I love cheese so gd much. My love for it is eternal. When the Earth is swallowed in a collapsing star I will still be noshing on manchego as I spaghettify at the event horizon

Wooohoo I just finished the last recipe for the baking cookbook based on the characters from @sweetleaves.art and art by @soulnero.bsky.social ! Look for it sometime down the road!!!😁😆

Finally figured out where in the ep2 script to... slot this in...

The irony of working for a digital communications company where everything your product does annoys the hell out of you (god am I tired of having to X out 20 modal pop-ups before I can actually do anything in an app; marketers need to chill)

Lil' preview of an early scene from episode 2 (character art @mousenoises.art and BG art @reothesnep.bsky.social). This showcases the lighting/seasonal variations Reo's done for a lot of our BGs and that our sprites/dolls change outfits with every episode for a tiny bit more realism. #furryVN #FVN

Fantasy writer quandry: You have a fourth-dimensional character who uses incorrect verb tenses for linear time- but they're technically correct for how *they* experience time in their reality It's insanely difficult to write this in a way that won't make a lot of readers go, "was this even edited?"

We're up to 31 tracks on our Soundtrack! I really wanted to have a lot of unique tracks to set the novel to; we carefully craft our soundscapes to try and match the scene as exactly as we can. There's a *lot* more emotional moments in episode 2, and the music crafted for these so far is so, so good.

It's getting... big...

McMenamins is hands down the best thing about the PNW.

Made some "Jo's" cupcakes that a friend requested for a benefit. These are peach ricotta cupcakes w strawberry lemon French buttercream. Im not a cupcake person lol but these are one of my favs. This is based off of @sweetleaves.art character Jo. This recipe is also available in the baking book!

Mt. St. Helens is beautiful with complete snow cover.

sweet leaves is fantastic I am drawn to nico because big bear he's a builder bear so I drew him in this shirt once again, shout out to @sweetleaves.art and the team--I cannot wait for chapter 2!

❄️"Winter Lover"🩵 An 18+ comic short of four pages by @sweetleaves.art which I'm currently illustrating. Here's a peek at the first page, already on my Patreon. The whole comic will be available publicly once it's completed, but if you can't wait, you can join my Patreon to witness its progress.

Holy shit, the Sweet Leaves VN was SOOOOO good. I cannot wait for the next episode. Thank you to @sweetleaves.art, @midorideer.bsky.social, and @srbilyon.stormynights.games for hanging out in chat. Go check out the visual novel and show the devs some love! sweetleaves.itch.io/sweet-leaves

Live now checking out the Sweet Leaves visual novel! I love everything that @sweetleaves.art puts out. So, I'm excited to finally try this. Come on in! www.twitch.tv/hypercole64

Streaming at 4:30 PM PDT. Something a bit different today. We're gonna check out the Sweet Leaves visual novel! As a big fan of the series and after watching Claire play it last Saturday, I have to check it out. See you then! o/

TFW you see a big spike in views and downloads and purchases of your VN randomly out of the blue and you're like WHO MENTIONED US AND HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHO IT IS (so I can thank them)

You are now dating Reg #FoxfieldRailway

I estimate there'll be 2500+ hours of work on episode two of the VN based on how things are currently going. It's crazy when you think about how that will be distilled down to a four to five hour long read.

Red Velvet Cupcakes w chocolate ganache inside the cupcake and a chocolate decor piece on top has been made! These are going to be part of an anti ICE/protect immigrants fund raiser 🥰

I’ll never understand the insatiable desire of triple A studios and GFX card companies to have games be incredibly realistic. No. Stop. I *want* video games to have a wide variety of non-realistic looks to them. If I want something realistic, I’ll just look away from the monitor, thx.

Seeing lots of beavers around lately which is nice! They deserve appreciation! Here's a new sprite for episode 2 of the @sweetleaves.art visual novel! His name is Gabe ^u^

boy I sure do love PNW weather

Saw Hoppers last night; it’s a return to form to Pixar’s earlier movies which all revolved around creating strong emotional resonance. Can’t recommend it enough.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

That being said, we're still in need of URGENT ACTION these Bad Internet Bills did indeed pass out of committee. Call your lawmakers today, tomorrow- again and again! www.badinternetbills.com

I received an email last night from someone on the Yarn Spinner's dev team. If you're not familiar with Yarn Spinner, it's been used as a dialogue/narration engine in some major games - Night in the Woods, Dredge, Little Kitty Big City, etc. They asked for some screenshots, because... (small thread)

We've been continuing work in the background on the cookbook - @soulnero.bsky.social has done an incredible job with the design and artwork. We're still adding recipes by @wuskythehusky.bsky.social to the repertoire, and I imagine we'll be close to done (or done completely) by the end of this year!

We finally got paid by itch, so we can finally make our donation to The Trevor Project! Thanks to everyone who tossed us some money for episode 1! We'll continue on with donations to charity for future episode releases as well.

Really drained after having to sit through 8 hours of AI hype. So sick of every tech company racing to the bottom because everyone else around them is. Don’t wanna be last to the basement! 🤮

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

I won an educator award at work, which feels extra nice when you spend all your free time writing teacher and school administrator characters. ❤️

Forced yearly corporate get together. It’s only been a couple hours, but if I was taking a shot every time AI was mentioned, I’d be in a coma right now

To the many Discord users out there, I heartily encourage you to move to a different platform. The company who already failed to keep thousands of IDs/personal data safe now wants everyone to give them their IDs. If you give them your info, it WILL be leaked. discord.com/press-releas...

I'll bet you think you're funny, whoever you are (you are)

LMAO

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Two months after launch and @itch.io still has yet to pay out a single cent, and they aren't answering support emails. Does anyone know any other channels to get a response to this issue? And does anyone else operating on itch ever have issues with them ghosting you or not paying you?

We released a patch for our animated novel! This contains several features that many of you asked for, and gives readers more precise control over their experience. You can read the patch notes and get the game here: sweetleaves.itch.io/sweet-leaves...
