Sage's Projects

Have I not updated the site in a while? It's not because I've stopped caring!! I just have so much other stuff I'm also working on! I am almost always hard at work on a creative project, but the sheer number of them and the fact that I can only focus on one at a time means that any specific one is likely to sit idle more often than it gets actively updated. But I do always cycle back around to them. If you really want me to work on a certain project, I respond well to positive encouragement, and you might get lucky and catch me as I'm getting ready to switch tracks, haha.

Here is a (probably not complete, but I'm doing my best!) list of other projects I've got going.

Storytelling and worldbuilding and stuff

Interactive Fiction

By interactive fiction, I don't mean like video games (although I do like making those too!). These are linear works of fiction, but the interaction of readers directly impacts the direction of the story. It's really fun to have readers fully control the protagonist, forcing me to improvise and adapt in my storytelling!

• You Have Lost Your Memory - A webcomic of sorts, hosted on MSPFA and loosely styled after MSPA, but I definitely wouldn't consider it a fanwork by any means. It's set up the way it is because it's reader-suggestion-driven, and that's about the only place you can find readers who are used to that story format. I won't be revealing any plot or worldbuilding info here, since that would sort of defeat the point.
• Brimstone - Case in point for reader-suggestion-driven work being next to impossible to get off the ground outside of MSPFA, I rebooted Brimstone (it originally ran on Amino, but I'd rather eat nails than go on there again) at the same time as I started YHLYM, and only one of them has actually gotten to continue. I'm sure it wouldn't take much for it to start building momentum, though. Brimstone is about an Angel Dragon (it started on Angel Dragon Amino, lol), who is the holy but slightly rebellious mount of a low-ranked wingless angel.
• HoofSpell - A Homestuck fan-adventure where some ponies play SBURB. It's been cancelled, but I'm including it here anyway as a teaser of sorts, as I intend to reboot it as part of the Ponyville project. You may be wondering, what? You're gonna cross that over with Homestuck? To which I respond, yeah. The original show was already borderline-canon crossed over with Doctor Who and Star Trek. Discord is literally, canonically, Q from Star Trek, just going by different names in different universes. There's gonna be crossover stuff in mine too. Most of it will be easter eggs though.

Non-Interactive Fiction

I don't really write a lot of standard fic myself, but I do like working with my friends who do.

• Xx_RageFox_xX - This is the AO3 page for one of my best friends in the universe, Rage! I copyedit most of his writing, and we also have a collaborative fic that will get published on his page... eventually. (He's already written a lot, I'm just slacking on editing ^^;)
• Snapcube Sonic graphic novelizations - No link because this is still in the early planning stages, but I thought this might be a fun and interesting adaptation challenge. I like adapting things into new contexts almost as much as I like making new and original stuff. The Snapcube Real-Time Sonic Fandubs really only work in the medium they're in. The jokes especially tend to rely on the specific quirks of being video online, of being an exercise in improvisation, of being new audio over existing Sonic footage. So what would it take to make jokes like "visible rendered blood" and "this looks like Pumpkin Hill" and the entire GMod sequence work in a text-and-static-image-based format, where the words mismatching the images comes off as insincere because the reader knows everything was created together from the ground up? And while I'm challenging myself, I might as well see if I can weave all the unrelated running gags into a coherent continuous plotline. Yeah, don't count on this one ever actually coming out, haha. But I wanted to mention it because I do still spend a decent amount of time on it.

Video Games and Video Game Adjacent Fiction

I love video games. Sure would like to finish one someday.

• Lune RPG - No link because it's still in early development. This is an RPG I've been working on for a while, but most of that time has been split between writing the worldbuilding and trying to figure out how to use RPGMaker, so I don't have a demo yet. It is technically a Sonic the Hedgehog fanwork, but only one actual Sonic character actually appears, and I will likely change her name in the final game to dodge IP infringement. The whole story takes place in the Lune dimension - Think a version of Moebius for Blaze's Sol dimension - where the sun disappeared, leaving the planet to freeze over and drift through space.
• Stellarium Menagerie - No link because this is something I don't even know how to approach actually making yet. I have a lot of game design elements laid out in a planning document, though. It's basically yet another Pokemon-inspired critter-catching game, but there are a few details I hope will set it apart from the absolute mass of those that are getting made lately. It kind of goes in the opposite direction from Casette Beasts (one of my favorite games ever btw, go play it!). I want every single creature you catch to feel like a unique individual no matter how many of the same species you get. I'm also aiming for a not-so-cottagecore forest witch aesthetic and a space-fantasy setting.
• The Great Catsby - No link because it's still in early development. A visual novel where the player takes the role of Nick in the Great Gatsby. Also, everyone is furries, and there is at least one ending where Catsby survives through the power of gay love. I've been planning this one for ages but it tends to stay on the back burner. Over time I'd like to do a whole series of furry visual novels based on classic literature that has entered the public domain.
• Dating simulator about Knuckles the Echidna - No link, probably ever. I started making this one as a joke and I have a few friends who really want me to keep working on it but I'll be real I get too flustered and embarrassed while I'm trying to write it.

Other stuff

Tools and Toys

Sometimes I program stuff that isn't narrative-driven games.

• Computer Tarot - Just a little tarot deck simulator I made in Ren'Py. It's set to private on itch because I'm just not happy with it in its current state, but by popular demand from my friends, it can be accessed with the password knucklehead if you really want to see it. My friends all seem to really like it already, but I just feel like I have so much to clean up before I make it truly public.
• Computer Augur - A similar project to Computer Tarot, based on my beloved augur by Caro Asercion. It's actually in a much better state already than Computer Tarot, but I have some bugs to fix before I put it on itch, so no link yet. Somewhat related: I ported augur to a Tabletop Simulator mod.
• Soul and Everything Is Bouncy - A pair of atrocious games I made as class projects in high school. They are really not good, but you are invited to try them anyway, if only to see how far I've come since. I do think I was right to be proud of them at the time, considering they were my first ever attempts at making this kind of video game.
• The mini applet collection - No link. I was much better at making text-based C++ console applets than sprite-based action games in high school. I have some that I'm hoping I can retrieve and remake in Python or HTML5 or something, because they were genuinely fun and useful. Back then I especially got a lot of use out of my warrior cats name generator, my crackship generator, and my infinity dice.

General Art Projects

This is stuff like original species that have no worldbuilding, and that kind of thing.

• Helix Dragons - No link because there's not really a centralized place to look at them yet. Maybe they'll live on this website someday? I'm really passionate about this original species, but people really don't seem that interested, so they tend to wind up on the back burner. Basically, it's a highly diverse dragon species with hand-calculated genetic code. Any two dragons, as long as they aren't related, can be bred together to create totally unique offspring. There's a lot of recessive genes that can skip generations and stuff like that.

Alterhuman community projects

If you don't know what these words mean, this section isn't for you, so don't worry about it.

• The Alterhuman Web (working title) - An archive/directory of currently active alterhuman social spaces and resources.
• Alterdirect - A discord server, designed to serve as a directory of alterhuman discord servers, making use of the elegant embedding of server links within discord.
• Adults of Mobius - An 18+ discord server for Sonic the Hedgehog fictionfolk.
• New Tamriel - An 18+ discord server for Elder Scrolls fictionfolk.

Secret Projects

There are some projects that I'd prefer to publish anonymously, so they won't be getting described or linked here. However, I would like to be able to use this page as a personal reference when I'm thinking about what to work on, so here is a list of keywords to remind me of each secret project.

• telescope
• funeral

And of course... There is also always the possiblity I'm just spending 16 hours a day playing Rimworld or The Sims or Skyrim...
