Machinery of Magic - My Upcoming Science Fiction Novel
My name is Noah Kuntz and I'd like to introduce you to my upcoming Science Fiction novel: Machinery of Magic. You can sign up for my mailing list here: www.nkuntzauthor.com/mach1
Here's the blurb for the book:
Locke Edwards works secretly to maintain the technology behind the world of Loreia. Unaware of the complex machinery that make their “magic” possible, the Loreians live in a paradise of fantasy and adventure.
As a mechanic, Locke loves tinkering with the tech that makes magic real. Until the people of Loreia start killing each other. When he gets caught in the midst of a fight between rival factions of magicians, he breaks the most fundamental rule of the mechanics: Never interfere in the lives of guests.
Chastised, and at risk of a complete memory wipe, Locke begins to question everything he stands for. The feud on Loreia boils over to war, but the mechanics are ordered not to intervene. Locke faces a stark choice: follow orders and silence his conscience, or put his life on the line to protect the people of Loreia.
The cover art was created by a talented digital artist named Christopher Buesch. If you're interested in reading the book, please follow and consider joining my mailing list, there's a link in the bio. I will release the hardcover July 4th, and also plan to offer a chance for a free early review copy of the ebook to folks on my mailing list. Then the paperback and ebook will launch for sale on August 1st.

    About the red and yellow pieces: is it possible that the older ones reflecting UV is due more to aging than the actual pigments in the plastic? UV degradation is caused by absorption of the UV light; is it possible that the "yellowing effect" that's so prominent especially in white bricks goes hand-in-hand with an increase in UV reflectivity? That would explain those bricks that are in the midrange between the glowing ones and the non-glowing ones. Now that I'm writing this, it also piques my curiosity the potential difference between flouresence (uv->visible) and uv reflectivity (near-uv that just gets reflected, and we can somehow see it without conversion to a different wavelength).

  • @komivalentine3067
    @komivalentine3067 Рік тому

    Trans Neon are the best colors (^_^) I really wonder If the new bricks are designed to age faster. If they absorb UV light it has to affect the material in some way ...

    You forgot to put a fire tile on C4 after the scorpion got pushed. :P Amazing work, it looks very authentic at functional at the same time! For gameplay reason it might worth adding identification tiles - like small numbers or letters on 1x1 or bit larger flat plates - so that it would be easier to match a vek and the grid tile they are attacking. On top of that an attack order number is a must!

    I love this game. Amazing how it can generate puzzles on the fly with such simple rules that you can replicate even using Lego. For the mountains, you need 3 stages. Since they’re so different, it’s best to take bits off. Have a loose connection at the base, and another to the block in the centre of the mountain.

    If that scorpion was already on fire when you pushed it with the flame mech then the beginning of turn fire damage would kill it. 🙂
