an automatic stabilizer. When the private sector is laying off millions of workers, the Federal government must step in as the employer of last resort.
