The Troupe, investigating rumours of hobgoblins building an encampment, have made their way to Bone Hill Castle. After clearing the castle walls of hobgoblin warriors, they now make their way inside the castle to face what lies within.

I am Bok, a British-born expat living in China. I was born in Lancashire but identify as a 'plassie-Scouser'. I spent my youth growing up in Cumbria. Here I developed a great taste for exploration, climbing mountains and camping in the wilderness - a taste for travel that has defined my life.
Art That They Made For Me
I had a surprising encounter at an art gallery in Xi’an. I’ve always been a fan of interactive art, it’s part of the reason I helped run a Burn in China.
Proving Myself to the Gods
After her untimely death, Thora sought to prove herself to the gods so that she may enter Valhalla. Exploring the realms of Norse purgatory, she earned gifts from the gods and fought the Jotun of old.
Butterflies Float Like a Bee
Butterflies aren’t smart. At least in the Butterfly mod they aren’t. Minecraft has an AI system that I haven’t taken advantage of so far. However, I’m planning on introducing some new behaviour to the butterflies, so it’s time to evolve.
The Ballad of the Traveller
This is just a random scribbling I made when I was in a dark place. I was feeling trapped and had a strong desire to escape and see the world.
Assault on Bone Hill Castle
During their travels in the Reddy Forest the Troupe heard rumours of hobgoblins setting up camp in a Bone Hill Castle. Worried that the hobgoblin fort may lead to more troubles for the town, the Troupe sets off to investigate the castle and see if the rumours are true.
Xinjiang Tobacco Cigarette
Sometimes you meet interesting people when you travel. I had a relatively strange experience in Xi’an, when a friendly stranger wanted me to try something. It started after we spent some time wandering around a large antique market.
Killing Jotuns One By One
This week I’ve been making progress in Jotun: Valhalla Edition. I’ve completed every level, and collected all the golden apples and skills. Now I just need to kill the Jotuns. After killing the first Jotun, I learned something new about this game and the story it intends to tell.
Removing Boiler Plate Code
Currently adding a new butterfly to the Butterfly Mod requires writing too much boiler plate code. This week I looked into simplifying things to the point where we can generate a java file and have the rest of the code automatically register any new butterflies.
Star Trek is Humanity’s Mirror
The series that spawned modern day Star Trek is over. It probably wasn’t the best series of Trek ever developed, but it still had its moments. But none can deny that if it wasn’t for Discovery we wouldn’t be having the Trek resurgence we have today.
