Chapter Ten and the Epilogue are out!

Hey everyone!

This announcement is basically just what it says on the tin. You can now play the last part of the game. Here's the link if you don't have it handy.

I don't think there are any particular content warnings for this one other than Zeus existing, but my brain is kind of scrambled eggs right now, so if I've forgotten something, please let me know.

I feel like I should have some thoughts here about actually being finished with the game, but either because of the brain-eggs thing or because I still have a lot of editing to do, it's hard to think of myself as done.

Just a few things I've been getting questions about clarified in one place:

FoA's first draft will remain where it is, as it is, complete and free, until I submit the edited version for publication. I estimate this will be about three months, (so until March 1, 2024), but can't say that for sure.

The second draft will bring about substantive changes both from a game design standpoint (various systems) and a character standpoint (some pacing things are going to change, particularly with the romances that probably should be a little bit faster paced than they are. A smidge.)

I may or may not be doing a closed beta test for the second draft. That's not me being coy, that's me genuinely not knowing if I will.

There will be one sequel. I will begin working on it immediately after FoA is submitted for publication.

If you want to follow the editing process, I will probably be summarizing my progress monthly here, but I will be going into much more detail and previewing the edits on my Patreon. No pressure ever; that's just an option if you'd like to see more or support me as I go.

Thank you, everyone, for your support, critiques, and suggestions. They've already made FoA a much better game than it would have been without you, and I'm looking forward to getting the chance to take more of them on board as I move through this next part of things.

I hope you enjoy.

[Simmerianne93]Couple_poses_02_REMAKE

 Hello everyone!! How are you today?

Another remake is here!!! I'm so excited!!

I said i was going to bring one remake per month but i guess it's kind of difficult to keep that promise since i have a lot of packs coming each month and my time is not unlimited, so I'll be bringing them as frequently as I can >.< maybe every two ot three months. I'll be working on them regularly for sure 'cause there are still a few posepacks that need big improvements and I can't wait to do them.

As my last "remake" post, I'll be showing you each improvement i have made in each pose. It's kind of fun to see the differences between both versions and how far i have gotten as a posemaker.... and it is also a little bit of a shame for my old me, but I can live with it haha.

I tried to keep the poses as similar as possible (since it is a remake and not a new posepack) but I took the liberty of adding some changes to some of the poses that need them urgently (as pose #3 that was pose #2 before), and I even added a new pose to complete the pack with 12 poses as it's my usual. For the changes I did use the same "script" that i had in those days when i made the first version of this posepack for my story, so the intention that i wanted to show back then is still there.

BEFORE and AFTER photos were taken from the same camera angle in blender, to see with a better look the differences and improvement between the ORIGINAL pack and its REMAKE counterpart.

And, without further ado, I hope you enjoy seeing the progress I have made as a posemaker:

The Eureka Kickstarter Pamphlet

It’s not much of a secret that my career and future financial stability is riding on the upcoming Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy Kickstarter (April 10th-May 10th) being successful and hitting as many stretch goals as possible.

If you would like to help a disabled person have a viable career, and see more work from myself and A.N.I.M. in the future—well, first of all, back the Kickstarter on April 10th, but secondarily, spread the word so that others can at least know about it and may back it themselves.

Besides just telling people about us and reblogging our posts, a really helpful way for you to spread the word would be to go to this link here (it’s the same link as the one for downloading the free demo) and download the EurekaPaphlet3pg-1 PDF. It’s a foldable pamphlet you can print out and give to anyone who has an interest in TTRPGs at school, at work, at a con, etc. You can even print out a bunch of them and leave them at your local card&hobby store. These pamphlets even include QR code that will give anyone scanning them access to the free Eureka demo. Also, since it’s a PDF, you could also just send it to people online without actually having to print it out.

(Make sure when you do print it out, that you print it out double-sided!)

It’s a nice pamphlet with some of our best art on it, and does a good job of getting right to the point of what Eureka is.

If any of y’all could hand this out and/or show it to people, it could mean a world of difference for making Eureka and A.N.I.M. a viable career path for someone who struggles to hold down any “normal” job.

Set a reminder for the Kickstarter launch here.

See a preview of the Kickstarter campaign here.

Join our Patreon for just $5 and get perpetual updates on the in-progress prerelease version of Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy and several adventure modules.

Visit our website or go to our itch.io page (follow us there too so you'll get notified when the game fully launches) for more information and a free demo! Also, in case anyone didn't know, the free demo isn't just a small chunk of the game anymore, it's almost the full game. Like, everything. If you previously downloaded the demo that kept most of the game hidden, go download it again to get access to all of that hidden stuff and more!

Interested in actually playing this game, and many others, with the developers? Check out A.N.I.M.'s TTRPG Book Club, a club of nearly 100 members at the time of writing this where we regularly nominate, vote on, and then play indie TTRPGs! At the time of writing this, we are playing Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy, and sign-ups are closed for actually playing it, but you can still join in to pick up a PDF club copy of the rulebook to read and follow along with discussion, and sit in on and observe sessions! There is no schedule obligation for joining this club, as we keep things very flexible by assigning multiple GMs with different timeslots each round, to try and accomodate everyone! This round, we had over thirty people sign up, and were able to fit in all but one! Here is the invite link! See you there!

๋࣭⭑ Devlog 37 | 1.29.24 ๋࣭⭑

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hope the holiday season and the new year have been treating you all well <3 I've been hard at work this past month to get the revamped demo out to you all soon, so let's jump right into things ^^

This past month, most of my writing has been focused on the revamped demo, finishing Etza's first draft, and Druk's developmental edits.

The revamped demo is FINISHED w writing edits!!!! That honestly took way more time than I thought, but because I wrote the demo basically two years ago at this point, a lot of my writing style has changed. So while some people might think it is an unnecessary time sink, it was important for me to rewrite the scenes I could so that it felt like it accurately portrayed how the routes are looking. And, because my writing skills are better than basically 0, which is where I was starting when I first wrote the demo, I can better write a script that's closer to my vision of the game.

....So THAT ended up taking a while!!! BUT I finished that this month, which was a huge accomplishment to me and I feel much happier with the Alaris script than before, where I kinda... well, hated it. LOL

In-Game Sneak Peek: New Choices HEHEHE

Etza's draft is making good progress. I'm JUST ABOUT done with their first draft YAY!!! As I mentioned before, writing for the full game routes will be a bit slower for now since I'm now balancing more game stages than before (like coding, sprites, etc.). But I was pretty happy with Etza's progress this month since it does feel like the finish line is pretty close for their first draft ^^

And then Druk's edits are just about wrapping up!! Wudgey and I have been having lots of fun with Druk's route, and it's shaped up to be a personal favorite just because of how enjoyable the editing process has been, so I hope you all are excited for it!

For art, I've gotten some more backgrounds commissioned from Vui for the full game. I also decided to update the prologue art for the demo and commissioned dear friend @saffein-e for some prologue art and..... WELL..... SHE'S STUNNING. I'll let the prologue preview speak for itself HEH

In-Game Preview: New Prologue feat. New Art and Fade-in Text Effect

I'm so happy with it, and in general seeing the demo come together with all the new assets has been RRRRGGGHHH!!!!! I've coded most of the screens by now, but I don't want to show them all quite yet. I'll show one preview of the new communicator screens.

Communicator Feature: Texting (left) and Phone Calls (right)

First is the texting screen, and then I also updated the phone call screen! The sprites now not only emote (kinda like video call vibes), but they also auto-highlight based on who is talking!

Most of my miscellaneous stuff has to do with coding the demo. I've been doing a LOT of backend coding to make the game more polished. First is the example above with the communicator phone call feature. Without getting too into coding jargon, it basically is like a new version of the normal sprites so that it feels more interactive, with seeing the characters emote while talking to you, and has the auto-highlight function so that it is clear who is talking during a phone call!

I'm adding more camera work to the demo, more vfx/sfx to make things more immersive, and overall just adding a lot of polish to the game. It's been a lot of work, since it's involved adding alternative textboxes, cleaning up old code, revamping things (like sprites and other images), etc. But it's been worth it to see everything come together!

In-Game Preview: Pop-up Codex now instead of separate screen!

I'm hoping the beta demo can be done by the end of this week or next, so if you all would like access to it, please feel free to subscribe to my Patreon for this upcoming month! Highest tier gets access to beta builds for $10 <3

Finally, In other news, I DID release Intertwine: Another Life this month LMFAOOO

If you haven't gotten a chance to play it, please do! There's almost double the amount of script content. I've been doing an awful job of promoting it since I've been in the coding trenches. But I do appreciate the reception so far!! It was honestly bigger than I thought it would be, and I'm always so grateful for everyone's support ^^ Very happy you all liked the extra bit of content with Van <33333

For market research, I didn't do anything this past month. I DID play Date with Death in December and had massive brainrot from it. In fact, I made two fanarts of little Grimmy LMFAOOOO.

I'm sure most of you have played it, but if you haven't this is your sign to go play it. It's a free game and the amount of polish and features in it are crazy, so please show the dev team some love!!!

Hoping to have the revamped demo out soon, and the beta demo out even sooner. Hope you all have a great rest of your month, and I'll talk to you soon! <3

Chapter 11 Progress [14/MAY]

Hey everyone, it's been a minute since my last update on the blog!! Happy mother's day to all the moms out there 💖

By the time of writing this, I have 40k words written for CH11, and I am both happy and mildly horrified to report that CH11 is looking up to be the biggest chapter yet by a mile. It's very likely the total word count will break through 90k words, primarily due to the LI routes.

First, I've finished the first draft for X's route for CH11 and am mildly exasperated by my inability to properly estimate how long these sections will be.

I thought it would amount to 10k at most, but X's route ended up with 18k words. This is mostly due to all the Imperial Court variations in their opening scene, because I'm a masochist. A single playthrough of X's route is more like 14k words, though, depending on the variations you get.

I'm also close to finishing R's route and have 8k words written for it so far. Their and A's routes will be a little less in word count, since they got more content in CH10, but they'll both likely still be 10-12k words. D's will likely be closer to X's route in word count, around 14-15k.

Altogether, this chapter's LI routes alone will likely be close to 60k for all four. So that leaves the rest of the 30k for the main plot, which I haven't started yet. I literally only have words written for R and X, as well as bits and snippets for A and D so far lol.

Please pray for me so that I can release this chapter in July and give you all a summer miracle 🙏🏼

Anyway, enough about the word count!! I've got some preview posting to catch up to, so beneath the cut you'll find various snippets for X and R's routes in CH11 that were posted on the Patreon.

Hopefully I'll be able to post some for A and D soon as well, once I dig into their routes in the coming weeks.

Here's a small preview of a bit you might see occur across all LI routes, though it still depends on who is appointed to your Imperial Court (and the Lord Samal referenced here is specific to X's route as well):

“Chief Minister, is this allowed? There must be procedure for the appointment of officials—” “It is all at the Crown’s discretion,” Chief Minister Karwan states simply, turning away from the representative again to face forward instead. “But this is highly unusual!” The Minister breathes an exasperated sigh. “Oh, quiet down! Were you not using the same technicalities to get your way a moment ago, you insolent dog?” “Do not speak to me that way!” Lord Samal erupts. “I serve Mîr Behram!” “And I was already serving the Crowns of this Empire when your master was still suckling at the teat!” the Chief Minister snaps. “Now be a good boy and come to heel, we have many more matters to discuss.”

Here's a preview for X's route:

“Why do you have that dagger?” You turn to look at $aname, taken aback by how stunned $athey appears. “$xname gave it to me.” “$cxthey gave it to you?” $aname repeats incredulously, glancing back down at the dagger in your hands. “Did $xthey tell you who it originally belonged to?” “It belonged to someone else?” You assumed $xname was the only one who owned it, but looking at it again, you can notice subtle wear and tear despite its well-cared-for state. Little scratches along its sheath, the edges of pearl looking a little worn along the handle. “Whose was it?” “$cxtheir mother’s.” Your fingers tighten around its sheath in shock, then twitch with the urge to put it away. “$cxtheir mother’s? Why would…” You look down at the dagger in complete disbelief. “Why would $xthey give it to me?”

And finally, here's a preview for R's route:

Your hands reach for $rthem, but then halt and hover in mid-air, uncertain of whether you should even touch $rthem while $rthey’s in this state. “It’s alright,” Perjin speaks quietly from beside you. “You can hold $rtheir hand, if you wish. Your magic won’t cause any problems.”  You take a slow, deep breath, calming yourself as you sit down on the edge of the bed and gently take $rname’s hand in yours. “$crtheir fingers are cold.” Alarmed, you rub $rtheir hand, feeling how clammy and cool $rtheir skin is. You turn to Perjin. “Why does $rthey feel cold? What’s happening to $rthem?” 

That was it for this update ✨

I’m posting further updates and CH11 previews on the Patreon for all tiers, as well as all sorts of fun extra LI/Crown snippets, so if you’d like more AToC content while you wait for CH11, consider pledging!!

As always, thanks so much for your patience and support 💖

Personal Problems on PawBorough's Patreon

So I guess I'm doing this. Kicking this off with some disclaimers.

I don't have a problem with the team putting together a Patreon. Developers need money to live. Get that bag.

I admittedly don't have much experience with Patreon either as a creator or a patron. I might be operating under misconceptions or make incorrect assumptions of what is and isn't effective when running a Patreon. A lot of this is coming from a very subjective perspective of what I think things are worth. To me.

I sincerely welcome any and all commentary or criticism on this post. It's mostly rambling, so I'll gladly try to clarify some points if asked about it. On that note, this isn't like, a full on debate. Let's be chill.

Let's get this started.

Now why am I rambling here? In short, I feel like the Patreon isn't set up to be as accessible or fair to the community as it could be. I am very aware that ultimately not everyone will be able to support the game in this way. Life is hard, and people can't always get what they want. But I think things could still be improved to make more people happy, and potentially more money for the team.

Tiers aren't the best they could be

As of writing, there are four tiers.

$1 tip jar with no benefits. This was added after it was suggested in the Discord.

$5 "Kit" - General support, behind-the-scenes content, work-in-progress updates (digital), Patreon Discord channel, and Discord access.

$10 "Domestic" - All previous benefits and a "domestic supporter" personal credit on the credits page of the game at launch.

$20 "Mystic" - All previous benefits, a "mystic supporter" personal credit on the credits page of the game at launch, and access to exclusive community polls.

As I said in my disclaimer, my opinions are extremely subjective to what I think things are worth, but something about the pricing scheme is incredibly unbalanced to me. Why does it go 5, 10, 20 instead of 5, 10, 15? I see that it's doubling from the last tier, but why? Especially when the added benefits are.. pretty minimal? A credit on the site for an added $5 from the lowest tier, but it's $15 for a different credit title and polls. People can ultimately spend their money however they want, but this seems like a bad deal.

Not only that, but I feel like it's a HUGE missed opportunity to not have a $3 tier (we could call it "Fauna" or something) with minimal benefits. If $5 is for everything, $3 could just be the Discord benefit. (Though if you ask me, I've more often than not seen $1 tiers be used for a Discord role so 🤷). If just Discord isn't a good enough deal, then they could do low resolution images of the previews or something. I think it's also fair enough to say a hypothetical $3 tier wouldn't get a credit, but on that note...

Why no Kit credit?

It was stated in the recent Kickstarter post that all backers will have a credit on the site. This is a good thing, but seeing as the lowest tier for the Kickstarter was $5, it feels unfair to me that the Kit doesn't seem to get a credit. Especially considering the fact that the Kickstarter was a one time payment.

It'll only take another month for a Kit supporter to spend more than the lowest KS tier and not receive a credit. There's already an upcharge of a different credit title when going from Domestic to Mystic, so why leave Kit out of it completely? I just don't get it.

Concerns on Discord

If the credit situation is unfair to Patrons, then I'll be honest, I think doing Discord integration is unfair to Kickstarter backers. I am aware that Patreon has tools for Discord integration that Kickstarter (last I checked) doesn't, but like, if we've already gone this far without exclusive roles or channels for people who have financially supported the project, why start now? On top of that, I think having a Patreon exclusive channel in the main server is a bad idea for a number of reasons.

First, it will create a divide in the community based on money. There are already locked channels based on Borough affiliation, but that is an extension of the game and not connected to money. I don't think Discord integration will create a literal class divide among the players, I have a lot more faith in the community than that, but again, if this wasn't done for the Kickstarter, why start now?

Second, I think there's a bit too much risk when it comes to keeping exclusive content exclusive. I think almost everyone has sent a message to the wrong channel at least once in their life. It ultimately won't be a big deal if someone accidentally makes mention of something in the public channels, but that's still something to moderate for, y'know?

Third, the Discord has already been stated to be temporary, where it'll be phased out sometime after launch. Why include paid benefits for something that isn't going to last? The next alternative to this is to integrate Patreon into the site forums somehow, but Blue already said that wasn't gonna happen.

In conclusion

Idk I think it could be better. I'd love to cough up $3 a month for blurry images. $5 for crisp ones is too much for me right now. That is all.

[tofautisawa]

I am making a good amount of progress on my backlog of pages over on Patreon. So here's another little preview!

Hopefully I can start posting pages for the public again soon! Thank you all for your patience! In the meantime, if you want to see the pages early while also supporting me, pages are available for early access over on Patreon for $5+ tiers.

Wayfarer Dev Log 2023.03.06

Hi friends!

It’s been a while since my last proper update in January. I am recovered from illness and mostly back to normal; with the days getting longer and actually having sunlight now, it’s easier to stay focused than it was in the winter. A lot of developments have happened in the interim, so I’m hoping this dev log will serve to get you caught up on things I’ve been keeping under wraps until now.

✦ New Blog Reveal

My blog’s desktop theme has been redesigned and updated! Huge thank you to @ethereal-themes for taking this on, I am in love with the new look.

Desktop theme

About

Navigation (with updated tags!)

FAQ

Character Roster (updated with Episode 2 characters + sortable, including by romance type)

These pages cannot be viewed in the tumblr mobile app, but they can be viewed by inputting the link into your mobile browser. Mobile versions of the updated FAQ information and tag list are forthcoming.

Many thanks to @memaidraws for my new blog portrait of Alexia. 💕

Additionally, I am no longer tracking the tag "wayfarer" for community content. The tag has become overrun with bots that makes it very difficult to filter. If you've created something you'd like me to see, please use the "wayfarer if" tag or tag my blog!

✦ The Public Build

A new patch should be coming sometime in March to fix lingering bugs and issues in Episode 2. This patch will require a full restart of the game. Once it releases, you should not use old saves otherwise you may encounter continuity errors and bugs in later episodes.

✦ The Alpha Build

Work on the next alpha update is progressing. I am still writing slower than I usually do, but I am coming up on the end of a major branch. There should be a new alpha release later in March that will cover one half of Episode 3 Part 1.

Even though not all possible routes will be included, the update will add over 300,000 words of new playable content to the game.

✦ Development Changes

Until recently, Wayfarer was planned to be a free game. This is no longer the case. Though I am not ready to announce the full details yet, the game will be eventually be moving to a free demo + paid full game model later in its development cycle.

Act 1 (which includes the Prologue and Episodes 1-3) will remain free to play. Future pricing for non-Patreon early access to later episodes while the game is in development is TBD.

Because this change impacts some behind-the-scenes things, I am need to gauge how much of Wayfarer’s playerbase plays the game on their phone versus a computer.

If you would like to help me out, check out this poll here and let me know what device you regularly play on!

✦ Wayfarer 2023 Pin-Up Calendar

The Wayfarer Calendar is now closed! A huge thank you to our contributing artists and everyone who donated. Altogether, we raised $1094.54 USD. These proceeds were donated today to the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice.

I am so honoured that the calendar was a huge hit. On behalf of our organizers, I would like to thank everyone for their passion and excitement for this project. It’s too soon to announce whether we will do something like this again for next year, but there may be another calendar on the horizon…

If you’ve enjoyed Wayfarer, used my tutorials, or would like to support my work, please consider supporting me on Patreon. Patrons receive access to the alpha build, a private Discord server, exclusive previews, bonus content, side stories, and other benefits.

(Please note that if you are pledging solely for access to the alpha build, the alpha and the public build currently contain the same content.)

Wayfarer is a passion project and creating it is a full-time commitment. Any little bit goes a long way to help me bring it to fruition.

If you aren’t in a position to support financially, reblogs, shares, ratings and comments, and spreading the word about the game are much appreciated and do a lot to help me out! 💕

Patreon Preview

Patreon update! You can see all work in progress on my patreon. And early access to illustrations as well. So I'm building a series of stories of young Dutch, Arthur, Hosea, and John during the early golden years of the gang. Some canon and some that are headcanon to what I think they would have gone through.

Art for Chapter 2 Truth Be Told Lies Be Requested

A preview of the behind the scenes of art being created. You can see the full picture on the Patreon and see updates as it progresses!

Anakin leads Obi-Wan out of the ward. Obi-Wan's anxiety creates an itch that crawls up his arms. He wishes he had his cloak to hide his hands in the sleeves. Instead, he crosses his arms, tucking his hands deeper into the crooks of his elbows. He glances over at the entrance of the building they are traveling deeper into, counting the troopers and watching as they patrol, observing their patterns. Suddenly, a hand grips his chin, diverting his gaze back to Anakin. Anakin has a stern look on his face.

"You won't get far. They have orders not to harm or kill you. If I have to chase you down, you won't like the consequences," Anakin warns, his tone firm.

Obi-wan jerks his chin out of his grasp. “Duly noted.” 

“Good,” Anakin smiles. “Then let’s head on up, Padme is looking forward to seeing you.”

I AM SO HYPED FOR WISHMAKER IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY POINT AND CLICK ADVENTURE GAMES

and i know that whatever you make will be super good !! grah !! i should really play the rest of your games and i’ll probably do it this weekend so expect some asks gushing about your other games in a few days (maybe,,, lets hope i have the free time)

anyways !! is there anything you can reveal about the storyline or characters for wishmaker? or are you gonna pull a [redacted] on me LOL

Aw golly this message is super sweet of you!! Thank you!! I hope you like whatever else of mine you play too, I'd love to hear your thoughts!!♡

Point-and-click adventures are one of my favorite genres so I'm excited to finally make one myself!!

While I can't share much right NOW, I do plan to hopefully show some one or two little visual previews leading up to the release of the prologue--it all depends on how quickly I'm able to do it! Remember this project is still in its beginning stages!

Some more info about how "beginning" it is under the cut:

Basically, I went into this project knowing I wanted to make a point-and-click adventure game. The Adventure Creator Plugin for Unity was one I'd seen recommended again and again, but I didn't have any experience with Unity(before now) so I was nervous to jump in.

I am still INCREDIBLY NOVICE when it comes to working with Adventure Creator/Unity, so I made a checklist of things I knew I wanted to accomplish with this game and went to see if I could accomplish them the way I wanted to. After getting through that checklist, it convinced me to start on my art assets and move forward with the project in this engine! I'm still incredibly nervous about it, but I've a bit more faith than before I went through my checklist so!

So right now I'm still getting through making the walk cycles to make characters move!! If you'd like to see more, the majority of my progress will be documented on my patreon!

[hareofhrair]

Posted another update on the calendar adoptables on Patreon! Got the last three designs locked down, so I can move on to lines and color.... as soon as I redo April because I still think she could look better.

You can see the designs without watermarks and separate from each other on my Patreon, but I can't resist showing them off a little bit here.

Patrons will get first dibs on these when they're done, and a discount to boot, so consider throwing a dollar my way if you can spare it!

I also talk a little in this post about the monster romance story and the text adventure game I'm also working on, which are harder to show off previews of, but are also coming along great! I've been having a great time bouncing between these three very different projects, and I really can't wait for yall to see them.

Great News Coming! [READ DESCRIPTION]

Well, there are many things I'd like to clarify. That's why this publication, so let's go in parts.

First of all, I had to delay and rewrite many of my fankid comics over and over again, since most of the artists I was inspired by are no longer active. And once you lose inspiration, creativity goes away. Since I try to make my projects somewhat original but without losing the aura of inspiration in other great artists.

I already have most of my comic "The Good Ending" structured in my mind, and I'm putting it into writing on Patreon as a script format. If you want to see it in advance, you can access my Patreon at the "Tip Jar" level. It will have a slight design change in the characters (a combination between rubberhose and my art style) to make it more striking, and this will be reflected on the cover of the comic, therefore it will also be redrawn with these new styles.

Regarding the rest of my comics (most of Cuphead) I simply kept them on Hiatus since if I want to advance with this comic, I must concentrate on the ones I want to progress, I know that many of you will hate me because I recently made a poll about What next comic page did you want to see, but I guess sometimes people make hasty decisions (I'm really sorry, I'm like Pomni, I have anxiety and it leads me to make stupid decisions, I'll try to correct that)

Now we move on to the other Fankids comic I have: Sciontale. Well, this AU will have a name change, and this will be Epsilontale (or ɛtale). I'll show the reason for this name in this comic explaining why "Espilon". This means that my main fankid will also have a redesign and a name change (I already made a poll about it to help me define her new name) the rest of the characters will remain the same. This means that I'll rewrite the first pages and redraw the cover, but remember that you can always see the previews on my patreon (I'm not very active but I always try to update). So for now I'm going to delete the first two pages as they will be deleted and rewritten. 

I recently saw a theory that says that Undertale monsters age extremely slowly, I liked it, so I'll apply it in my AU, so there will be fankids and characters that I plan to eliminate and others that I'll modify. Once again, sorry

BIG PATREON ANNOUNCEMENT- THE $5 TIER On My Patreon is now only $3!

Earlier this month, I did a poll asking if people would be interested in the $5 tier on the patreon going down to $3. I did this because I was noticed the number of patrons for it had dropped a bit and I wanted to make it more accessible. The answer was overwhelmingly yes. So this month, before payout, I'm changing the tier to $3!

You can visit my Patreon here!

For the $3 tier you get access to a ton of stuff, like:

-the opportunity to nominate media for and vote in TWO monthly liveblog polls. You can help decide what I watch and liveblog each month-TWICE! It's a small voting pool too, so your vote really counts.

-An entire downloadable catalogue of all my old AMVs, including one I didn't post on tumblr. My old video reviews of the Stephanie Brown Batgirl run and Sailor Moon manga, AMVS I consider slightly cringe- it's all there!

-Monthly Updates! I give an update every month where I talk about my writing progress, all the books I'm reading, the shows and movies I'm watching, and what I've been up to. These include goofy pictures from Maddam Tussaude's Wax museum in London, salty book reviews I would never let the public see, and more.

-First Look at posts! I offer early access to my big posts- like seasonal anime reviews- where you can see them a couple days in advance.

-Access to all my writing projects- this included multiple short stories involving such topics like depression and cats, the Existential Horror of Women in Refrigerators, a mini-boss mook villain being hunted by a murderous magical girl after a tragic mistake, a short horror story about working for the Census, Medusa meeting Galatea, and more. You'll also get previews and updates about the novel I'm working on, and extended previews for any stories I publish in anthologies.

-Access to the MFA Writing Lessons! These are writing lessons I did for graduate students learning creative writing, using a multitude of books as examples. I think they're pretty fun!

-Probably other stuff when I come up with it! I encourage my patrons to give suggestions.

As you can see, there's a lot of content! I really hope people take advantage of this offer, because I think it's pretty good!

Slice of Life Hiatus

Hi everybody!

As we head into the last third of Slice of Life I need to take a break.

Real life has been kicking my butt lately. Everything is more expensive, work has been crazy busy to the point where I spend most of my “free time” sleeping, and I have some family stuff coming up that I have to deal with. All this has been piling up and I struggled to get new pages finished on time while fighting obvious burnout and exhaustion. Hence, I’m taking a step back for a bit to work through stuff and relax. Partake in neglected hobbies, that sort of thing.

I will be working on Slice of Life in the background, and will probably post work-in-progress updates to my Patreon going forward until I have everything set up for Early Access Publishing again. I’ll also likely have more time to do things like update Aces Wild. Maybe draw some new things? We’ll see

There are still 3 more Updates to be posted (May 13, May 27, June 10) so look forward to those!

Thank you to everyone who reads this series and enjoys it! You can follow me on social media for updates, other art, and some previews when I start working on SoL again.
