ANOVERSE BOOK PRE-ORDERS BEGIN APRIL 15TH !!!

Get ready, mark the date, in one week you will finally be able to order the first ever AnoVerse book - "AnoVerse: Illumai Manor Party" - for £11.99 on https://ko-fi.com/justdaniel_eh !!

This doesn't mean the book is secured yet - we still need at LEAST 10 pre-orders to make this a reality... so if you'd like to know more and help support this project, there's more information below.

What You Get 📦

For £11.99 you get a signed copy of the book, an early copy of the E-Book version (PDF download), and a personal thank you note from yours truly.

If you also have a Discord account and join the "AnoVerse & More - Official Discord Server", you can claim the "Early Traveller" role to show off your status as an early supporter of the project! More on the server later though.

HOWEVER, that's not all !! We also have...

Pre-Order Bonus Goals 📈

That's right! At the moment there is two pre-order bonus goals that add additional items - at no extra cost - to your purchase!

At 25 orders, you will also recieve an AnoVerse: Illumai Manor Party themed bookmark to use with your book - or any book. Keep track of where you were, or use it to save moments you like! The bookmark is double sided with art for both sides of the story we follow.

At 50 orders, you will also recieve an A3 poster of the book's cover art! Display the key art of the night of Faremont's biggest party up on your wall, or wherever you may like.

I have so many more fun little merchandise things I'd LOVE to do for AnoVerse, but only can with YOUR support. So... how can you support the project?

How To Support AnoVerse 💫

Pre-orders will run from April 15th until May 31st, and I can only make these a reality if we hit AT LEAST 10 ORDERS, so if you want this book get sharing, get talking. There will be lots more marketing after pre-orders begin too, but the more chatter the better!

To help that chatter - an online preview of the first finished chapter of the book will be released on April 15th as well, the same day pre-orders begin!

Alongside that, there's also a new official Discord server for AnoVerse, Welcome to The Joyscape, and more! This server will act as a place to gather people who enjoy the book, want to see more, and what to regularly chat in a fun environment. We'll be hosting events, playing games, and more all throughout the coming months. The server will also be the first to hear about project updates, get new information, potentially discount codes, and more...

So invite your friends and get comfy - the server will be opening up to the public this Friday in preperation for the books release!

Thank You

When all's said and done though, I have one last thing to say to you all. Thank you.

Whether you choose to support the project or not, I'm forever grateful for those who follow me and see what I post. It's weird to have something to properly release finally and I hope this snowballs into something bigger than any of us could ever imagine... so again, thank you ❤️

I'll see you all again soon 💫

The anonverse, where a bunch of anons hang around and cause/participate in havoc :3

There was silence.

They waited and waited.

Until someone finally came.

There’s a “doll”.

What will you do?

Hi Trapped Towers followers sorry for radio silence TT hasn't been on the brain

However erm with Scarefest upcoming here's some fun facts about how the scare mazes will fit into the lore:

Scare mazes themed to rides will mostly be considered when writing that ride/areas story (i.e. Subspecies has its own whole section in Chapter 1). However, some scare mazes may be seperated (i.e. The Sanctuary).

There will only be a small handful of unique scare mazes that get their own featured moments in the main story. The rest will be considered for bonus stories and extra content no matter the form this story takes.

The scare mazes that get their own focus will be the ones that can be found in/around the Towers. Which is a lot. I won't be giving the exact line-up, and it won't be massive as they have a story to share along side Hex and a major turning point overall. That's all you get to know 🤭

Trust I am handling this story as well as I can. I want to be faitful and true to how Alton Towers has presented its stories, while also taking liberties and running with what I feel fits. Creating new spaces, characters, and more to tell the story I want to.

I'm still deciding how the story will be told too. But that will be found out some point in the future.

For now, I think TT may be taking a back seat while I focus on my career and my silly little game (AnoVerse). I hope to be back on this account soon enough though ❤️

i love how my gut reaction with an anoverse thred being updated is “SHIT they responded oh fuck oh fuck oh fucjk”

Modular spiral coil inserter that is designed to quickly assist in spinning color coil onto your documents

Overview:  Modular spiral coil inserter that is designed to quickly assist in spinning color coil onto your documents.Part of the GBC line of modular equipment.  It is designed to stack on top of the MP2500ix, MP2000C4 or the Magnapunch.Canbe used as a stand alone inserter to help increase productivity as partof an assembly line process. Perfect for getting those large jobs donefast.

Features / Strengths:

Includes aset of coil crimping pliers and a convenient holder to hold yourpliers. This way you don't lose them when you aren't using them andthey are always nearby when you need to finish your books.Includes a spine former on the top of the machine for forming documents up to 35mm thick.Hasan adjustable bottom roller to accommodate larger diameters of coil.Many coil inserters use fixed rollers making them very ineffective withlarge diameter coil.With the CC2700 both rollers movehelping to give your coil better traction and to reduce problems withinserting. This is a feature that many lower end inserters don't offer.It has a large diameter top roller to help provide better friction when inserting coils.Uses a convenient foot pedal that allows you to hold the coil and the book without worrying about turning on or off the machine.

Limitations:

Itworks better with large sized coils than other inserters but stilldoesn't work very well for coils that are larger than 30mm.

More AnoVerse Sillies ✨

Hey guys :) guess who has been up to stuff again.

Be ready - massive ramble session coming up on y'all about art, writing, and I have a poll at the end regarding content that some maybe be interested in seeing...?

Been messing around with AnoVerse yet again. No game dev stuff this time though - instead, been hard at work drawing and writing. Yeah I know one day I'll make up my mind on a format for my stuff lol

REDESIGNS 🎨

First thing you might notice about the above doodle - I'm working on redesigning Deejay 😲 oh my goodness !! Finally !! How crazy !! For real though, Deejay needed an update badly. He has been that same design that was once just my online sona for years and while I can't remove what makes him Deejay, I can differentiate him in some ways - especially since Joyscape has claimed the top hat for good !

So, here's a current look at the design that's upcoming ! The one above is more final, but below you can see the initial coloured concept when I was finally getting to closer to it.

He's not insanely different obviously. His hair is more messy with some spikyness to it. His clothes are overall a tad baggier. Pants are now a light brown instead of grey. Blue shirt. Etc etc. Y'all can see it.

The other 3 may get slight changes - but I don't see anyone else needing a major change anytime soon. Ave you can see some slight changes - his skin colour I wanted to lean towards being more red due to his form coming from a red liquid rather than being human. Minister is well... Minister. A tad chunkier maybe, but besides that haha. And a reminder that nothing is final ever lol

WRITING 📗

Oh my goodness !! JustDaniel !! Actually making something that feels final !! Preposterious.

No but for real, I've got some AnoVerse book writing being done. 3 chapters into it and feeling good. Progress has been steady and I'm mostly writing for myself... but. A recent university assignment helped me see more potential in my writing, so I'm curious as to what to do.

This current AnoVerse story I'll release for free when it's done I know that for sure - however I'm curious.

Frankly right now I don't know what I expect doing this poll. My reach here is minimal, 24 people actually following the blog and it's my besties mostly to my knowledge hi besties by the way lmao. But I'd be highly interested in knowing the answers anyway because I'd probably only need about 10 pre-orders to justify it if I did physical books. I've done the research, I know what my pricing would be, etc etc. So y'know yeah. Might be fun to do.

Anyway... that's all from me thanks guys. Been nice to post here again. Will hopefully see you soon lol

Byeee <33

[justdaniel-eh]

eheheh ehehahaha hhahahahah

Hi chat it is 2am New sprites WIP :D I am enjoying making AnoVerse content hehehehe

he is so SQUISHED

The bug that I accidentally found was fixed in 10 minutes by the way. Any clipping issues are easy cos they're not code and are instead hitbox issues LOL

For now anyway,,,

Alright. I'm gonna make the idle anim and then sleep. Goodnight fellas.

[justdaniel-eh]

BOOK PRE-ORDERS AVAILABLE NOW

BUY IT HERE Also the discord server too finally lol

[justdaniel-eh]

🌻Faremont Outskirts🏙️

Some concet art I did between 3am and 4am for AnoVerse. It's not perfect, there's loads of little changes I could make - but it's purely to get the concept across and hey. I did it.

So here's some notes regarding Faremont City and it's surroundings!(All locations names subject to change because idk how to name stuff lol)

Faremont City sits in the North-East corner of Fimidaia in the Illuman region. It borders the coastline, with Sunset Park being located by the beach itself (something like Blackpool Pleasure Beach for example).

The land surrounding the city are inspired by some memories of travelling through the British countryside. I have a very specific memory of seeing a purple one and thinking it looked beautiful - so as you can see, purple flowers. The team's house is also amongst these fields, just away from the busy city life. Minister built it there for the peace and quiet. The city was never quite his thing.

To the West of Faremont City begins the mountainous region of Snowdrana, home to Mount Starfor. Mount Starfor I'll expand on later, but you'll explore that area eventually within the game!

Now and then between all the fields, there will be woods scattered about. They're more South, hence why they aren't within the image. The forests begin to grow larger the further South you go until you reach Foremeer where the region is mostly forest.

There's plenty more still to learn about the world of AnoVerse, but for now I think that's all I'll share. If you've read this far - here's some sprites hehe.

That last little fella won't be used. I really don't know why I still have him. But there he is.

Anyway uh yeaa that's all bye I'm gonna actually try finish this running animation haha

[justdaniel-eh]

Him 💛

I'm still working hard on the AnoVerse book trust... but also Welcome to The Joyscape has kinda began to share my brain too. I will say - this is a first. Both AnoVerse AND Joyscape sharing my brain is rare, but very welcomed. I'm happy to be slightly working on one while focusing on a big project for the other. Been feeling very attatched and proud of both projects recently so <3 yeah Here's one last Welcome to The Joyscape thing to add to this post though because why not

Potential park map layout :) Anyway yeah yippee yay byeee that's all lol

AnoVerse Book Update 📚

Hey guys. Hiiii. So y'know how last time I did an AnoVerse blog post I essentially did an interest check an AnoVerse book... Well I have updates because it did recieve enough for me to believe it is viable to do.

[Above: Concept cover. Heavily WIP]

So. First and foremost - story. This story is not the beginning of AnoVerse. Consider it like a pilot book. It's not necessarily something done - I know - but not any part of how this book is being "published" is normal, and so who cares. Point is, this book is here to show the vision for AnoVerse, and has a mixture of what I want the series to be. It will not be perfect for sure, I'm not a professional writer, but it will be the best it can.

So... what is the story?

Minister and Deejay attend one of the richest parties man can afford, hosted by Mayor Plum at Illumai Manor... only issue is Minister has been an isolated inventor for most of his life, only promising to come along because he specifically got invited. Now the old man has to survive a night with his lover, worst enemy, and many new faces without having a breakdown. Meanwhile, follow the chaos back home as Ave and Danny try to navigate the darkness of their own powerless house, and subsequentially try to fix it.

As you can see, the story will have an A/B plot structure, with 5 chapters that cover each section. It's looking to be around 15,000 words, so hopefully it'll have a good amount of content for my first book!

Pricing 💲 and Roadmap 🛣

I've spent the last few weeks, between writing, looking at pricing and the roadmap for this and I think I'm ready to share this information.

The book itself will be paperback and cost £11.99 with worldwide shipping. Shipping prices will change dependant on your location: UK has free shipping; Europe shipping is £2.99; and everywhere else is £5.99. This is to account for the additional cost it will take to ship outside of the UK, whereas UK shipping is already considered in the book's price. Though, I have plans to do what I can to find ways to reduce shipping costs in the future.

Hardcover copies will come to future books dependant on sales.

As for the roadmap - there's not lots to say for this book. The current aims are:

Writing Completion - March 2025

Art Completion - Late March/April 2025

Pre-orders - Late March/Early April 2025 (Set to last a month)

Shipping - Late May 2025

Online Release - July 2025

These dates I believe are feasible at the moment - the book itself is 50% done in terms of writing with art concepts now being started (as seen by the first image). These dates are set to change, however I do not wish to have this book out any later than June 2025. This is because if things go well - I have the plan for books 1-4... but I'm not ready to share info on them just yet, besides the fact that I would like them to be released over 2026.

One last thing I'd like to talk about that may standout here... the "online release." Given that this book is absolutely a test to gage interest in the series - I need actual reviews and opinions on the book. So, as a result, I will be releasing it later online after the physical books have shipped (or we may skip straight to that if I don't get enough pre-orders). The e-book version may be free, but I may charge a small price for it, I'm currently unsure. Either way, if you wish to support and see this series be made a reality - the physical book will be the way to go as that is what WILL get this series made.

Anyway, that's all the information I have for now. If you've read this far - thank you. I'll hopefully have more updates soon enough.

✨AnoVerse Gameplay (Scoring) Stuff✨

I'm gonna be so real I'm mainly doing this cos I wanted to share new prototype footage but OBS was kicking my butt so instead. Screenshot and ramble about how the games score system will work :D

As you might be able to see above, the prototype is. Coming along. Compared to the last bit of footage I put on my tumblr. I've still PLENTY to do, such as level assets, backgrounds, proper UI, etc. But functionality is kinda my core focus besides from the odd now and then switch to the graphics (i.e. when I got sick of the static player and red walls).

The first thing I really want to talk about is what platforming features I want to just have in this game. You can see in the screenshot above a point system, "sparks", a timer, and down in the bottom left a combo system. These are the most fundemental gameply features for seeing how well you do in a level.

Completing a level will give you a rank from "Eh" to "Incredible" which is based off of your score and time. To get the highest rank, the required targets must be met. Hopefully, I can make the ranks balance out, so say if your score was bad your time might make up for it, but for a true perfect rank you must meet the max requirements for both.

Ways you can up your score is by collecting sparks and attacking enemies - fights being the more impactful way to earn points. Sparks are more so a currency, being useful in various shop points. Collecting one will net you a small point score of 10 - and will charge up your combo meter. While they may not be worth many points, they can work well for quick resets to your meter if you need a little extra time before reaching your next enemy.

I can't lie I took a break from writing uuhhh here's some older concept art trying to figure out the direction I wanted to go for level UI.

Alright that's all goodnighttt

[justdaniel-eh]

I wanna ramble so it's time to talk about

⚙ MINISTER ⚡

Pre-warning: this post is gonna be a LOT cos I don't think I've talked AnoVerse lore much publically. I will do a public AnoVerse lore breakdown at some point. Or at least what I'm fine with revealing.

Also, I really hate how there's no yellow text honestly I cannot keep sufficing for orange, that's not Minister's colour that's Danny's 😭

Gonna be so real guys help I have no idea how to put his little patchy beard into the smaller format god send help (in short, the sprite is still not done)

Minister is our teams unofficial leader, not just by being the oldest (in his late 20's roughly), but also because he's by technicality the one who really started it all. Though, in the end of the day, the 4 of them have never even discussed the idea of a team name let alone roles or positions haha. Minister himself is a massive nerd engineering, mechanics, and science. He spends a lot of time locked down in the basement, tinkering away at little inventions, but ends up needing to go out and about now and then anyway.

His most beloved creation is Myr (seen to the left of Minister in the sprites above), his handy assistant robot. She follows her creator most days - the two only splitting if Minister is needed in two places at once, or if Minister needs an extra pair of eyes on the house. He would probably go crazy if she were to ever break or get damaged.

Minister's story though is also our beginning to AnoVerse. Appearing out of literally no where in Faremont roughly a decade ago, he began making a name for himself, fixing and creating devices for the townsfolk. The money he saved from these jobs allowed him to save to begin building his own house on the outskirts, sick of the noise the city brought, and also just wishing to be more isolated and alone.

Then one night in late Winter, there was a knock at his door. A poor kid stuck out in the cold and snow, needing a shelter to stay in. Minister really wasn't one for unexpected visitors, but alas he couldn't leave a child to freeze in the snow - and thus, Deejay began staying at Minister's house.

The two eventually formed a bond. Deejay got Minister to become a tiny bit more open and less isolated, even if it was with him. Minister gave Deejay a place to call home. Generally though, that's all you need to know for now.

Above: Minister in his early 20's, shortly after Deejay appeared into his life, and before being fired from his job at the time.

Anyway, here's a list of Minister's relationships with other characters

I am about to name drop a ton of characters I haven't quite mentioned before be ready LMAO

As previously mentioned, Minister provided Deejay a home. Between the other 3, Minister has the closest relationship with Deejay. Someone he can confide in and rely on when he needs to.

Minister's relationship with Another is... rocky. You'd imagine Minister to be closer with one of his creations, much like Myr. But something about the way Minister looks at Another, you can see hints of... disappointment? It's odd and not something Minister wishes to open up about. The two generally tend to never speak 1 on 1 unless absolutely necessary.

Minister doesn't know much about Danny... just that he kinda barged into the house one day, made himself at home, and Deejay convinced him to let him stay. Though, he feels the less he knows the better.

Minister and Grant Evco (AnoVerse's main villain/the head of Escenic for those who do not know) have a complicated history. One that kind of stays in the past... but it really impacts how much they seriously dislike each other now. Though, for what it's worth, they still have enough respect to not destroy each others reputation.

The final major person in Minister's life is Samantha Heel - the head of defensive operations for Faremont City. The two end up working together a lot due to the amount of times the government commissions work off of Minister, but have had history before even then as they have both worked in the same company on a couple occassions in the past decade. And though Minister will never confirm anything... They might be sneaking off together now and then. She's definitely the person he's closest to, maybe barely just above Deejay.

Above: my favourite piece of Minister and Deejay. A remastered piece, originally from a comic. All done by @/evilredyoshis. I cannot stress how much art she's done for my projects in previous years, as usual go drop her a follow or show her posts some support.

This. Is a really long post. For something that I probably need to give LOTS AND LOTS MORE context and world building around before anyone even touches this.

Anyway that's all goodnight hehe :))

[justdaniel-eh]

Hi guys - Smaller AV Book Update

This is just kinda a "progress is moving" update because I wanted to write out a full update... almost could have

BUT I am ill as all hell... so I will not be finishing what I had. It's fine though because I can put more into the next update... which could be quite special if my plans go correctly.

I don't want to confirm it yet, but between now and the next update I could announce the pre-order date !! Early April is now what we're looking at, marketing materials are being prepared, and much more is being made for the book itself...

I hope to get this book into your hands sooner than later - I've actually had the first review/feedback on the work in progress !! So shoutout to my mother who pointed out grammer issues, but generally complimented and was very positive about the writing itself haha :)

Anyway... see you all later !!

[justdaniel-eh]

AnoVerse Book Updates

Good morning tumblr :D

Figured since I mentioned the AnoVerse book in my last post ,,, little update time. I've been hard focusing (as much as I can between work and assignments anyway) the artistic side and refining the first half of the written book itself... so let me break down the work done for you all !

Writing Updates ✍

As I said, I've been refining the first half of the written book. This hasn't just been rereading and changing sentances either... I noticed come chapter 3 that I was writing a LOT more than I expected for the first half because I was so much more focused on character interactions since that was what the story was becoming for that part. It prompted me to reread what I'd done so far and realise that I did actually want to include more of that since we only get limited time with Deejay and Minister in the picture together. So whole sections have been added to reach a standard I'm more happy with.

Obviously the biggest issue that comes with that is pacing... I personally think I can make the pacing work - but the sudden increase in content by the chapter is something I'm trying to figure out how I want to work around. For the record - chapter 1 at the moment is just under 2000 words... chapter 2 is just under 4000 ! Nearly double ! It's very hard to just cut out writing and character moments I'm happy with and love !! I'll figure it out though eventually before release, I wouldn't want to release something I'm not happy with.

Art Updates 🖌

So... this post opened with something new as you may have seen.

Finally - I've made the AnoVerse 2025 logo !

A new logo is something I was wanting to get down for a while... I mean the old logo was outdated the second Deejay got an updated design - not to mention I felt it wasn't something I could utilise dynamically with each story. The original focused too much on representing each character rather than the story... and yes this new logo still has some character focused decisions here as you may be able to tell, but it's for a much greater purpose.

The red star is very much the series' logo and brand now to me. It'll make more sense after the Cosmos Cuprite arc has finished (which will be the first arc to begin if the series begins proper production), however even past that I personally see a lot in stars that resonates with AnoVerse. A star to me represents hope and new beginnings. Adventure maybe even as the unknown calls to be discovered. It's a universal consistant that I feel can apply to AnoVerse no matter the situation.

Anyway... enough about the star. Look at them !!

The front cover is coming along nicely... I removed the background for this image since it's not yet done haha and I don't want to show EVERYTHING off, but I had a lot of fun drawing these three and am excited to draw more of them for this project.

Fun little fact about this... I wanted to give them all unique party hairstyles too, but sooner realised that Minister was the only one who fit giving him a different hairstyle - I mean, he's trying extra hard to be presentable for this haha. On the contrary, Deejay is just here for a good time and Samantha always has her hair back in case she needs to go into action.

No it wasn't because I couldn't find hairstyles I liked trust me. I swear.

The Future (at the moment) ✨

Honestly... I just wanna talk a little bit more about the future of this real fast. First of all - roadmap goals. I'm still very confident in the ones I set for the most part, but I'm considering adjustments since I've began to realise how much of my time that assignments and work is taking up. I still think pre-orders will be up in the next 2-4 weeks, but I think I'll be leaving pre-orders up for 2 months so that I can have plenty of time to ensure everything is ready AND properly market the book which would push the book itself closer to a mid-June release with the online release becoming August.

This definitely affects my conceptual plans for the next year if this is a success, but it's not a massive deal since I think I knew deep down that it was a tad unreasonable... I still very much think I could get at least the first 3 books out in 2026.

Anyway, that's all. I just wanted to provide more updates. Hopefully these updates can come every 2 weeks, just depends what I have to report... we'll see though.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading, hope to see you again soon :D
