S omewhere in the deep forest. Silence lies heavy under the lush treetops.

A twig breaks and an explosion of wildlife flees the scene in every possible direction, all fleeing from the hunter. A vicious person working hard for his next meal.

The hunter slowly lifts his hand. Gently he pushes away the branch that's obstructing his view. There she is. The muse. The goddess. Granter of creation and happiness. Bathing nekkehdly in the spring of life.

The hunter has finally found his grand game. Gathering courage to take down the goddess of love takes time. A quiet sigh marks his unending determination.

"Lets do this."

One of the basic elements in the game is the vast concept the character's garage and workshop. It's a major part of the game's mechanics and spannes from the simplest dirty garages in the urban djungle to 'aircraft carrier zeppelins' to hangar space stations hiding in the asteroid fields enveloping the future earth.

These workshops functions as a base of operation and as a fort for you and your crew. And if I were to put the roles of the workshop up in a list, it would look like this:

The home base is to work:

As a research and production facility for compeeting with the current market.
As ground zero for your missions given to you by more or less shady coorporations and factions.
As a defense or offense unit for war between players.
As a point of departure in salvage or raiding operations.
And as a regular workshop keeping your weaponry and vehicles in top shape.

If I were to point one thing out that keeps the adventurous alive in this world of waste and urban djungle it would be the mechanical battlesuits, also known as mechas. These mechanical wonders originates from the time of the last world war and they've become the main means for anyone with an adventurous disposition that seeks fortune and fame.

The five words this time around are:

"Oil it with Love, abundantly."

Take care untill next time!

Creativity is a funny thing, sometimes you got it and sometimes it's long gone seemingly forever blown away by a cloud of thiefing firemonkies. My creativity is comming to me this month though, the gods have been kind and sent me a muse powerfull enough for me to carry all teh problems of teh world on my shoulders.

But I'm not gonna use those powers for good, no. I'm not gonna solve world hunger, nor am I gonna end war. I am gonna use this power to create a game design document. Neat huh?

And if you wanna follow my work and give constructive and/or creative comments you're more than welcome to.

This game design document will be about a project I've had stuck in my mind for quite a while and it's about science fiction, adventure and war. A combination that can prove to be quite nice in sense of storytelling and intrigues.

If I would use "five words" [tm] to describe my beloved little project it would be;

"Enter your robot, adventures ahead."

Well that's atleast what pops into mind for now. I will try to find new five words each time I make a new entry in this blog.

Take care until next time!
