aka 'the Wastes'

The Wastes is set in a post-post-apocalypse Australia. the world ended due to the scourge, which is like a living organism that has infected most of the planet, cutting off communication, spawning a bunch of beasts and making people go insane. the scourge loves sea life and man-made objects, particularly buildings and pipes.

Freak Hole is a tiny outskirts town on the edge of a habitable zone. the Spit n Spread is the core of Freak Hole, being its local pub and reason for the town's emmergence. Freak Hole also has a town hall, a communal ute, a gas station (Mars Petrol) and a handful of weirdos to poplulate its two streets.

Moke	Egg

On the road out of town, past Mars Petrol, lives Moke (recently arrived). and beyond that lives Egg (local nusiance who hasn't visited town properly). Moke is trying to start anew and move on from their past and Egg is curious and loves making friends.

Then, on their birthday, Moke sees an old face in town.

BACKSTORY:

Terrible Wasteland is a collab project between my s/o and i. we've been conceptualising it since early 2021. it began as a couple of characters and a vague video game concept. now its a cast of characters in multiple plots and a world building project that both of us are super passionate about. this is my first time really trying to express an original concept to this extent and i'm having a lot of fun working on art and website stuff for it.

SCOPE:

Speaking of websites... we're working on making the wastes into a multimedia webstory: info, art and stories from the world all collated online. when its up i will link it here lol. for now there's my tumblr tag that has art and doodles of various characters.

PROGRESS:
updated 24may2024

its been 6 months since the last update. lots has been in the works in regards to story and character dev. i've also been making more websites, this one and one for another batch of ocs lol, and learned a lot in the process. so much so that i think rebuilding the wastes site from scratch will lead to a lot less headaches in the future. for now, as mentioned, i'm workin on a game and website for a second group of ocs under the name Gunge Tank. more on them... soon.
