I have survived the move! Back to writing.

Hi, I know I don't do constant daily updates here all the time, but just letting you know it is gonna be sparse because I am moving across the country and then I'm busy for a bit. There is some work still being done, and I have specific plans post-move. Stay tuned! #BIOMECHTTRPG

Trans Rights or die, it's that simple

You guys like to look at things, right? @mechanicalblue.bsky.social has the concepts complete for the BIOMECHs that will be on the cover image. More to come both from writing and art down the road! #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG #TTRPG #TTRPGdev #indiedev #gamedev #mecha

Tested v0.5.1 Overall, this is the smoothest it has run. Had some hiccups with mostly new additions, such as grenades. Pilot combat needs a little more love, but only just. Truly, most of the notes are just small weapon tweaks, Biggest thing is changing up some language, tbh.

Forgot to write here. V0.5.1 is finished, and I'm getting a test together with the test group. Big thing was some terrain rules, cover rules, more usable items, surprise rounds, and some tweaks to grappling. Tons of tweaks. I'll let you know how the test goes once it happens! #BIOMECHTTRPG #BIOMECH

So, I've been a bit slow on writing due to life trying to set itself on fire anytime I sit for a second and breathe. HOWEVER, @mechanicalblue.bsky.social has still been making great work on the art for the cover! Here's another step of the concepts for the cover (: #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG

Like I said, @mechanicalblue.bsky.social has been making strides when it comes to this project. BIOMECH now has a proper logo! More to come, but below this I'll post some concept stuff for y'all to look at!

Hi, there are a lot of things happening! Life has gotten in the way of a lot, and unfortunately Ant has had to leave the project. They were a pleasure to work with and I would still recommend you check them out at @antthonygallego.bsky.social. We got some great early concepts and a feel going.

I haven't died, and the worst part of the year is over. I have work to do

slowing down for a bit, sorry

Slowly working on an itch page. Nothing to show for it yet, but I figure that might be a good thing to have before the alpha drops. Dunno when I'll unleash it upon the world, but hopefully a little bit before the alpha is ready so people can share it around

Got to test V0.5 Due to changes in how difficulty worked, there was a LOT that changed, and the next thing on the list is to rewrite the few things I missed in the transfer (small little things, numbers mostly) The grappling rules work well, but there are some clarifications that are needed.

Hi, still alive - moving and doing things, even! Good news: I'm getting in the first test of V 0.5 in tomorrow Gooder news: @antthonygallego.bsky.social has been doing wonders with concept art, real excited for where we are going! Here's a couple pieces as a sneak peek #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG

Sorry for a lack of updates recently! Things have been nothing short of extreme in my personal life, so there hasn't been much time or headspace to work on this. More to come soonish, but holy fuck I need things to slow down for like, 5 minutes. I'm only one dude

Test Character 5: Marshal "Lawman" Reeves Maybe I'll post the others sometime. Looking back, this is the first (almost) full bio page posted i think #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG #gamedev #TTRPGdev #indiedev #TTRPG #mecha #bodyhorror

The holidays keep clinging to my ankles and slowing me down, but I had to develop a new weapon just a little early to V0.5.1, cause it really fit one of the new test characters (more on that later) Anyone else like AC6, btw? Still thinking about that game. #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG #gamedev #indiedev

Back to work today, and it starts with getting characters ready for v0.5. Next version is gonna add a lot of additional items, weapons, and mods. Mods are starting on character sheets. here's a peek at the first of many to come. #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG

Once the holidays are over, I plan to get back to work on this. Forced myself to take a break, and it has been worthwhile

v.0.5 is done. at least, the base system is. Character sheets need to be updated, the 2 new test characters need creating, and the starter mission needs writing. the heavy lifting is (mostly) over though! Huzzah! #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG #TTRPGdev #gamedev #indiedev #mecha #bodyhorror

work is being done, just slowly. I had a different project break due to some IP address issues today, so my day was spent on doing groceries and then fixing that. Making a quick reference guide and writing out the starter mission. not a lot to show off, however more soon!

Hey, another update! I am working with @antthonygallego.bsky.social to create the cover art for BIOMECH. I'm super excited to be working with them and you should check them out! You can also find them on Insta: www.instagram.com/antthonygall... I'm still writing V0.5. Soon. #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG

Little update: Doing the last of the deliberation with some artists over the weekend, and writing out the section specifically for playing the Alpha. I should have an announcement about an artist soon, AND I plan on doing another closed Alpha test soon #BIOMECHTTRPG #BIOMECH

“The mass production models were always unstable…” Evening concept design inspired by the stuff from @biomech-ttrpg.bsky.social #TTRPG #ConceptArt #biotech #mech #grimdark #scifi #horror

SUBMISSIONS CLOSED! Thank you to everyone who submitted! I'll be reaching out to artists soon, so keep an eye on your email or other preferred contact method. Seriously, I'm giddy at the amount of attention this got and how much cool art there is. I dread choosing. Thank you so much! #BIOMECHTTRPG

A quick concept sketch inspired by JetmanJay's BIOMECH TTRPG "Arachnoturret" - Designed for long-range artillery strikes. arachnid-like lower legs capable of gripping difficult terrain, including asteroids. Modular weaponry includes heat-seeking missiles and quad heavy machine guns. #BIOMECHTTRPG

I made the mistake of walking away from my computer. Had to go transfer it over to a google doc, but here you go! Again, this is going to be a little refined and tweaked before full release, but you can get a taste of what is cooking (: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG

You wanted lore and perhaps an overview on BIOMECH? 20 Reskeets and I'll release the current draft of the Overview, and Setting and Introduction sections within the alpha. They might see small tweaks before the alpha release, but should stay largely the same #BIOMECH #BIOMECHTTRPG #gamedev #TTRPGdev
