I wasn't able to do the stream, sorry, but I rolled the Ninja Name Picker thing and I got this list of clients for the next batch! I also decided to add a bonus commission slot since there was good turnout, total: 11! This will also appear on FA journal!

Valve made another game in the one specific genre I hate the absolute most. I can't STAND MOBAS DUDE AAAAAAAAAAGH HOW IS IT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE A FUN MODE WHERE DO THE DOPAMINES COME FROM I AM A GAME DESIGNER AND I STILL DONT GET IT I am world's #1 moba hater full stop

I found out if you use a fractional exponent it makes the perfect skinner box numbers. Number go up, but need more number to get less number, diminishing returns, but never vanishing. Grind forever. I am gonna win game dev so hard.

Finally, here are the sketches from Saturday! For Addradry and Gylph

Commissioned by Kukukaku, who also colored it! I made the sketch/lines.

Benson commission for @a-side.bsky.social You have been summoned for tea and belly massage...

Back from the gym. Saw a dead angel (orange cat) on the sidewalk. World's not fair man.

Time for some morning commission work! Then I have "Tricking Rocks into Thinking" class in the evening. Also cooking some dinner. A lot to do as always!!

Discord can absolutely fuck off with this spyware shit. What do you MEAN

When you get to the fun part of making a game, you can tell, its like having a garden and watching all the flowers start to bloom. Every new color and shape, a reminder of how much effort and time there was up to now, how much there is to come, and that it's all gonna be worth it.

Got some more work done on the latest animation loop involving Tracy Vale...

Where is like... a place where they are looking for indie animators to help with stuff? Even just free fan work. Like a kind of new ground.

Fixed one bug today! Turns out the tutorial for the inventory would move the camera toward the inventory, but moving the camera automatically hides the inventory so that the inventory doesn't interrupt tutorials. Game dev is a true delight.

I wouldn't wish the ADHD experience on my worst enemy. It probably looks like I can do anything, and certainly I try hard to excel at what I love doing. But there are several things one may take for granted that I struggle with daily, or am completely unable to engage with or change. I hate it...

This commission for hgorski6 comes with many forms of Garchomp!

Last Saturday's raffle sketches! For ImaginaryDragon, Tiratel, and SwiftRabbit27

14 applicants for the new commission batch already! I always worry whether the next batch will be one where I don't fill all the slots because I either exhausted my client-base or a price increase was too harsh or something. But every time, ya'll come through. I'm grateful for this support!❤️

Even with all the struggle and AI slop, I don't regret trying to be one of those independent multimedia art/code generalist types. Knowing what I am capable of after two decades of practice and experimentation... I feel like I'm only getting started! Life isn't perfect, but I have this happy thing.

Already at 6 applicants before the deadline a week from now! It could be a tough batch!

Send me a message on FA or Bluesky to apply for a slot and I'll write down your username. Don't send details yet! Up to 10 random applicants will get a commission slot on Feb. 10th, then we can discuss specifics! Info and prices: www.furaffinity.net/view/13300194/

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

The commission I'm putting the finishing touches on now has like 12+ permutations, so you'll see more of that here on bluesky when it's ready, with the FA post linking to it!

I want to create more original OC designs for others or myself. Need to work that muscle too. All the more reason to get this batch done, since I do refs! Just one more commission left and I'm opening another set of slots!

Trying to get more practice in with those painty backgrounds so I can put them behind my game's cutscenes! I actually already have a majority of the cutscene engine coded. The intention is to take something like a VN, but spice it up a little with some my own home-grown code magic. Very excited!

Donald Trump raped children. I’m not sure what’s left to discuss.

Heads up, for the future commission batches, and immediately for raffles, a price increase will take place for anything above a sketch. Improvements to my technique have altered the proportion of time spent on certain phases over others, so a change was needed there.

And here's a color upgrade for @fenolgo.wang !

Stream sketches from last week for Swotter and JarrettLucario!

[email protected] had so much fun in the Legend of Zelda he thought he'd try the second quest. Looks like the blue Lynels are a LOT harder than he thought! What are they going to do with him? It's a secret to everybody...

Sad to say I would've gotten a lot more art done if not for the whole pipe bursting situation. We just got hot water back, and all this happened during my classes too, which were online at least. But right now just kinda feel like chilling out with some Monster Hunter today. It has been an ordeal.

Amazing, I go to play Monster Hunter GU as I wait for the patch that fixes Wilds performance, and just as I finish MHGU (though there's still way more i can do), Wilds gets this patch? Just write and direct the movie that I am living already

I'm a few quests into MH Wilds, being flashbanged by going from oldgen MHGU straight to this. But that performance patch did something, cause even though I'm not always getting 60fps, its stable and playable, a smooth time. I'm at least not distracted from enjoying the game itself.

Me "I really wish I had tile floors in the kitchen and mudroom, but I can't justify it if I have to redo the kitchen as well." The sneaky 30 year old bad pipe soldering job:

What do you mean they fixed MH Wilds???? I am Scrooge calling out the window about this please conFIRM

Snagged a cool photo

ditch the longform 2 hour vgm vibe playlists. make playlists of actual tracks from actual games. be intentional. if you’re intentional, you won’t be nearly as likely to fall for obvious bait like this. another really great reason why crediting and id-ing the music you’re listening to is valuable

Big supporter of Nuremburg Trials 2 here, but harder, with more intensity, and more guys have their lives ruined as they deserve. I think if you even voted republican you should have to do work for me for free whenever I ask, and you still won't reach the debt you owe me no matter how much you do.

ALEX HIRSCH IS MY GOAT!!

You knew it had to happen, I got Hytale. It truly is some kind of Minecraft 2. Very many multiple moments of "oh my god why didn't minecraft have this" while trying it with @rubikang.hyper.wang I'm curious if I could mod-in some characters, get in on the ground floor. Might check out the tools.

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech. This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 & KNUCKLES #SonictheHedgehog #Sonic

hell is this white shit all over my bong

At this point I've been called an insipiration by like 30+ strangers. If you want my skills, do this: -Start at 10 years old -No relationships -Only work, eat, sleep You cannot have what I have unless you burn everything else down that can distract you. And it's gonna fuckin' sting too. Good luck.

Got a bit more sketching done for the new animation loop! Two characters, one of which is rubbing and jostling the giant balls of the other, face-first! I've got about 70% of the key sketches done.

After hundreds of hours of gameplay, I have completed the final G-Rank urgent quest, thereby unlocking the beginning of Monster Hunter GU Finally, I can play for real.

Yo, I would try to run for office to fix this shit, and with my knowledge, confidence, and voice I'd kill it, but I know ya'll are just gonna "why did this dude draw Klonoa as a fat woman im not voting for that". No sector of public service is ready for someone like me, but I'd be the best...

Game dev involves paying people to do things you don't know how to do, so anyway I can do coding, animation, voice acting, illustration, design, writing, marketing, community management, feedback handling, and taxes.

Tonight begins planning of the next animation loop... this one's for the testicly-inclined!
