I'm working with the great @andriylukin.bsky.social to redesign the covers and inside covers of the entire Killtopia series.
In these mad times we live in, I felt this disclaimer was an important addition...

My Spotify app has an AI DJ called Xavier now…
I’m already in the process of rebuilding my playlists on Apple Music, but it’s time to speed that up.

Cheers yeah. I’m not judging them, as it’s their decision in the end. But it wasn’t for me.
I’m just concerned that I’ve killed my only shot to have a TV show 🤔

Folk have recently asked what’s up with the Killtopia TV show that was optioned a while back.
In short: the studio wanted to release NFTs to raise funds for the series. That didn’t sit right with me at all - so it’s not happening now.
Each to their own of course, but I had to stand my ground.

Great delivery from @hollowpress.bsky.social - It’s the 3rd book in their Vermis series.
They’re strategy guides for a Dark Souls-style game series that doesn’t exist.
It’s a brilliant concept, with deep lore, incredible writing, unnerving imagery and well thought out mechanics.
Seek them out 👍
