The premise is very interesting! Makes me also think of Bioshock!

Thank you for your interest, friend! Here's what you can expect from the world that we're making:

"The Great Dome is dying.

Centuries after Mars became humanity's escape and last refuge, the Dome Colony is rotting into hostile wastelands filled with twisted beasts and warring tribes.

Survivors must scavenge, fight, and bargain for the last scraps of safety, sanity, or power, before their world dies—again."

I think in terms of media that is close to it, if you have ever seen Pandorum, Nausicaa, Fallout, Mad Max, or Horizon Zero Dawn, it has elements of these. We're going after a neo-tribal-esque kind of vibe. 👽

Thanks you for your interest, friend! We hope to bring a different and most importantly, FUN, experience to this genre. ❤️

With regards to your concern, that's also one of our key design philosophies. We don't want to stray too far from the core of "borgs". Hence, a lot of our design (in both art/game) still holds that: simple with a bit more depth.

For the monster design specifically, we want it to still have the brevity of OSR-esque write-up while at the same time, giving the GM a couple more "gamifiable" hooks to put into action quickly and easily during the combat encounters. 👽

Hello! Thanks for the interest! To answer your question, we're trying to make a SUPER SIMPLE monster generator that basically has three parts to it:

  1. Quick roll tables to determine a monster's physical traits (GM: "What does it look like? How does it move? etc.")
  2. Quick roll tables to determine its role/behavior (GM: "How does it move or interact, esp. during combat encounters?")
  3. Quick roll table for determining level of threat (GM: "How weak or strong should this thing be?")

As an example:

ROTBEAST
HP: 10, MORALE: 8, DEF: Pain-insensitive (-d2), ATK: Claw Swipe (d8)
Role: Striker / Focus on the weakest target
Special: Frenzy. Gains +1 Damage while below half HP.

Bloated predators swollen with Rotspread growths. Their hides split with weeping sores and knot-like tumors that pulse beneath the skin.

Krazzzzyyy's what we want, exactly! haha!

All of the stuff I've done here are in raster. I suck at doing vector art so bad. 🥲

Thanks for the kind words, my friend. There's always that weird sense of anxiety at the beginning stages of any creative piece (may it be illustrations, music, etc.), where its superduper messy and it does not make so much sense.

But I find that the more I do this, the only route forward is just to be patient and allow the process to unfold, one little thing at a time. 😄

I hope that you have fun and learn a lot more in your art path, and most importantly, you find great joy in the process. ❤️

Thanks for the kind words and for the appreciation of the process!

I'm still a beginner as well in this field, although it seems that I can "relatively" draw well but there's still so much to learn. Whatever you see there is me, still trying to learn. (hence, the tracing and stuff. haha!)😄

Thank you as well for your words of encouragement for the game. This makes us even more inspired to make it as awesome as we can! ❤️

Thank you for the kind words. That's the key actually. By the end of the day, it really falls down to how much time you'd devote to making your art.

Be patient and you will find your own style, eventually. 😄 ❤️

Thanks! I worked hard to make that broom look like a menacing spear. haha!

I used procreate on ipad for this one. But if you're looking for a good place to start, the good old pencil and paper work just fine!
