The ground is streak and Apple Bees roam the land. The trees grow apples and the rivers are the gummy shark alcohol they serve. 🍎

Also on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/p/CZGeDq4umUX/

further thoughts down below, text transcript under the images

I'm a fan of Applebees

not in the sense of actually going there very often, I've only been there once in my entire life, but more in the sense of having increasing interesting headcanons about the restaurant and going through periods of randomly thinking about it on a daily basis.

*Dons serious conspiracy voice*

Applebees, the older, edgier brother of IHOP and also a mysterious restaurant serving potentially smuggled in Dragonfruit lemonade, and steak harvested from the restaurants own personal dimension.

In the basement there's a fleet of airships under construction, soon to be unleashed for the latest marketing campaign where coupons and gummy sharks will rain from the sky onto the American populace.

The place is frequented by eccentric creatives and oddities, and in the woods nearby there's cloning machines dedicated to cloning these most loyal customers as a way to keep the restaurant afloat during economic hardships.

Perhaps it's a regular place that just "hip with Young people" in a misleading sense, only seen as weird to me because the strangeness of other restaurants have yet to be unveiled. Maybe all restaurants have dragonfruit lemonade available.... perhaps as one of those "Young" people would say: "I'm destined to wonder"...

World Design, Runescape, and Fast Travel

Fuck. You got work tomorrow, and you've already scraped the last bit of coffee out the container this morning. And there's no way in hell or the abyss, that you can get through work without some more. So you stop by a Walmart to grab some. But as you drive through the shopping plaza, you notice there's a cheap pastry shop, a pet store with some cool fish to look at, and a nice fountain to sit by. None of these stores are worth taking the time out of our day to visit, but you're already here right? Why not enjoy the little detour you’ve been forced to take?

Or better yet, imagine your travelling down a mountain road, but alas, you in all your brilliance forgot to get gas for the car. The only station you know of is thirty minutes back the way you came. You start cursing at the steering wheel when your friend pulls out the map and reveals that up ahead is a fork in the road, taking the left path takes you to a quiet little mountain village that just happens to have the only gas station in your current direction. So because of the distance between you, your current location, and your own poor decision making, your forced to pull in to a tiny little villa that you've now fallen head over heels in love with. From the locals, to some of the best restaurants you've ever been to. It even has a cute Knick Knack store! If it wasn't for your circumstances while travelling you would've missed such a beautiful hole in the wall locale.

But what would have happened if you could have just gone to the dollar store next door to where you work? Or what if there was a convenient gas station on the main path on that mountain? 

If you're looking for your answer, then Runescape loadstones are what you're looking for. Let me give you a specific example. White Wolf mountain. The western part of the map is blocked by a treacherous mountain with tough enemies for a new player, or you have to go south and pay for a ship. If you elect to skip paying the ship fare and the walk south then now you've got to take the winding path. Every time. Once across there's a small fishing town, it's got one of the best fishing grounds. It has various fishing spots to catch different leveled fish, a store to buy them, or a bank to store them. Catherby becomes the respite from White Wolf Mountain, and White Wolf Mountain itself becomes a character as you associate it with winding paths, the dead bodies littering the ascent, and the wolves that prowl on the under leveled. It represents both a challenge, as well as the gateway to the other half of Runescape's massive map. There is a shortcut though. However it requires a quest to access and to complete the quest you have to level your fishing skill. So now Catherby becomes the training ground to level up to go unlock the path to "beat" White Wolf Mountain. The mountain provides a threat and encourages the player to either level their combat, or skip the whole walk up by leveling their non-combat skills. It provides a fun nuisance to players the first time they come ill-prepared, and offers a means for extrinsic motivation to level their skills. Its perfect world design, blending elements of player driven storytelling and pushing good quest exploration. And then the load stones came.

Loadstones are really simple. It’s just Runescapes method of fast travelling When you go to one for the first time, you can then teleport to it for free. Forever. Crossed White Wolf Mountain once? Never go to it again. Need to go to Ardougne? Teleport to that bitch. there's a quest to skip White Wolf Mountain? Don't need to do that shit until I'm forced as a quest requirement for some more meaty feeling quests. The ease of loadstones and how forgiving they are to new players, cheapens the early sense of difficulty White Wolf Mountain ultimately posed, and chips off the character of the area. For RPGs sometimes the best stories aren't the ones programmed by developers, but driven by a player's sense of exploration and testing the boundaries of what they're capable of. Loadstones negate this feeling. And take the edge off these locations, making the journey no longer something to be tackled or planned around. It causes players to now entirely think about what they're teleporting to instead of how to get there, it emphasizes the destination and deemphasizes the journey, cutting a huge avenue of early player experience.

Towns like Port Sarim become less useful as a trip to catch a boat when I could easily loadstone to places. Towns that acted as byways stations and encouraged you to skill there as you passed through have been almost forgotten by me until I need to go there for a quest. Routes that I used to walk no longer are used. And shortcuts like canoeing feel like leftovers from an earlier design philosophy no longer in practice since I can just loadstone everywhere. The characterization given to the world through interaction has faded, and so has my understanding of these small towns in the game Now I understand why they did this. Some quests start on one side the map and have you going to random places that functionally have no reason to need you to go to these places aside from padding. And loadstones cut quest length down in half. It makes linking up with friends easier, and some towns are actually worth visiting now that the walk is a quarter of the time. Some loadstones even require quests to activate. like the one in the desert. Soren Johnson, a designer of Civilization IV can be quoted as saying “given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game,” And I just feel that a lot of the joy that came from planning my routes, or finding shortcuts, or stopping by small towns has been completely forgotten. That the dollar store has come to roost, and that a gas station has been given to me. Yes I’m less annoyed, but am I more fulfilled?

3 Free Tools for Writers!

Struggling to keep your ideas organized and in one place? Here are some apps and programs to help you!

World Anvil 

I bet you’ve seen this website a few times, and it’s really good! World Anvil lets you create articles on topics about your world, and you can even create sub articles for them, too! They cover a wide range of categories, like past conflicts, illnesses/plauges, architecture, and more. If you struggle to come up with the articles yourself, they also offer prompts for each category that you can answer, and make an article out of that. World Anvil is a great tool for keeping your world all in one place, and very organized. It’s a little hard to use at first, but I suggest trying it out!

 Inkarnate 

Don’t you love books that have visual maps of their worlds? Well, Inkarnate is an online site that allows you to make your own maps! You can choose from a selection of map types, and each type comes with it’s own free assets collection! If you decide to pay, you get more assets and tools to use, but I’ve made maps with the free version that look good just as well. You get stamps, title plates, compasses, and you can export it to you computer for free. It’s very addicting to play around with, and now you have a map of your world! 

Pinterest

Probably a more popular one, but if you’re a writer (or any type of creator, honestly) you need Pinterest! You can find inspirational pictures of people, settings or objects, and sort them into boards for each of your stories! I find it helps a lot when I’m having a problem describing something, because I can look up a picture and look at it physically instead of in my head. It’s also great if you don’t have any ideas, because Pinterest has loads of photo prompts to create from! I promise, if you download it, you won’t be getting rid of it anytime soon. 

That’s all for now, but I hope these help you out! I think my favourite is World Anvil, because they get me thinking about what else my world could use. Not to mention, they keep all my lore stuff organized. Thanks for reading, and happy writing!

World Design #6 - Pacing

For pacing analysis, I chose Persona 5 as during my time with it, I felt it paced things very well.

The game does pacing through its year-long day-by-day calendar system. It uses an arc based system where it mostly introduces a villain of the month per arc. Each arc introduces a new character and contacts. Each arc has a deadline that the player must complete the heist and defeat the boss by, lest the face a non-default game over. It breaks up the repetitive structure to keeps things from getting stale, such as the summer vacation episode before the fifth arc, using it to foreshadow the sixth arc. Once the player catches up with the in media res episode, the pacing structure starts fluctuating wildly.

My criticism of this pacing is that it felt very predictable and could use a bit of breaking up, as noted by how uniform the first one-third the chart is. In practice, this wasn’t really a problem as the day-by-day system and the dynamism of the world kept the game’s pacing up.
