Intro to the All Zones World<\/h1>

The All Zones World is the shared mythological setting connecting the current manuscripts and multimedia projects in development, including Lucid Dragons, Monster Plus Scribbler, and additional adjacent works currently in production.<\/p>

Rather than functioning as a rigid cinematic-style continuity, the All Zones World operates as an interconnected creative ecosystem: a layered reality made up of overlapping regions, fragmented histories, dream geographies, forgotten technologies, living archives, and unstable dimensional territories known collectively as \u201cZones.\u201d<\/p>

Each project explores a different perspective, cultural layer, or region within this larger world. Some stories intersect directly, while others exist in parallel or are connected only through recurring entities, symbols, organisations, myths, or recovered artifacts.<\/p>

The intention is to create a setting that feels ancient, expansive, and partially unknowable \u2014 a world discovered through fragments rather than explained through exposition.<\/p>

Lucid Dragons occupies one region of the All Zones World and focuses on its more mythic and dreamlike aspects: draconic entities, unstable realities, emotional landscapes, and the psychological effects of crossing between zones.<\/p>

Monster Plus Scribbler exists adjacent to these events and territories, exploring another layer of the same ecosystem through creatures, archives, field notes, anomalous regions, and experimental multimedia storytelling structures.<\/p>

The All Zones World is designed to support: \u2022 games \u2022 illustrated fiction \u2022 zines \u2022 devlogs \u2022 experimental short films \u2022 lore archives \u2022 collaborative worldbuilding \u2022 CC-BY\/open-development material<\/p>

A major goal of the project is to blur the line between narrative universe and creative archive. Lore is not only presented through traditional storytelling, but also through: \u2022 recovered documents \u2022 production notes \u2022 creature indexes \u2022 classified reports \u2022 visual fragments \u2022 field recordings \u2022 diagrams \u2022 playable prototypes<\/p>

The setting intentionally embraces ambiguity, contradiction, and mythic uncertainty. Histories may be incomplete. Some zones may not obey stable physical laws. The result is a world that encourages interpretation, speculation, remix culture, and long-term audience participation.<\/p>

The All Zones World ultimately functions as the foundation for a growing independent multimedia studio practice \u2014 one combining game development, storytelling, zine culture, visual experimentation, and open creative collaboration into a single evolving ecosystem \u2013 which is mostly isolated to the Patreon, the Discord and the releases described on, and directed from the website.<\/p>

Monster Plus Scribbler and Lucid Dragons via Patreon and Gumroad, due January 2027 \u2013 solid prototype levels 1-4 of Monster Plus Scribbler due Jan\/Feb 2027 via itch, along with software art project The Machinist Port (a fake terminal that evolves to respond to user commands) due via itch in September 2027.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

1. the infected towns; the world of “the reluctant king” (lovecraft meets resident evil, but g-rated)<\/p>

2. Wayne’s Village; a British village in a dystopian future merged with yeti and fraggle-style culture and a war that won’t go away<\/p>

3. the world of thelm and newlande; the two dimensions in monster plus scribbler<\/p>

4. the ancient mountain where the gods live in my (robert mayer) superfolks-(mixed with a bit of Stephen King-inspired Watchmen) style video game project where all the heroe are ambivalent<\/p>

5. cultural non-fiction<\/p>

6. the world of “teeth” (a tooth fairy curses a man’s mouth.) and “this is not pornography” (a serial killer tries to enjoy life in a country where he doesn’t speak the language.)<\/p>

7. Shards of the Wall (an afterworld.)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
