August Update

Hola

Here we go again...

What I've been

I started working on Time Update, which is to make significant update to essential aspects of Terraloga - from current emperor to the former independent countries. The world date has been stuck for two years and when time passed, things changed. I've put all the list on my discord and if you wanted to see what I'm making you check it out there.

So many of them hadn't been updated since its release. When I found out I realized I could spot any mistakes that the present me wouldn't allow to pass. This is what they called the experience, wasn't it? I hoped that later on more old articles would be fixed to pass my current standard.

Still need a lot of grammars fixing though


Time Update, Vol. 1

  • Rondius IV / Cartius I
  • Protectorate of Garol / Kingdom of Garol
  • Valonian Anriv-Vinor
  • Valonian Centralis
  • Valonian Erkinia
  • Valonian Irgia
  • Valonian Kriton
  • Valonian Ohun
  • Valonian Taestic

  • September Plan

    in this month, I will be continuing on time update but I would slow down a little bit due to schedule conflicts. Instead, I'd do several new small articles. The big one will belong to the community challenge (Institutions of Learning).

  • Time Update (cont.)
  • Institution of Learning
  • Unofficial challenges, maybe
  • Best Wishes

    July Update + Summer Camp

    Greetings.

    And with that, the Summer Camp is over.

    What I've been

    Summer Camp

    First of all, I manage to reach my main goal at COPPER! Secondly, I've submitted a total of 16 prompts all across my main three worlds, meaning I've stretched my goal up to SILVER! What a great challenge despite facing a drag during halfway and sprint the rest hours before the deadline, but it was fun journey all along.

    If you want something to read for leisure or the Reading Challenge (may join) feel free to see all things I made. I'll be appreciated :D

    Summer Camp 2024
    Generic article | Aug 5, 2024

    A Summary of the Summer Camp 2024

    Other then that, I finally finished the main article for my main religion! I hope I can write all the deities by the end of the year, or maybe all of them in WorldEmber :D

    Krin-Gion Pantheon
    Organization | Jul 6, 2024

    The collection of myths and legends told by the people of Krin and Gion, consisting of 10 multipurpose gods and goddesses, spreading across the South Estisia.

    Artfight

    In case you didn't know, Artfight is the annual art competition where everyone draw somebody's art (Attacks) as for them to draw yours back (Revenges). It hold every July - like the Summer Camp! I joined the Team Stardust and had been drawing a total of 3 arts. It's fewer than I expected but it's very fun and I can't wait to join it again next year!


    August Plan

    As you might know from several of my prompts, Terraloga was flash-forwarded! The world has been progress for 30 years, meaning anything has to be changed, including major history events. I'll spend most of the month updating old articles - while choosing carefully to add new one if necessary, which I'll keep notifying. And if you follow me on my discord server you can find its whole list of published articles, my old monthly updates, artworks from the past, and work in progress (P.S. the server is still incomplete)

    • Major Lore update on Terraloga
    • Reading Challenge
    • Revamp my other worlds (if possible)

    Best wishes

    June Update

    Hello

    It's Summer Camp time!

    What I've been

    Everyday felt like a month while waiting for moving out. It's busy as always, with lots of programming, moving stuffs, and making a living.

    I felt that I've become more confidence over the past months. I had a chance to meet my favorite artists who I adored their works for years before WA but never try to do so. It's the feelings I couldn't explain that I could finally meet my idols, and they were very kind.

    On Writing side, I joined a couple my writer friends' Discord servers and met a bunch of my friends' friends, who were very friendly and very helpful. There, I managed to finish draft of my main deities, and I hoped that during Summer Camp I could finish some of them - if not all.

    Speaking of Summer Camp, it is now live! I did all these homeworks to prepare myself as well as reworking some pages. However, the only new material I did in June is the main Summer Camp article. You can check out my progress there:

    Summer Camp 2023
    Generic article | Aug 3, 2023

    A Summary of the Summer Camp 2023


    July Plan

  • Summer Camp 2024
  • Reach 8 prompts, or COPPER badge!
  • Placeholder arts
  • Setting up the next chapter for Terraloga
  • Rework some other worlds
  • Artfight
  • (maybe) Be more active on Twitter
  • Best Wishes

    May Update

    Hello everyone!

    A lot of things happened in May and I couldn't find the way to solve the problems in time. It's the reason I posted this late. I'll talk about it later.

    What I've been?

    First of all, congratulations to all participants and nominees on World Anvil's Worldbuilding Award! Everyone made the great and wonderful piece of works. I was able to make it to shortlist on the timeline category! Even though I didn't win the award I'm still very grateful. I couldn't believe that I can push my work up to that point.

    Check out my entry here:

    Published/Unpublished Works

    All I've published in May was the latest revision of this prose back in 2019. It's about the daily life of the renowned Valonian writer Legna, who was also one of the main characters of Quest for the Power Stone. I wrote it as an in-world texts. I hope you enjoy my prose!

    Daily Life of Valonian: The Journalist
    Prose | May 10, 2024

    Issue of 12th of June, Year 389 (11 BVE)

    Now let's talk about what I haven't done. I promised back in February that I was creating gods and goddesses for my major religion, but like last month, I was unable to finish them in time due to many factors. However, I've drafted several deities on somewhere else. I'm surely hope to post it on WA.

    I also revised Wrath of the Power Stone, one of the Power Stone trilogy and the first one I wrote back in WorldEmber 2022, to match the current plot summary format. Still, in private stage.

    June Plan


     
  • Summer Camp Preparation
  • Artfight Preparation
  • Grow my Patreon

  •  

    World Anvil's Summer Camp is the staple of my writing career since the beginning. It's the annual worldbuilding challenge where we write articles based on prompts they're giving throughout July. I've participated it for 5 years now and it's always a blast.

    Another annual challenge I want to join is Artfight, which is the art competition with unique rules. I saw one of my friends joined it last year, and I think it'll be a blast also.You can learn more about it here:

    I also start working on my Patreon, my new tip jars, after I have major issues with my preferred choice that was Ko-fi :( If you want to show me support please consider donating - it mean so much to me.

    Best Wishes!

      #monthlyUpdate
    Major Life Spoiler

    A lot of things happened in May and early june, all because I couldn't find ways to solve the problems in time. It's the reason I posted this late.

    So, we're going to move out by the end of the year. After a whole year of me unable to find the stable jobs or earn enough cashes to cover up mortgages, we decided to step back tp where we started. We are planning to go back to the old family house not far from here, but with complicated family issue buildng up for the past years, it won't be that easy. I'm sad and upset that we spend almost 2 decades to own nothing.

    Damn, I should've not write these paragraphs, or anything at all, but there's nothing I can do.

    In bright side, it's been a good ride all along, and we don't have to longer worry about mortgages anymore.

    Or shouldn't I? Only time will tell.

    MAY 2024: Monthly update

    Competitions and Challenges

    I've had a ton of fun preparing stuff for the Food, Glorious FOOD! Unofficial Challenge. For me, the culmination came on June 1st, when I assembled all the products to make a bread bowl full of sour rye soup. Why not make it before the deadline? I was having so much fun testing new stuff and... got carried away and lost track of time. XD

    Here is a special candy treat made by and for the loved ones:  

    Honey-nut roses by Angantyr

    A massive shoutout to Makenzie Turney a.k.a. moonflower-writing, who hosted the challenge and a massive thank you to all participants. You can find the submissions in the comment section -- all 20+ bursting with flavour and an inspiring story to share.

     

    Foraging and wildlife

    I managed to find a few species of edible flowers and leaves. Even though there were too few rainy days, I started a series of articles with Foraging inspirations. Mushrooms, pt. 1 -- the lookalikes. Plans for next parts include: peculiar looks and unique biology. Stay tuned for more!

     

    Climbing the WorldAnvil learning curve

    Variables, variables, variables galore. This was my favourite this month as I uesd the Food challenge to write down some quantity-related names. Tables and Content trees were in play as well, but admittedly I didn't give them as much love.

     

    Worldbuilding progress

    A handful of new articles on food, which inspired me to go a bit further into where the food comes from, how it is processed and how it shapes the lives of people in my world.

    The map and the short story have to wait. Apparently it was not their time, yet.

      Overall May has been pretty eventful, both positively and negatively. What I do hope, is that at the very least there come some neat stories out of it!   Cheers and see you in the coming days. SUMMER CAMP IS ALMOST HERE!!!       #MonthlyUpdate #UnofficialChallenge #GloriousFood #UsingWorldAnvil #ForagingInspirations

    April Update (Repost)

    Hello.

    This is a repost.

    There was an unclosed bbcode in my previous global post which affects the whole homepage. So it's been private and now I fixed it. I hope you understand

    And now, back to my update

    What I've been

    My writing was slowed down due to the house crisis I've been facing since last year, and I couldn't focus anything but thinking about a stable income, and I'm currently unemployed. To make things worse, my only income that is Ko-fi was suddenly blocked which I have just fixed as I wrote this.

    Despite that, I had a wonderful Songkran Day - the summer water-splashing festival! It washed away my doubt, and I've never been so fresh in many years!...

    Until the bills came.

    In Worldbuilding Side

    During the Adventure April 2024, I wrote the first story that wasn't plot summaries based on Terraloga, but instead of having a linear storyline, it's a branching storyline,

    That's right. I wrote a replayable interactive story for the challenge! it's called To Rid The Iron Trade. I've promoted it before but I'd like to promote it again because I loved it, and probably you too!

    To Rid the Iron Trade
    Plot | Jul 4, 2024

    You are hired by the Irgia Republic to steal a powerful crystal from the grand palace, which they believe holds the secret of the empire's greatest arsenal. Can you get rich or die trying? You decide!

    I also wrote one article about the former frontier town of Valonia Empire.

    Sartonia
    Settlement | Apr 22, 2024

    The former frontier city, now a popular place for vacation - named after the great king.

    May Plan

    Last month, my mother challenged me to pay our house's electric bill entirely, so I want to focus on turning my world-building projects into something other than writing. I'm so excited to see how many things I can do this month!

    If you want to support me please consider tipping me in Ko-fi and Buy-Me-A-Coffee

  • Writing Krin-Valonian Patheon
  • Doing more arts
  • (Maybe) Youtube stuff
  • Be more productive

  •  

    Best Wishes!

    I drew this to thank everyone who helped me make the shortlist for Best Timeline of Worldanvil's Worldbuilding Awards 2024! I can't wait to get to know the winner on the 18th of May!

    March Update

    Howdy again. #monthlyUpdate

    What I've been

    Well, things stat to complicate, like an endless stream of crisis, meaning I didn't have much time to focus on writing. There's no unofficial challenges I succeeded, and so all my writing goals from last month's plan.

    To be fair, I didn't publish anything except My Worldbuilding Awards 2024's Entries and the additional update on my lovely timeline for such.

    Speaking of awards, thank you so much for all the loves and follows you gave me! it mean a lot. If you love my works, consider support me on my tip jar at Ko-fi.

    April Plan

    April is consider the hot month in my place. Thankfully, lots of water splashing festival, you know what I mean, may cool the weather down for a bit. As I want to be chilled and relax during this time, writing will be a bit less stressful and more focused.

  • Adventure April!
  • Do something with my Ko-fi page
  • More drawings on my Twitter/X
  • I hope everyone have a great, chilling month, and don't forget to keep yourself cool - the sun is a deadly laser.

    P.S. The first voting phase is over. We'll see who will be on the shortlist during the second phase which started on 13th! #wawa2024

    January 2024 Update

    Hello again!

    Last month I've been giving major treatment to Rarmon Dynasty, the reigning royal families. I was spending most of night-time adding monarchs up to the present, with dedicated portraits. With this action, tons of stubs were created - probably more than 20. I've a plan to publish all so the dynasty tree can be clickable. I also have other royal families that connected them.

    Aside from them, I've published several articles, all in Terraloga:

  • Maximus Intertemis
  • Iron Height
  • Myth of The Power Stone
  • The Crystal Empire
  • Ikanos III
  • This year's resolution!
  • I also edited some old one, as well as entires from last year's WE:

  • Rondius Intertemis
  • Ronminar Isles
  • Rondius V
  • February Plan

    To be honest, I've no plan to make progress on the world's storyline at the moment. So I'm going to continue what I've doing since last month.

  • Complete the royal families on Terraloga
  • February's Curiosity Cabinet
  • Complete the Krin-Valonian Pantheon (Maybe)
  • I wish everyone a nice February!
