Starting in May 2019 as part of his Dev Diary series, Croshaw pledged to prototype a different game design each month for twelve months with a video diary released every fortnight. [30] World: The world building is solid, it’s well built and thought out and there is no info dumping at. Readers learn this world from multiple characters making the world fairly alive and real without the need to explain it. The stage is set and the internal logic for the magic system is thought out well. It’s a fun world where more stories would interest me in the future.

On 26 December 2010, Croshaw revealed that he was working on a second novel. [71] "It's about an apocalypse. WITH JAM IN IT." [72] On 25 April 2012, Croshaw announced the novel, titled Jam. It was published by Dark Horse Books and released on 23 October 2012. [73] The concept for the novel can be seen in the Zero Punctuation review [ citation needed] of the survival horror game Dead Island where he says that people would not be able to cope if civilization ends in any other way than a zombie apocalypse. He then mentions the idea of the entire world getting covered in "carnivorous jam". [74] Croshaw has stated that Jam is tangentially related to Mogworld but is not a sequel.

The story continues from Differently Morphous where the public has knowledge of extra-dimensional entities and magic, and the consequences thereof; they have rights, and a law passes where fake magic is punishable if it's not real. The main plot follows a mystery regarding a faith healer, a young girl called Miracle Meg, who's cult, for want of a better term, has a large online following by livestreams hosted by the head priest, her father, Miracle Dad, and how she seemingly breaks the established rules of magic healing. She doesn't rapidly age with its use, and claims to be in dual-consciousness with an ancient without hideous deformities. They also come into conflict with the Christian Church.Interesting fact #1: I'm not a fan of writers narrating their own works. Unless that writer happens to be Yahtzee Croshaw. If Mogworld works for you, this will, too. Broken Masquerade: The fluidic's mass-migration blows all of the Ministry's careful obfuscation clear out of the water. Much of the plot (and humor) derive from the results of this and society's subsequent shift to incorporate knowledge of the supernatural into their lives. The results are decidedly non-apocalyptic; while something horrible did happen ten years ago (with similar incidents constantly possible due to humanity's close proximity to The Ancients), day-to-day life doesn't change much. Politicians and government workers swoop down to either control the situation or else exploit it for their own benefit, people start heated debates on forums... and life just goes on otherwise.

A magical serial killer is on the loose, and gelatinous, otherworldly creatures are infesting the English countryside. Which is making life for the Ministry of Occultism difficult, because magic is supposed to be their best kept secret. Yahtzee is know for his "scathing" criticisms but here leaves a lot to be desired. his thoughts on political correct Brittan and P.C couture are expressed but in such a way that the author feelings on them are too ambiguous. so the satire part of the book become a annoying distraction. Johnathan Swift he is not! This biography of a living person relies too much on references to primary sources. Please help by adding secondary or tertiary sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful.
