June 2022 Sitrep
What's happened so far Hey, this is getting done in the first half of the month! Progress! June has been a fairly slow month, though I've seen some progress. Especially it's been getting to be regular and steady progress. I was able to hit on half of my weekend schedule goals, which is better than… Continue reading June 2022 Sitrep
Sketches – Bottled Kefler
A type of schnapps, Kefler is one of the most broadly consumed alcohols in Fenren society, if for the simple reason that it deals with one of the biggest practical problems with high-alcohol drinks: the general dulling of perception and "slowing" of the mind suffered by the vast majority of Fenren. While many can (and… Continue reading Sketches – Bottled Kefler

While not the hardiest tree ever,… Continue reading Sketches – Pseudopine
Sketches – Ibizan Oil Pump
One of those fun little experimental doodles to try out an idea. I was wondering what you could make that would be like the classic pump jack, but different. Of course, coming up with something that works, but is different is a bit of a challenge. After all, a pump jack is one of those… Continue reading Sketches – Ibizan Oil Pump

Sketches – Small Shuttle Hangar
As part of the design work that has been put into the Augen Mk1's deckplans, I did a bit of a look at the hangar for her single small craft. As with many smaller ships, working compartments often have to do double duty. Especially when they take up a fair amount of internal volume AND… Continue reading Sketches – Small Shuttle Hangar
Building a Navy – deWulf Navy (2)
Continuing the series on Building a Navy, the next stage is to look at the Strategic Goals that the Navy is being tasked with. While not entirely dependent on the previous Strategic Assumptions, they are informed by them, and together they begin to form the foundation of what the deWulf Navy is built on. The… Continue reading Building a Navy – deWulf Navy (2)
