Shane Press (The Draconic Author) is a writer hoping to publish his first novel. Here you may find a glimpse of what he's working on, including conceptual artwork and chapter previews. There will likely end up being some form of Video Game reviews and such as well. If you like high fantasy novels, dragons, tales of heroics, and perhaps some amateur video game reviewing, you may find this to your liking.
Hi everyone! Another quick update! I recently created a Facebook page specifically for my content! I've been thinking about doing so for a while but it always seemed daunting and for people who actually were succeeding financially with their content. Well, no more! The page is up and I even dropped a little cash to promote my new page across Facebook. I'm very excited to be moving forward with my 'career' as a content creator. Thanks for reading!
Click here to check out the Facebook page! Give it a like and follow me to get updates when I post links back here and from my Youtube Channel.
Howdy folks! It's been a while since I did a proper post. That's because I've been focusing on making YouTube videos of myself playing some fun games I've gotten over the summer. So I wanted to update people on what I have planned for future content on my blog AND my YouTube Channel (which you can find HERE!) All plans subject to change. "The best-laid plans of mice and men oft go awry." - Robert Burns, 'To a Mouse'
So my plans moving forward are:
A return to a weekly blog post.
I have plenty of things going on so I should be able to write about most of them
One of them is a 'survivor's log' that will go along with a game I'm playing.
Game reviews? All kinds, not just video games. Send suggestions of things I should play!
Weekly/Bi-Weekly Livestream on my YouTube Channel.
I have two survival-type games I really like streaming right now, 'Subnuatica' and 'FortNite.' Subnautica my wife enjoys, so I want to do Wednesday evening 'Wive Streams' where I play and my wife comments. FortNite is a more arcade style 3rd person shooter with zombie-survival elements that is just fun. FortNite Fridays may become a thing.
At least 1 recorded video a week.
I have Diablo III, FortNite, a Subnautica 'Survivor's Log', and even a Kerbal video series I want to continue, so I hope to post at least one of these videos a week.
Also game reviews. I keep buying Early Access to games I intend to review. I should review them!
Write more book!
I'm Draconic Author for a reason, right? Write? WRITE!
Catch up on the backlog of blog posts I wanted to right, started, but never finished.
Of mice and men, folks... Am I right?
Also, serious question for readers I'd love you to answer in comments:
What else should I write about/video blog about? Never done a video blog, but that would be fun. It would be super awkward at first since I don't have a good camera, and since I've never done video blogging before. But I'd love feedback/suggestions.
So I hope I'm back! Need to keep this creative inertia! Thanks for reading!
**Edit: Forgot to add some of my plans to the list
Shane, the Draconic Author, takes command of the Kerbal Space Program. Some one get this man a pilot's license. Suggest scenarios and mods in comments!
Hello again! It's been a while since I posted last and before you ask, yes, I know I have a half a dozen other posts to finish. My attention is so scattered I'm proud of myself just for finishing this one. That said, I've got all kinds of news!
First off, I've finally started making YouTube videos. I got my computer to cooperate and have posted around 6 videos where I play either Fractured Space, a space MOBA with big ships and lots of explosions, or Crypt of the NecroDancer, a fun and addictive Rhythm/Rogue-Like where you move to the beat to slay monsters and advance the simple but compelling story, rescuing people! Check out one of my runs below, using the character of Bard who doesn't have to move to the music.
Seriously, what? Not like there are monsters down h-
Secondly, yes, I'm still finishing the "Story in Parts." That was largely derailed by January being hectic and then my 'taking a break' through most of February. It has not been forgotten or stopped, simply delayed. That said, many other delayed and pending pages are still being worked on. Motivation and focus have been premiums and I spent them on YouTube most of this month because I wanted to incorporate video into my blog. Now that the ground work for that has been laid, I will try to share my creative impulses between both mediums.
Thirdly, this weekend is NerdCon: Nerdfighteria! I will be attending and plan to record as much as I can, take pictures, and post blogs day of from my hotel room. Wish me luck! If you happen to be going to please comment! Would love to say hi!
Lastly, what I plan to do in the near future, A Review of a recently opened Early Access (Alpha) game Conan Exiles will be coming soon. Exiles is a survival game similar to Ark in a lot of ways (though I haven't played it) minus dinosaurs. It's based on Robert E. Howard's many short stories about Conan, a barbarian adventurer he wrote about in the late 1920's and early '30s which have subsequently made into three movies (two of which star Arnold Schwarzenegger and the third Jason Momoa) and a few earlier video games. More on that in the full review. I'm also planning to review the LEGO Batman movie, and if I can, John Wick: Chapter 2.
Until all this stuff happens: Best Wishes and Don't Forget To Be Awesome!
