Dead Orbit Mall, a vaporwave cyberpunk zine

Here, I published a new zine, I wrote and illustrated Dead Orbit Mall, a reskin of Dark Fort, the solo game that inspired Mork Borg. I say reskin but it became its own thing, more like a soft hack. I also added 2 pages of tools to use the zine with CY_BORG. I had a lot of fun drawing this one, especially playing with the sunset color palette. I could not have finished the zine without the help of Jellyfish Lines who did the layout of the PDF.

The idea came from my friend Roxi who shared a piece of trivia about dead satellites coming back to life and a vaporwave collage image that she made:




A map that my friend Lettuce drew when she playtested the game:
