Oh, hell yeah! Thanks, man! I would never use the drip method anyway (I took out the nib the few times I refilled one), but this video's full of other great info for keeping the markers alive longer, too! Bookmarked! Keeping my markers at 14.2 grams! ♥️💪

Ah, thanks RGB! I'll get that sorted!

Ah, rad! Thanks, tortuga! ^^
I'll post the next update here and on Kickstarter so nobody misses it! 💪

Nice, thanks, Nuri! I finally bit the bullet and bought a set of Copics a few days ago, after wanting them for.... roughly ten thousand years, lol

I'm hyped to try them out with more than ten colors, hahah!

Your stuff's rad! Do you have any recommendations for colored fineliners you like to use for your lineart?

3/3
Thanks for the support, and sorry for the unclear listing description. If you paid into it expecting the book, I'll send you the book when the time comes, no worries! I hope you enjoy the game. Thanks again for helping me make it! ♥️💪

I'll be doing an official update later this month!

included. The "everything previous included!" was an unfortunate copy+paste mishap on my part. I'll honor it for anyone who says the genuinely pledged at that tier expecting to get everything, though. I want to be an honest developer, and it was my mistake 😤💪

2/3

Ah, sorry for the super late reply, Tortugakhan! I haven't been on Bluesky in too long! The listing description is a complete blunder on my part, sorry... the items listed in each tier are the actual accurate items included. I'd actually lose money at the $80 tier if the plush and book were 1/2

Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.

I'll be doing an official update by the end of the month! I promise one in February when the KS ended, and here we are, so it's almost time! ♥️💪

And there's a Discord, actually! Please stop in and chat sometime! ^^ discord.com/channels/851...

Awhile now! I need to get on it more, though.

😤👍

Maybe add a line to the license for this saying that to use this, no genAI can be knowingly be used in the game. GenAI bros love skirting rules as long as its "legal."

Learn to draw.

Rad, thanks, Plum! The normal campaign ended, but Kickstarter added a "surprise, keep going!" feature a few months ago, so I figured I should make use of it, hahah. Closing it for good tomorrow though!

Thanks for supporting my game! ^^ <3

Maple Forest The island your ship landed on is sinking for mysterious reasons! Explore, make new friends, and face deadly foes in this action RPG!

Alright everyone! This is the last time I'll be on here e-begging, hahah! From here on out it'll all just be normal game updates, forever!

Maple Forest extended KS, final day! 👍
Thanks to everyone who supported my game early!

See you soon with big updates!\ o /

Still overly happy with these palm trees, lol

Thanks so much, Nate! ^^

Only one week left of Maple Forest's extended Kickstarter campaign!

(www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...)

Thanks so much for the support, everyone! I hope you love the game when you play it! ^^ <3

Nothing will stop my game from coming out!! 😤
I'm gonna try Balatro! X'D

Rad, thanks for all the responses, everyone! I'm gonna buy it and try it out, I guess. I've never played a deckbuilder before or even many roguelike type things, so it'll be good to experience something new. Good gamedev homework!

These RULE, damn. Nice work, Christie!

Sketches of two characters with short tunics, samurai-inspired helmets, thigh highs and short, single-edge swords. The girl on the right in blue is holding her sword upside down and lazily towards the man on the left, who appears irritated.

Two sketches of the same character in a white gown over black breeches. She holds a long straight sword and scabbard. On the left, she holds the sword sheathed at chest height. On the right, she holds the sword drawn in a high guard while her other hand holds the scabbard in a middle guard.

Sketches of two teenage characters. On the left, one with blue hair in a ponytail, a black veracity jacket, short shorts and ankle boots. On the right, one with red hair in a shaggy bob, a white tank top with an orange circle graphic, short shorts and white athletic shoes.

Sketch of a blacksmith character. She has dark hair in an undershave wrapped up in a yellow bandana. She wears a knotted grey smock over a red chemis le tucked into a full grey overskirt and short apron. She caries a metalworking hammer.

Sketches from summer ‘21 I still like

Is Balatro actually good, or is it just addictive? Everyone's talking about it so I kind of wanna check it out as a gamedev to see what the fuss is about, but I have a lot of other games to play, too...

It was, hahah >:D

I did a painting using Vermillion.... in VR! Using the passthrough cameras to paint what I was looking at outside. Really cool! I was surprised at how much it felt like actual oil painting! o:

I originally did just the lines as a commission for @valtraid.bsky.social and added the color myself
