Game Report: The Hex by Daniel Mullins

Since I enjoyed Inscryption so much, I grabbed Daniel Mullins' other games in the Winter Steam sale! I played through The Hex in one day and for such a small price it was WELL worth it and I had a great time playing!!

there's so many cool games i would love to play, and i have the money to get them but my 5 year old tortured laptop would probably blow up and then get reborn as a real person and kill me

Posting this because I'm mad, but I really want people to stop soliciting me on fanfiction.net. These are just some of the ones I've been getting lately. I have done everything short of blocking all notifications from there entirely, which I don't want to do because some people still there actually still read my stories and give nice reviews. I want to keep interacting with them. I also get the occasional request to beta-read someone's fic, and I enjoy doing that as well.

But recently only 1 in every 10 messages from there were actually from people who like my work and want to talk to me about it. Instead, I keep getting messages from these fuckers and their copy-and-past little sales pitches. Usually, it's in PMs, but the most recent one was in a review of my fic. Considering this particular comment was on chapter 1, I highly doubt they actually read my fic. You can tell from how their messages are so similar and yet despite claiming to have read my fics and that they were great, they fail to mention any details about them. Were the characters portrayed right, if they like a plot twist I put in, a particular moment that was especially sad, or funny, or got them hyped? Nothing. Just, 'Hey, I like your work, buy my shit'.

I'm not even sure if there are real people behind these accounts. The account pages are usually pretty empty aside from linking their profiles on other sites, and maybe a handful of random favorite stories or authors. And all of them were new accounts started in late August of this year. Honestly, I'm pretty sure a lot of them are bots or some kind of scam. I wouldn't be surprised if any 'art' bought off these accounts were just made with AI.

Whatever the case, I don't trust it and really advise against anyone buying from these people. If you want commissions based on your fics, please research and reach out to artists yourself instead of giving money to these annoying snake-oil salesmen.

I love fanart of my fics. I greatly appreciate anyone who chooses to make fanart of my fics, and adore seeing it so, so much. But if I ever decide I want a commission, I will reach out to you, not the other way around. If anyone knows more about why this is happening and how to get them to leave me alone, please let me know.

damn. getting a request is actually making me speed through this report

[cozylittleartblog]

i think i am going to make a pay what you want digital zine this year for people who want to get into making little artist alley knick knacks like keychains and stickers and enamel pins, cuz i get a lot of asks about that and i think it would be nice to put my design skills to the test and have it all in one place! that being said, what kind of questions do y'all have about this stuff that you would want answered? everything from packaging to shipping to the products themselves, what would you guys want in there? keep in mind i have only sold on etsy myself and a couple craft shows, so i can't give much advise about personal storefronts.

please put them in the replies on this post so it's all in one place!

New "commission" listing: Surprise sketch!

I don't know how long I'll have these open, but currently I'm taking requests on my Ko-fi page (@VoidCatGalaxy on Ko-fi) for free surprise sketches! Basically, I'll draw one of your characters in any pose I feel like. Their expression and other details will be up to me as well, making what the sketch will be a surprise.

Using the code "SURPRISESKETCH" while checking out (minus the quotation marks) will give you 100% off of the commission's price! Discount codes are the only way to set something as free on Ko-fi, so I apologize for the inconvenience.

You'll be allowed to edit the sketch as you wish, except for using AI to modify it in any way - that means you're free to create lineart using it as a base, as well as color the sketch, if you feel like it (so long as you credit me for creating the original art and don't claim credit over what I created.) All of my terms of service still apply to free sketches; you can find the complete ToS on my Ko-fi page.

I also take commissions for sketches where you can choose how the character will be posed, if that's of interest - it's $1 per character. That commission listing is labelled "Sketch," in case you decide you want a sketch where you get to choose the details.

Thanks for reading!

why do people whose salary is like 4x mine constantly need me to hold their hand and make basic decisions that are literally a central part of their job description?
