Podcast episodes finally live!

     Hit the first major milestone with this project, which is getting comfortable with a regular release schedule for the podcast episodes! You can check them out on this page here.

    Right now I plan on releasing at least three every week, but the release schedule is highly dependent on other life factors, especially over the next few months. However, I hope to have all that ironed out and I'll be on a regular release schedule by January. I'll keep you updated on how that goes.

    The next step is setting up the Twitch Stream. The general idea is that after every podcast update, I'll go straight into streaming. I'm still trying to figure out a good storage solution for the streams so that people can find past streams to follow anything they missed concerning the development of Capital Clicker, but once that's hashed out, I'll be regularly streaming and starting work on the actual game thereafter.

    Right now, I'm encouraging everyone to visit the Discord if they have any questions or want to participate with the project. I imagine the stream will be low engagement for some time until I become comfortable enough with this whole work flow.

    Anyway, enjoy!

Site is currently being redesigned. Stay tuned!

The discord channel is still being updated, so if you want to keep up with the going ons in more detail, I suggest visiting there.

In short, the major updates are as follows.

1) Capital Clicker is going through a major rehaul. I'll leave the old build up for now, but I'm not exactly proud of it. The new version will be more story based and character driven. The gameplay will be different in pretty much every way. Also, I'll be streaming my development of the game from beginning to end. More on that in the following week.

2) There's a podcast now! Apparently. I'm still waiting on equipment and getting familiarized with editing software and the such, but you can soon expect at least three episodes a week. Don't expect anything crazy, they'll mostly be updates on the game and this project as a whole. As the project evolves, I imagine it'll become a more professional affair and I'll probably separate the more interesting episodes from the basic game updates. More on that later.

3) I'll be streaming! Also at least three times a week, probably directly after podcast episodes. Down the line, I might skip certain podcasts and go directly into streaming. It's all a work in progress, but we're going to be feeling it out together, so hurrah! Also expect more information on that later this week.

4) There'll be a Youtube channel too! Every now and then I'll post videos that I think are important to this project there. Everything there will be a little more concise and to the point. I might do more engagement with Tik Tok and Instagram later, but I'm starting with Youtube first.

Anytime there's a major development, I'll make sure to post them on this site. I'll periodically work on the site to make it look a little bit... better, but for now just think of it as a central hub with basic information.

Can't wait to get this all started! Peace!

Version 1 of Capital Clicker now available

Looks like all known bugs are gone and the game is more-or-less in a functional state. Not a lot to do and no clear direction on anything, but, it works!

I'll probably only post updates here when new stable versions are released. If you want more information, go to the Capital Clicker page on the right to see the milestone markers, or go to the Discord for more up-to-date updates on the project. Hopefully Version 2 will be up soon!

Customary First Post

Hello, and welcome to Artetra Syndicate Network!

Let's try to keep this as short and sweet as possible.

Artetra Syndicate Network is (currently in development) a leftist media organization. The general idea is that people can form their own organizations, teams, and projects, (Syndicates) and host them under a cooperatively owned umbrella organization. (Artetra)

Confused? That's okay, that's all big picture stuff which is nowhere near being completed. Right now, this project is almost entirely just me (Aculem) and I'm currently designing games to jumpstart this whole organization. Right now, my focus is almost entirely on a game that's currently dubbed: Capital Clicker. It's basically a clicker adventure game centered on Capitalism. I'll host the game for free on this site pretty soon, and I'll post regular updates to it here and on Discord, which you can join here: Artetra Discord Server.

Thanks for joining. Feel free to ask me any questions at all. Hopefully this site will be a place worth visiting shortly!
