✭WELCOME to my CYBERZONE✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭
I'm Mervyn, here are a few of my recent favorite pieces, as an introduction:
SENRITSU KAIKI FILE KOWASUGI RPG mockup, featuring the slit-mouth woman "you may not know it, but you are a creature of unbound love, too good for this world that would take your blood without a prayer or tear. Take in the warm wind now, and hear the song it sings through the grass at your feet, and know the words I tell you through my hand pressed yo your heart and your head. You are loved, you are heard, you are felt." KAIRO (2001) poster, cluttered with computer windows and red tape The Bachelor performs an autopsy on the so-called immortal man, as citizens of the town watch closely (Pathologic, 2005)

Sincerely criminally underrated. I'll check out Look Outside, too!

They're both standalone stories, and Cam's work ties together between the games and comics in a way that makes you feel equally familiar with all the characters no matter where you start :))

Copper Odyssey 2 is probably my game of the year in case anyone was wondering

I'm right on the verge of falling down the Xanadu hole

Thank you so much for reading!! I think I agree, you're totally right about that, there's a silver lining in that distance inherent to the country being so large

While I keep working on projects, please accept my longer-form review of Kentucky Route Zero, a game I've been thinking about a lot this year and needed to dedicate a memorial to in hopes that maybe I can convince a few more people to try it.

The article is free, also! 💭⬇
Characters sit on a log in the forest, a giant eagle perched next to them but dissected by trees that shift its image into the fore and background in a surreal play on visual perspective

This is so sweet, thank you so much 🥺

Yeah!! I think OFF and MOON are the two most-cited inspirations for modern subversive-indie-style RPGs, which rules. Undertale actually has a lot of resemblance to MOON in terms of addressing RPG tropes, but I think OFF gets more headline credit just because it's the more accessible of the two

Got my newsletter post up for free this month, I show off some exclusive RPG drawings, a look into what I'm working on privately, and I've got a bit of writing appreciating OFF (2025) and the world of Copper Odyssey :)))

There cannot be any living beings in zone 0; hence, I deduce that you are a pure figment of my imagination.
#OFFGame
Sticker sheet of various characters from OFF RPG, including the BATTER, JUDGE, ZACHARIE, ELSEN, and GHOSTS. The sheet is surrounded by knick-knacks, rocks, some paper jack-o-lanterns, and a crochet bird plush

The good news is that I'm feeling justified in getting messier and more "hand-made" with my art in response to A I bullshit, and i think that's led to a nice breakthrough in my personal process

I drew up some OFF stickers, shipping out next week!

I'm really curious about it, and I keep getting recommendations! Realistically I probably won't get a chance to play it for some time, but I could see it being the perfect game for December-January, maybe I'll pick it up around the holidays and binge through some snow days

And by "lightning," of course, I mean Cam Collins' masterpiece printmaking RPG Copper Odyssey, and that new Hazel vid on mangazines

Oh oops I got struck by lightning and now I want to make comics again
