I had an absolute blast at INDIGO!🎮
As a #jungian#writer & newcomer to the #gameindustry it was awe-inspiring to meet so many talented folk & learn about the creative work they do for the #indiegames & #gamedev community!

In #VivianAmberville 's #darkfantasy universe, Æbe'trax is a rare metallic ore found in the deepest caverns of Ærria.
Dubbed as "thought made flesh" & "the most dangerous metal in reality", Æbe'trax can summon into existence the most dominant thought in your awareness. #deeplore
If anyone is interested in a more detailed breakdown of both my #writingporfolio & my journey as a bestselling author (from early youth to now), there is a public Patreon post where I discussed all the books, stories & projects mentioned in this post. ❤️

I'll be at both #INDIGO (Rotterdam, NL) & #Gamescom (Köln, DE) this year. Come by & say hi!
If you love #books or #videogames, or are working in the game industry, I'd love to have a chat & exchange notes!🎮
For Gamescom, I'll be around the place on 27 Aug. Hope to c u there!👾
I haven't been very active on social media b/c of doing a slew of creative cool things.🎨
A lot of these projects are new, ambitious & cosmically terrifying. They give me terrible anxiety, but also make me come alive. Here's a few:
I'd love to hear what y'all have been up to!🥰
My Patreon community's been asking this for YEARS. Maybe it's time to make it happen.
I'm going to dip my little toe into the #gameindustry & see if there's any chance of a #videogame adaptation of my successful dark fantasy book series, Vivian Amberville.
Time to go to work!
#FunFacts A colourful part of #VivianAmberville's #darkfantasy universe is Kaap, the Hole-in-the-Wall.
Not only can this intelligent shapeshifter morph into any creature imaginable, but he can become walking-talking "holes/burrows"🕳️and even tunnel through the fabric of reality.
@LouiseBlackwick It was such an honor to meet & have a small chat with bestselling author @LouiseBlackwick yesterday.
Her Jungian stories (5Stars, The Underworld Rhapsody or the Vivian Amberville series) have shaped the kind of artist I am today.
Thank you so much for making time for us fans!🫶
6) GOD IS A ROBOT (7/11)
- a humorous sci-fi with an all robot cast set in a world where humans are long extinct.
- this story has a dark history behind it due to some bad licensing agreements.
- it is currently in the publisher's pipeline & will arrive in your hands soon enough
10) THE BOOK OF CHAOS (11/11)
- my most successful & most complex book to date
- has 16 subplots, 9 fully-fledged fictional languages, 200+ characters, 20+ magic systems & 8 time loops (one a quintuple timeloop, the other a trifecta)
- if Harry Potter was written by H.P Lovecraft
9) 5 STARS (10/11)
- this book was my love letter to the videogame art form
- every plot device emulates the logic & mechanics of videogames (collision boxes, shrinking arena, AI overlord, giant mech spider, plasma katanas)
- written in a new genre called "neon science-fiction"
I wasn't always a full time #author with several successful books in print. (1/11)
Truth be told, I failed 100x more than I succeeded.
But some of the projects I worked on have paved the way to the artist & writer I am today.
Here's a quick timeline of some of my projects:
