I, uh, may have gotten a little carried away with this

This is what my document currently looks like in Affinity Publisher, and it's not even half done

A few little updates!

I've pushed some very early development work on the text of the mission, which you can see on the DEMON CORE page, and here on the Devlog: https://xavierck.itch.io/demon-core/devlog/485852/demon-core-v0023

Here's some more art development work:

Hey these are great suggestions! I'm definitely planning on adding more small details like those, especially changing the redacted bits to feel more hand-drawn. I'm waiting to get to the final PDF formatting stage before I get to that, though.

Thanks for the great recommendations!

In case anyone would like to use it, I've bashed together a logo for CYCLOPS that I'm going to be using in a few places in my zine. You're free to use it in any way you could use other existing FIST work.

If you'd like a vector version, here's an SVG file you can download from my Google Drive.

Hey all! This is my first gam jam on here, so I hope I'm doing everything right.

I'm working on a mission module called Demon Core. FIST has been called into action to dispose of weapons targeting the 1983 G7 Summit, and in the process they find the pieces of the notorious Demon Core from the Manhattan project. Officially it was supposed to have been melted down and used for other experiments in 1946, but clearly the official story doesn't match the reality.

Over the course of the mission, the players will face off against multiple CYCLOPS agents along with the deranged and malefic intelligence that infests the radioactive Demon Core.

I'm still hashing out some of the beats and general text, so I've gone ahead and gotten started with some of the graphical elements:

Thanks!

For the grungy texture, I looked up "photocopy texture" and used that as the basis for some simple color masks in Photoshop. By overlaying some black and white and doing levels adjustments, I was able to make it look like a second- or third-generation photocopy.

I'm planning on using similar stuff for most of the graphics in the module, like these ones:

Hey! First time I'll be entering a jam here on Itch, so I'm still feeling things out. That said, I'm planning a little mission module I'm tentatively calling Demon Core. I'm going to be making a few single-page maps, some CYCLOPS operatives, and a few new weapons. The plan is for it to be somewhere between 4-8 pages and printable in black and white or very basic color.

The general idea is that the Demon Core wasn't actually melted down for other Manhattan Project experiments, but was instead the target of some spacetime shifting experiments, and now it's in the hands of CYCLOPS-backed terrorists targeting the 1983 G7 Summit. The players have to dispose of the two halves of the Demon Core, and they run afoul of CYCLOPS operatives.

Here's the first draft of the cover image:
