The days following a mod release are always hectic, and this past week was no exception. As much as I’d love to kick back and enjoy the positive feedback, there are always bugs to fix, and this release had its fair share.
Bok McDonagh
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.
The Problem with Outsourcing
I recently came across a report on abuse in the games industry which inspired me to tell my own story. While the abuse I encountered wasn’t directed at me, it was still surprising to encounter.
Judgements and Accusations
Aegon and the Troupe raided the dungeon beneath the Ulcaster School Ruins and slayed the necromancer that dwelled within. After the death of Recorder, they returned to Beregost to bring her back to life.
Wandering and Wat Manorom
After an unsuccessful attempt to visit the UXO center in Luang Prabang, we decided to take a leisurely stroll around the city instead. It’s a small city compared to the sprawling metropolises we were used to in China; but that didn’t mean there wasn’t anything new to discover.
Warframe: A Frame of a Game
I’ve heard of Warframe, but I never took the time to play it. With a very positive rating on Steam, it promises that you will “awaken as an unstoppable warrior and battle alongside your friends.” I spent around a week playing it to see what it’s all about.
v6.0.0: The Villager Release
It’s a New Year so it’s a new version of the mod. This week I’ve finally released version 6 of Bok’s Banging Butterflies. Now everyone can play with the new features I’ve been working on for the last several months.
The Year 2024 in Retrospect
This year, I finally took a leap I’d been dreaming of for years: I chose myself. I left behind a life of routine, and embraced the unknown as a nomad.
Rick Harris the Necromancer
The Troupe have made their way through the inhabitants of the Ulcaster School Ruins to rescue Sir Mark. They find the necromancer holding him hostage, facing up against Ruby, a member of Recorder’s expedition. Now the Troupe is ready to kill yet another necromancer infesting the Sword Coast.
UXO Laos Visitor Center (ish)
My friend had recommended the UXO Laos Visitor Center to me when we were in Thailand. So on our second day in Luang Prabang we set out to pay it a visit. We hoped for an eye-opening look at the most significant challenge facing Laos.
Studio Goya’s Sandwich Sudoku
With a busy Christmas week I’ve not had much time for more complex games. So in-between present unwrapping and the consumption of too much food, I’ve been playing another of Studio Goya’s Sudoko games as an escape from the madness of the holiday.
