Alright, I've decided: I'm going to make a game. May I introduce to you the key art for "CyberStrykers: Gaia Protocol".

It'll be a turn-based RPG; set in a cyberpunk world with emerging magic. And, of course, as a novelist, story is one of the most important aspects to me--and will be a major component of this game. It's a concept I've been working on in the background.

You'll follow the story of Ruby Torres--imprisoned for a murder she didn't commit. To her, it feels like the whole planet hates her. How ironic, then, that she is the reincarnation of Gaia--and it's her fate to save it.

Of course, I'm one guy. I need to keep the scope small, and in an art style I can manage. As such, it will feature sprite character art (as seen in this key art) in a low-res 3D environment. Unity as the game engine.

Fun fact, if you didn't know this about me: I went to school for game dev. I have a 3+1 year Advanced Diploma in game development, and have worked as a software developer for a decade--the first quarter of which actually was in the games industry (albeit as a mobile game dev).

I miss making games. I love designing games. Building levels. Diving deep into the lore.

I'm not promising a timeline. Even with a tight scope, this will take a long time to develop. Especially juggling a full-time job, writing novels, and my Youtube channel--but forward I will march. I'll show you guys everything I do as I work on it, sans spoilers. So follow me if you want to see it progress.

I took my GT Land Racer out for a 20km test ride! Video's up on my channel:

Tweaked the design to make it more readable, and upped the saturation by 35%. Much more cyberpunk-y.

So I've been experimenting with pixel art. My first sprite attempt, inspired by the style of Poetry of Blood.

Room for improvement, but not bad for a first try!

I finished writing my second novel!

First draft, anyway. Final word count: 57,357. Needs some bulking up in revisions.

But I did it! Gonna spend the next two weeks or so editing, then query in October

I dub it the GT Land Racer. It rips. By far my favorite DIY electric rideable I've ever built.

Basically just a GT Snow Racer that I bolted electric skateboard parts to.

Took it out for a 25km endurance test. Video drops in a couple days!

I did an author interview!

Introduce yourself! My name’s Mike. I’m a web developer by day, would-be author and YouTuber by night.With my novels, I’m very character-driven in my writing. I’ve found my …

I started writing what I THOUGHT was the last chapter of my current novel; as I wrote it, I decided it needed to be split into two chapters to allow the ending to have time enough to breathe.

Hopefully tonight will be when I can say "I finished writing my second novel!"

I'm excited to report that my first novel, The Storyteller, is now LIVE for sale! Available in both paperback and Kindle e-book. It's also available on Kindle Unlimited for those that subscribe.

Find it linked in the comments.

"The Storyteller is a legend among law enforcement — a woman who can read crime scenes like a novel and tell their story.

FBI trainee Quinn Hunt idolizes her. Until her very first case drops the legend right in her lap — broken, scarred, and a dead ringer for the woman that just executed a man in broad daylight.

As Quinn struggles to reconcile her idol with reality, their chance encounter spirals into a deadly conspiracy rooted in a twenty-year-old government bioengineering program called TWELVE MONTHS. The Storyteller is far more than a myth. She’s just the tip of the iceberg. And someone who looks exactly like her is determined to bury the truth — and her — for good.

Quinn knows she's in over her head. As the killer closes in, The Storyteller's fate is in her hands. And as the two women unravel the secrets of the TWELVE MONTHS project, they grow closer — a liability Quinn can't afford.

But in a world built on lies, it might be the one thing that keeps them alive.

Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient and the Orphan X series, The Storyteller is a gripping thriller about identity, perseverance, and the dangerous cost of playing God."

It's a character-driven thriller with a speculative biotech conspiracy angle. If that sounds up your alley, I encourage you to check it out! This is the first of many novels, both in this series and otherwise.

I cooked really hard on it, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
