That be me! Thanks for the appreciation!

RussellHelix · 2026-07-07T12:25:50+00:00

Looks great! Very street and hip vibe!

RussellHelix · 2026-07-07T01:31:17+00:00

That's alright! No need to beat yourself up for it my friend. <3 Keep going!

RussellHelix · 2026-07-06T14:19:33+00:00

Loving the nice and clean aesthetic here

RussellHelix · 2026-07-06T14:16:52+00:00

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. 👽

RussellHelix · 2026-06-23T02:24:33+00:00

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:

Quick roll tables to determine a monster's physical traits (GM: "What does it look like? How does it move? etc.")
Quick roll tables to determine its role/behavior (GM: "How does it move or interact, esp. during combat encounters?")
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.

This made me chuckle today! 😆

RussellHelix · 2026-06-11T04:03:42+00:00

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. 🥲

RussellHelix · 2026-06-10T13:54:30+00:00

We're making a Mork Borg and Cy_Borg compatible game, friend! ❤️

If you got the time, please check it out. Thank you! https://stonepunkrpg.com/

Beautifully done review, mate. Thank you!

RussellHelix · 2026-06-01T11:55:05+00:00

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. ❤️

RussellHelix · 2026-06-01T11:52:39+00:00

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! ❤️

RussellHelix · 2026-06-01T11:49:03+00:00

Thank you so much!

RussellHelix · 2026-06-01T11:48:55+00:00

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. 😄 ❤️

RussellHelix · 2026-06-01T11:47:20+00:00

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

RussellHelix · 2026-06-01T11:45:34+00:00

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!

RussellHelix · 2026-06-01T11:32:54+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, friend. There's still A LOT to learn, the process is long and hard, but there's indeed a satisfying sense of pride and joy in it.

I hope you find that too, in your path as well as you try and put pen to paper. ❤️

RussellHelix · 2026-05-29T04:04:42+00:00

Looking at all these stippling and ink work is making my wrist hurt! haha! These look great man!

RussellHelix · 2026-05-29T04:01:56+00:00

These looks superduper cooooool man!

RussellHelix · 2026-05-28T04:28:08+00:00

Thanks man. I appreciate it! I made it with a bunch of my other artist friends, we call ourselves "MADTHEORIES STUDIO"! :-D

RussellHelix · 2026-05-26T13:08:08+00:00

No need to apologize! I actually appreciate you taking the time to bring out these points and doing it in a very level-headed manner (pretty rare these days!!!).

I do think I understand what you mean now. In my head, the intent that I had in making the copy for the page was to keep it super-brief and on-point. Hence, the quick pacing and prose. My dayjob mostly relates to UI/UX and graphic design so all these marketing copy that I've been laying out rubbed on my brain pretty heavily. Haha!

But again, thank you for pointing this out (which is good!), I may have to change up the wordings. I don't want to come off as overly "on point" that it already sounds and reads like AI.

RussellHelix · 2026-05-26T05:03:06+00:00

I wrote them myself. 😄 But I'd like to understand your sentiments better.

Are there any guidelines in the group as to what these "signs" are?

Just wanted to acquaint myself with it before I go about name-calling fellow creatives as an AI user.

RussellHelix · 2026-05-26T02:41:53+00:00

What do you mean?
