I’ve spent over 30 years in the building and construction industry.

I know what hard work feels like.

Early mornings. Long days. Heat, cold, rain, dust, sore muscles, deadlines, difficult jobs and plenty of days where you just had to keep going until the work was finished.

But there’s something slightly ironic I’ve discovered over the last 18 months.

Writing Exivum is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.

I’ve spent thousands of hours writing, rewriting, researching, solving problems, building characters, histories, technologies, spacecraft, planets, political systems, physics, music and an entire fictional universe where everything has to connect and remain consistent.

Some days I can work on it for hours and finish completely mentally exhausted, only to realise I’ve solved one tiny piece of a much larger puzzle.

Construction wears out your body.

Exivum wears out your brain. 😆

And somehow, after 30 years on building sites, there are days when construction almost feels like the easier job.

Almost.

But I love creating this universe.

Every difficult chapter, every rewritten scene, every equation, every piece of music, every ship and every tiny detail is slowly turning something that once existed only in my imagination into something other people can experience.

18 months in, thousands of hours behind it, and there is still so much more to build.

Apparently I never really left construction.

I just started building universes instead.

If you could step into a universe built with this much detail, history, science and mystery… what would make you want to stay?

@otokyo__ Tranquillity 2. That’s what I called humanity’s first Mars colony base in Exivum, established in 2039. A small nod to where humanity first stepped onto another world.

57.3 metres. A matte-black hull. A freighter remade by Elias Vera and Grady Fess.

The Stellar Hawk is more than the space between destinations.

@Georgia_07os Anywhere between 4 and 7 for the colony

If humanity discovered the ruins of an extinct alien civilisation tomorrow, what would frighten you more: finding out how they died, or finding out they knew we were coming?

Do you like this 3D art sculpture I made with Blender and UE5 tools?

@realDonaldTrump Supreme Intelligence sounds great 😆, but I’d vote GI: Greater Intelligence — or NBI: Non-Biological Intelligence. Once intelligence can evolve beyond its original design, ‘artificial’ starts describing its ancestry more than its identity.

@sama Can't wait to reveal what this technology has helped me build

🚀 EXIVUM is expanding beyond the page.

This promo is a first look at the universe I’ve been building across writing, publishing, 3D modelling, cinematic environments, ships, worlds, and the growing https://t.co/vno44XkFQF website.

I'd genuinely love to hear what you think.

My first modelled sci-fi corridor made using Blender

[J.P Keogh @Exivum]

Humanity has always crossed the horizon.
Once by sail.
Now by fire.
The destination has changed…
but the instinct hasn’t.

To the explorers of today, and to NASA—
this is more than a mission.
It’s the continuation of a story that began long before us.
A story written by those who looked beyond the horizon and chose to go anyway.
We’re watching the next chapter begin.

@Kekius_Sage It’s likely a contained energy loop, not a free beam. Too long and the field weakens, too short and it becomes unstable — Kylo Ren’s saber looks like what happens when that balance fails
