The good news is that Quantum Agnosis is well under way. I've become fairly capable with PHP and SQL already, and have already built the bare bones of the game's code and begun making the graphics for it. Expect a beta version to be available for selective testing by the end of August.

Apologies to all those who have been waiting for one of my afformentioned projects to get started / be continued. Something has come up, which could very realistically earn me a ton of cash while drawing attention to my other projects.

So, The Secret War, The Generic Dudes, my fanfictions, and The Science of Magic are all on hold until I have this new project up and running. You have my word that I will be continueing all of these other projects in some form when Quantum Agnosis goes live, starting with the next chapters of The Science of Magic (many of which are already finished in their first draft), and then probably The Secret War (after Volume II of TSoM is complete).

As for what Quantum Agnosis is, I want to be cagey on the details, because I don't want to give too much away. Suffice it to say that it's an online, browser-based MMORPG, which will feature an engaging and inventive storyline that allows all players to contribute and collectively shape as they see fit. And no, it's not a forum RPG; it's something much bigger that I'm coding from scratch.

Voice actors are semi-desperately needed for my latest project, which is a comedy online TV show about a group of nerds who form a tough street gang.

The actor's forum can be found here. All are welcome to audition for a part!

Stay tuned for a journey entry regarding the first full episode once it's finished (should be within the next month).

The first two chapters of The Science of Magic Volume II can be found on fictionpress, here.

More chapters to be posted up within the following week.

Now under construction is the fantasy role playing ( /adventure / puzzle / interactive novel )  game called The Secret War. 

Set in the world of Sheol, 200 years before the events of The Science of Magic, the story revolves around the birth of The Order, the life of Tyrius, and a struggle to prevent dangerous magics from being loosed on the world. Three people share the same nightmarish dream, yet each one sees a different thing. One sees fear, one sees weakness, and one finds that the lines between good and evil are far from clear. All three - though they are miles apart - share a similar destiny. One hunts this destiny, one joins with it, and one sits on its ruined doorstep awaiting her death.

Made in RMXP, but crammed full of inginuity, The Secret War plays like a cross between Dreamfall, Final Fantasy and Fable. Gone are out-dated notions such as levels or level-based growth, as this game is to feature a unique magic and equipment system which allows the characters to grow realistically and without repetitive grinding. The game is set to have a running time that spits on the word epic, an intelligent array of puzzles and tactical battles, and more fun elements than you can shake an enchanted, +5 fire blade at.

Stay tuned for more information.

A forum designed for a client in the theme of the web-game "A Dark Alleyway". 

Please note, I no longer play this web-game and do not in any way endorse it as a quality game. Neither do I roleplay anymore on the theme of said game. However, I'm not personally against the idea of creating a forum based around the game, as I was getting paid for it, and I enjoyed the challenge. While the theme of the game is somewhat suspect, I do consider it to be pure fantasy.

Book two of The Science of Magic series (entitled Champion) is now underway. The first chapter will be available online soon.

The Purpose of This Journal
This is a professional log of all the recent art, stories, games and animations from David Brown. Its purpose is to keep fans updated on all updates listed in date order.

What is Mooncalf Studios, Anyway?
Mooncalf Studios (found at Mooncalfstudios.com) is the personal website of the artist David Brown (me). I realised one day that, although I don't possess any useful skills, I have a talent in the conceptual. When it comes to imagination, ideas, and designs, I excel. But instead of using these skills to get rich, I decided to share my art and stories with the world, giving people free escapism when this boring, and often vile world gets them down.

So What You Got?

The Science of Magic
A full-length online novel trilogy about 2 brothers who discover that there is more to their world than meets the eye. While one brother tries to use his gifts to destroy the world that has so badly wronged him; the other strives desperately to save that world, and his sibling. Think of it as Lord of the Rings meets The Matrix.

The Secret War
A downloadable RPG set many years before the Science of Magic. The game is set to play like a cross between Final Fantasy, Knights of the Old Republic, and Dreamfall, but with basic graphics.

Monster's Ink

The Gallery
Sketches and designs from Mooncalfstudios.com. From monsters, to digital women, to photographs and more.
