“Welcome to DigiChip Academy!”
I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited as I am now, being welcomed by the hologram of the Academy’s virtual raccoon mascot, RC-0N. I can’t hide my smile.
DigiChips have been my life, and my mother’s before me. We run a small DigiChip shop on the edge of our town, in the south where the suburbs fade into the mountains.
We are connected to the HoloNet back home, but the technology here is amazing. Through the panoramic windows of Hub A1, we can see the vastness of Academy Island, with its eight different biomes and network of railriders transporting staff and students between them.

After releasing a_new_day_in_the_workshop [ Vol II ], I was determined to make music containing the following:
– Is fully open-source
– Feels upbeat and future-optimistic
– Creates a world inspired by my favourite trading card game worlds
Coming off the back of CSTMSHOP, I knew I now had the skills to do it.
It was also at this time that I changed the colour theme of this website from a dark-terminal-console type one, to one which had white background and blue text. I wanted my style moving forwards to make people feel good about the future, especially at a time when many people feel depressed about the state of technology.
