And here's the rest! All artwork and formatting are created by myself (@bgsartcavern on Tumblr), feel free to use it - all I ask is that the watermark stays intact :) (2/2)

@beyondshapesnbeats.bsky.social I'm so glad that JSAB still has an active community, best game ever :))

That marks the end of the mod spotlights - from here on out we may get a bit quiet on social media as we focus in on creating the zine and making it the best it can be. Even if we aren't posting, we're still working hard behind the scenes - and our askbox is always open if you need to reach us!

A short profile, over a pink background depicting the tower in JSaB. A profile picture of a purple character wearing a hoodie with a pair of cartoonish eyes for a head is in the top left corner. The text in the image says: Beyond Shapes & Beats: A JSaB Anniversary Fanzine Capt (he/they/it) - Discord Mod JSAB was honestly a really funny coincidence that happened in my life. I kept seeing it in my recommendations on YT of comic dubs and, well, I checked it out. I REALLYY fell inlove with it, I’ve met wonderful people through the game and I even made loads of OCs because of it. This game was definitely one of my main inspiration for pursuing art as a career. At the bottom of the image are the following statistics: Favorite Player - Circle/P4. Favorite Level - The Art of War. Favorite Boss - New Game. Favorite NPC - Cube.

And for our final mod spotlight, we present Capt, the final piece of our Discord Mod team!
