The Peons – Skins – Dev Blog 93

By beebug_nic 24 Apr, 2020 Leave a comment

It’s very important to me that players feel an emotional connection to their peons. This is mostly because peons die a lot and I’m quite a mean person. With the various personalities the peons have (talking about their stats, their traits and their memories) – means they act very differently and every peon is fairly

The Peons – Traits – Dev Blog 90

By beebug_nic 3 Apr, 2020 Leave a comment

This week, I look at the final thing that makes every peon unique – traits. I’ve discussed how the peon stats work and also gone into details about how memories work. Traits are unique characteristics of a peon, that can change their stats as well as tweaking the AI brain the peon has. Traits come

The Peons – Memories – Dev Blog 89

By beebug_nic 27 Mar, 2020 Leave a comment

Continuing from last weeks blog post, this week I’ll talk more about another aspect of the peons – their memories. The peons arrive in Fringe Planet with no memory of who they were from their time on Earth. They will have vague recollections of things that have happened in their past – but it will

The Peons – Stats – Dev Blog 88

By beebug_nic 20 Mar, 2020 Leave a comment

Every peon is unique. With the number of permutations there are most likely trillions of different peons that you may encounter while playing Fringe Planet. I’ve had a few questions about some of the basic mechanics behind Fringe Planet, and though everything is in the blog – I thought it would be awesome to do

Voices from The Void – Dev Blog 83

By beebug_nic 14 Feb, 2020 Leave a comment

That old radio we had found months ago was playing music again – a distorted and static-filled version of some classical piece none of us could place. It managed to be both refreshing as well as creepy. We had been living here for over a year now. Stuart, one of the first of the group

The writings of Elisabeth Crane – Dev Blog 77

By beebug_nic 20 Dec, 2019 Leave a comment

Part 1 – A beginning My name is Elisabeth Crane. I doubt human eyes will ever read these writings, but it is in my nature to make them – for there is a chance that one day they may be recovered and I truly fear the situation that will involve their discovery. I have taken

Wish you were here – Dev Blog 60

By beebug_nic 23 Aug, 2019 Leave a comment

So the Kickstarter has been live for a week and a half now, and is my all consuming focus at the moment. I’ve been reaching out to folks, I’ve been guest blogging, I’ve even experimented with buying adverts. All in the name of driving more traffic to the Kickstarter page, as well increasing the number

Peons with personality – Dev Blog 55

A busy week – which has shot past. Time seems to be going faster and faster as I approach the Kickstarter date (I may have mentioned it before, August 13th – less than a month!). As regular readers will know, I take feedback about Fringe Planet very seriously. One of the bits of feedback I’ve

Of Lovecraft and Lore – Dev Blog 47

By beebug_nic 24 May, 2019 Leave a comment

So I may have mentioned occasionally that Fringe Planet is heavily inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. In fact, it’s not just his works which inspire Fringe Planet – but other weird fiction authors as well – Poe, Wells, Bloch, Stoker and many more. It’s a genre I love and it’s very easy to
