Love to see the support coming in 🌸 Welcome, everyone! I knew I wanted to offer a "Founder's permanent price" for people who wanted to join this journey on its very first steps - those first steps are always the hardest, to begin something new, and that support is extra appreciated!

Friends - today is the last day when you can grab my Ko-Fi tiers for the Founder's price (2.00, 2.10 and 2.20, usually 3, 6 and 10 eur). This discount will never return, so get it while you can! Tomorrow there will be the very first sneak peeks of "Summer" for #WolfBride ! ko-fi.com/ylvanaar/tiers

I made an important purchase and I would love not to use student loans to pay it, so... Just a reminder that my #commissions are open. If you cannot affort one, just sharing this helps a ton! Thank you a lot in advantage! ko-fi.com/lynbaccha/co... #commission #fullrender #sketch #charactersheet

The Ko-fi discounts continue today and tomorrow! Attached is a list of things you can get on each tier, but for those of you looking for something to read, #WolfBride Spring is there as Early Access! Come join us, we have fun stuff 💙

My Ko-Fi tiers are live! Since Ko-Fi does not allow for tiers to be of the same price, the prices are 2.00, 2.10 and 2.20 (usually 3, 6 and 10 eur) until the end of Sunday! Wolf Bride's Spring EA is now online, so go grab it <3 ko-fi.com/ylvanaar/tiers

Last year EU changed wolf protection status from ‘strictly protected' to ‘protected'. In Finland, this led to the worst prepared law in decades being passed to allow hunting of wolves and discuss hunting bears and lynxes as well. 2,8% of Finland's wolves were killed during the first day.

Ko-Fi tiers will launch TOMORROW! In addition to leaving a link for you all to follow, I figured I would post a little thread on what will be out there during February. ko-fi.com/ylvanaar

The current status update of #WolfBride - the Early Access for "Spring" is coming out this weekend (this weekend!!) and has an approximate of 70 000 words with the prologue attached. This is also a reminder that if you want to become my supporter, Ko-Fi will have founder's prices this weekend only.

Time for an Exorcism update! The priest is feeling slightly overwhelmed. Moments like these are why we make smut, I’m pretty sure. RIGHT?? @ylvanaar.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/exorci... #nsfwart #nsfwcomics #comicoop

Per Rami: The deleted post was "what are travel tips for going ot DICE or GDC, or other games events in the US".

Whenere I'm trying to think how to draw Quir, this is what I google for reference. To me she's a mixture of a baby foal and a german shepherd puppy who has not yet grown into her ears. I originall wrote "bunny who has not yet grown into her ears" but, Chapter 2... GS felt MUCH more appropriate.

Related to my previous post: I have also been really hyped about getting to write the Summer part of the story. Writing Spring has given me so many thoughts for Summer, so now I am just a coiled spring ready to launch onto that next chapter <3

Last night I finished writing Wolf Bride's second part, "Spring". It is scheduled to come out on Spring Equinox, 20.3 on a Friday, but if you absolutely cannot wait you will be able to have it as Early Access next week when I am launching my ko-fi! If you want to know what else is there, 🧵

Next month it is again time to celebrate all ourlovely elves with #elfbruary ! Aka. for one month, draw elves, write about elves, do crafts about elves and share it online under the tag! Fan art and original art most welcome, as are half elves UwU #elfbruary2026 #elfart #elves #elfenjoyers

I'm in the mood to talk a bit more of Old Magic, so here's another snippet that is actually from part 2! (The one in the last post was from part 3, which I am hoping to get out and done in 2027.) It was a surprise project I was not really intending to make. Yet, it has brought me a lot of joy.

New year, new Old Magic shenanigans. Drawing the second part has been slow, because I feel like my art has been at a standstill and I am no longer progressing to a direction where my art would look pleasant to ME - but slowly getting back to it. For me, pushing through it is what works.

In case you missed it last year - I wrote a small game about the crime of being small, about cruel gods, about tradition and those who can/cannot break it. ylvanaar.itch.io/hunger #indiegame #itchio #textbased

crunch in games is reckless, it’s running a car without oil or care, watching sparks fly and smoke billow and going “that’s what maximum efficiency sounds like, when parts fail I’ll replace them knowing I squeezed 110% from them” except the parts are people so the driver is evil as well as stupid

I shrimply think that if you think this way about your fellow gamedev, DOUBLY so if you are a CEO or in any position of team or studio leadership, you have no place in the future of this industry. Full stop.

When I say that non-ecommerce web monopolies are fragile, I mean that it just takes one sicko to realize that people just want TheThing, to make TheThing, and then nobody has any reason to use your enshittified platform anymore. Seeing MySpace era css brings a tear to my fuckin' eye.

okay. let me tell you about carrion. i only have so many words per post so stick with me. carrion is a privacy-*first* adult text roleplay (ERP) platform for furries and perverts. it takes the best features of the long-runners in the space and removes two decades of built up UX/design debt. thread

Hello, followers! My wife just finished a massive project to create a website for gay furry perverts who value their porn and their privacy together. And she has asked me to help share it to the world. The two of us would greatly appreciate your patronage and/or your reskeets :)) carrion.chat

Good morning, everyone! Do you know what is expensive? That is right, owning a car in a northern, wintry cold landscape. (Reblogs appreciated!) Due to an expensive brake maintenance, I'm taking commissions as of now. Take a look here at these beautiful discount prices: #commissionsopen

oh no who could've seen this coming

happy new year gamedevs ✌️✌️

May 2026 be better, safer, and fairer. May all that was good in 2025 be better in 2026. May all that was bad in 2025 be things we put our efforts towards improving.

not especially funny but multiple people flipped their fuckin wigs at the suggestion that Small Business Artists should maybe possibly cool it on making a bunch of merchandise out of straight up plastic and consider what happens to this material when it is inevitably trashed/lost

To go slightly deeper into the core question this story asks; For some "how much would you sacrifice for love" is an inherently romantic question, and if your answer to the first question the game asks you - "Who were you trying to save" - is a romantic name, it is that for you. But. (1/3)

VN devs, let's share our works together! Quote this with 4 screenshots from your game and a link to it! Nox Dies is getting traction for some random reason, so let me talk about one of the most personal projects I have ever made. How much would you sacrifice for love? ylvanaar.itch.io/nox-dies

Said it already in the previous post, but this #Yearinart was colourful, included a lot of fanart, and overall made me feel like this was a good year. <3 Already looking forward to the next one! #ArtOf2025

This year's #artvsartist is... perhaps the most colourful one I've ever made. Overall I feel like this year I made so much COLOURFUL art! More fanart than usual, too. I'm so happy with this year <3

The first ratings and reviews are in! Did you know you can also read this story on your phone? So if your trip to the Christmas holidays is long, or you need something to chip away at while on a bathroom break, or an alternative to doomscrolling at night... May I humbly recommend #WolfBride?

every day this becomes more true

The Winter Solstice. It is here, your wait is over. Welcome to the Land of Forest and Night <3 ylvanaar.itch.io/wolf-bride #WolfBride #launch #indiedev #romance #reading

If you cannot wait until tomorrow and the launch to read SOMETHING... I just published a new Christmas side story on Brand of Gold's canon sidestories <3 This time it features Quir and Nerion! tapas.io/episode/3756...

Tomorrow! #WolfBride comes out tomorrow! Let's have one more post summarising some last-minute thoughts. Wolf Bride is a romantasy story where you start your journey as someone who is offered as a sacrifice to the wolves that live in the Land of Forest and Night.

If you want to communicate your idea to an artist all you need is 30 seconds and the basic ability to grip a pen

I just want to say to everyone out there who considers themselves not an artist: Spite towards AI is a 1000% valid reason to pick up a dang pen and start drawing!

The countdown has begun! #WolfBride prologue will launch this Sunday on itchio! Excitement <3
