Fellow Science Lovers, Gaming update: No updates this time. I’m absorbed with writing and revising Scribes Emerge. Geometric Journey In Scribes’ Descent, we find this headscratcher: Mallory reclined against a sloped column and took in the surreal maze of her surroundings, her fear tapering off into wonder. She’d studied similar shapes in advanced geometry, but never imagined… Continue reading What’s an apeirohedron?

Fellow Science Lovers, Gaming update: No updates this time. I’m absorbed with writing and revising Scribes Emerge. What is an Echo? In Scribes’ Descent, why is there a mention of some rooms echoing and not others? To answer this, let’s take a closer look at sound. Or perhaps a closer listen.   An echo is reflected sound. Unless the… Continue reading Echoless Chambers in the Bioprison

Fellow Science Lovers, Gaming update: I fixed a bug where Mallory gets stuck in her falling animation after getting hurt. And she now spawns in the correct part of the Research Deck when she jumps back up to it from the Entrance.  Turn-by-Turn Directions In chapter thirty-six of Scribes’ Descent, Mallory hears explicit, step-by-step directions from the Voice… Continue reading Mallory Hears the Voice

Fellow Science Lovers, Happy Easter! Gaming update: Still hard at work on book 3. I hope to fix some minor bugs soon (especially the one where Mallory gets stuck in her falling animation after some jumps.) Fish like it Cold? In chapter five of Emolecipation, a gondola mole named Weeb says, “There’s fish. Cold currents from the Quasen Ocean… Continue reading Why Does Cold Water Support More Marine Life?

What’s a Gorizen? The first page of Emolecipation has this: “He’d rather throw himself in the ocean than end up on another gorizen plantation. Gorizen. Now there was a corrupted fruit! One slip of the hand and its poison barbs could kill a man.” And Scribes’ Descent describes it further: “Two concentric shells and poison sap between them, all protecting… Continue reading Gorizen Sap is Dangerous (brutal botany)

What’s a siphonophore? In chapter 22 of Scribes’ Descent, Boxer says, “The glowy things’re in the shape of a box again. I wonder if they’re a colonial species, like siphonophores in the sky.” The word siphonophores is so unusual that many readers may assume it to be a fictional term, but these exist on Earth. Here are some photos: Stephanomia… Continue reading Siphonophores

Probe Swarms Chapter 3 of Scribes’ Descent says that Mallory’s mom writes code to help probes find another wormhole, but the book gives no further detail about it. If you’ve been wondering what programming code has to do with space probes, you’ve come to the right place! To search new areas of space for an undiscovered wormhole, the… Continue reading How Mallory’s Mom Searches for New Wormholes

Hello Earth Dwellers, this is Mallory Leighyan. For you new folks, I’m the main character of Scribes’ Descent. Unlike Boxer, who hijacked this newsletter two months ago, I got Dylan’s permission to write this month’s newsletter. I hope you don’t mind. I just arrived last week–Dylan plucked me out of the Scribeverse and set me down in your universe.… Continue reading Earth is weird

I see that Boxer helped himself to my newsletter last month. Don’t tell him I said this, but I was hoping he’d do that.  Maybe I’ll leave my laptop unattended for him again some other month. Gaming update: I’ve made many more art improvements to the game and am almost done changing all of Mallory’s animations… Continue reading Managing Water Level in an Underground Reservoir

Boxer here. Dylan left his laptop unlocked and walked away to pet his kitties, so I’m taking over his newsletter this month. Shhh! Don’t tell him. All 1,920 of you can keep a secret, right? Gaming update: Dylan has worked ’til the indecent hours of night to give you the biggest update yet–now you can fight the ragna… Continue reading Easter Eggs in Scribes’ Descent, Part 2
