Hi everyone! Glad to see you here! I am also here, but you may have noticed I don't post often. I have not forgotten about sakevisual. I'm just that busy at my day job. BUT! I'm always looking for new artists, so no matter how long you've been here, please say hi so I can get to know you!

These all look super cool! Will have to do some ruminating, but it's good to see what you've got. Thank you!

OKAY, for no reason whatsoever, do we have any puzzle designers in the house? Simple 5-10 minute challenges in the style of a certain gentleman professor with a tall hat. If you can design but not program, I can do the programming, but if you can program, that's a bonus.

I don't have a good idea of the current layout of the land, but last I saw it started at $5000 from an indie studio for frame-by-frame. No idea on Live2D assets and rigging-style animation.
