So a lot of you lovelies have probably noticed that I haven't posted a whole lot of art here for the last while.

The reason is that I'm actually one of the artists over @dappervolk, which is a pet collecting/dress-up/roleplay browser game. We've been working to properly balance the site (making it less grind-y), add new events, and fill out the pet/clothing catalogue with many cool things!

I've really, really enjoyed being able to work on a team with other artists, and have learned so much about both dev and collaboration. These are some of the clothing items that I've contributed!

It's free, so if you want to play you just head over to their website! Also send me a friend request at fireflysummers (#5967).

I know people on Tumblr aren't as keen on moving to Bluesky compared to the Bird Site (and I don't wanna deal with posting this on said site if I don't have to..) BUT if anyone on here is interested in becoming more active on Bluesky, I'd like to share that I made a feed for petsite stuff! Currently collects posts tagged as "browserpetgame", "petsite", and a bunch of titles like Neopets and Flight Rising (and my bias PawBorough lol).

I'll tag this post with the other tags it currently grabs but feel free to recommend additions to the list. Keep in mind though some game titles might be harder to implement if they have a heavy overlap with unrelated content but I will try to make things work with enough tinkering.

Link to the feed here

Backers Beware: Santae

"Santae - An Enchanting Virtual Pet and Avatar RPG World!" is a Kickstarter campaign raising funds to further develop Santae.net, a browser based virtual pet site. Through aggressive marketing campaigns and releasing a highly polished alpha build, the project has amassed a large following and supporters. As of writing, the campaigned has raised over $70k, nearly quadruple of their $20k goal.

Unfortunately, numerous allegations have emerged surrounding the project. Claims ranging from design plagiarism to shoddy interactions between staff and the playerbase have been reported, but the most concerning of all has been this exposé on the artist paying rates.

For those who may not have the time to read through this lengthy post, I would like to highlight this excerpt:

"Please bear this in mind when you think about those 150 to 500 dollar price tags on the Kickstarter for designing items. 150 dollars for Hair, when the artist will get 5. 200 dollars for a single clothing item, when the range the artist will receive will be 2 to 8 USD."

As of writing, there has been no official statement regarding these alleged pay rates.

I do not wish to see Santae fail. I gladly welcome any addition to the relatively niche genre of virtual pet games. However, I cannot rest easy knowing hundreds of people might unknowingly be supporting a project that exploits the people it owes its success to. The linked post has been reblogged less than 20 times.

The primary goal of this post is to spread awareness. Backers deserve transparency on the projects they are supporting. I implore readers to share if they can, as the campaign ends in 8 days.
