Back in Nashkel once again, Verr’Sza and the others, even Gorion’s old friends are starting to look up to him as a leader. After clearing out the mines and defeating the leaders of the bandit camp, the Troupe needs to decide their next move.
DocBok
I am Bok, a British-born expat living in China. I was born in Lancashire but identify as a 'plassie-Scouser'. I spent my youth growing up in Cumbria. Here I developed a great taste for exploration, climbing mountains and camping in the wilderness - a taste for travel that has defined my life.
Too Late to Build a Sandcastle?
Sometimes we assume that parts of our childhood are universal, that everyone has experienced. It’s easy to forget that things that seem so normal to you aren’t normal to you. To not realise that some parts of your childhood have not been experienced by others around the world.
The Banner Saga: A Story of War
The Banner Saga is part tactical combat game, part interactive story. It’s a game that absorbs you into an entirely new fantasy world. It’s a story of heroes, but also one of survival, as you also will need to maintain your supplies and the people that follow you.
A New Way to Feed Butterflies
The next step in the butterflies mod is to integrate them with villagers. Before I can do that they need a job block of some kind. So I’ve created a block that can help feed and breed butterflies. Later, we can use this block to create butterfly related villagers.
The Deadly Money Collectors
I dropped out of business studies in high school. When we were taught about inflation I got increasingly frustrated when I could get a simple answer to “why do prices need to rise?” I was told that “they just do for a healthy economy”, but I still couldn’t understand why.
A Cat, a Devil, and a Lady
Aegon convinced the Troupe to travel back to Adoy’s Enclave in order to avenge Neera’s death. While rescuing the wild mage, Adoy, they were attacked by Red Wizards of Thay. Rose and Aegon won the battle, but they were the only survivors.
Blue Seas and a Blue Lagoon
Sometimes it’s easier to have a day planned for you. In Koh Phangan we wanted to try some kayaking, so we booked a tour that would allow us to do so. We spent most of the day on the water, exploring a few islands we never even though to visit.
Frostpunk: An Empty Victory
When I finished one of Frostpunk’s campaigns for the first time I didn’t feel like I had won. I felt hollow and empty, like a part of my soul had been taken from me. I had won. But at what cost?
Bugs, Habitats, and Refactors
The next version of Bok’s Banging Butterflies will introduce villagers that can interact with butterflies. It’s still in the design stages, but I’m starting out by fixing a few bugs and working on what I can until I get my flow back again.
The Nature of Intelligence
Arthur C. Clarke once said that “it has yet to be proved that intelligence has any survival value.” It’s a statement that could still hold true today. Does our intelligence make us superior to other animals, or will it lead to our downfall?
