Happy Hallowas!

Oh, so Patreon has official newsletter support now, huh?

Okay, I'll play with that. Let's see how it goes. Let's see what happens.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The last couple weeks have seen us adjusting to Lonely Hooves being back on the schedule, as well as some related audience feedback and discussion regarding getting the website back on track to function as a primary platform in the face of DeviantART progressively becoming an absolute shithole. AI image generation all over the place. Their own take on NFTs that are somehow even more useless than NFTs. A marketplace thriving on monopoly money selling the rights to characters nobody can actually own because of how they're created. Brilliant stuff. Totally unhinged. So we should probably start looking at other options, is all.

On the Bunallow front, we got the Halloween collection for the year up, and I even made a cute little sticker out of our mascot that you can just slap on all sorts of things. There's an acrylic keychain too, if you're more into that. I am trying to have more to offer, especially alongside the featured partner commissions as they come out. Hooray!

Like, rawr or whatever~!

As for streams, we're in a bit of a transitory period it seems. I wound up streaming Lonely work on Twitch last Wednesday instead of the JRPG session because that page wasn't gonna draw itself, and that went great for me! (You can still catch the Twitch VOD here for a few days!) Less great for Kaz who felt pressured to get that thing turned around and ready by the next day though, so I might need to find a better time for things like that. I've really been struggling to hold to any sort of proper schedule in any sense lately, so clearly something isn't working. I need to assess.

GAMEDEV & ANIMATION

Oh, we got us some things what be wigglin'.

And how!

I had a little burnout stint and used that as an excuse to whip up a couple new monsters for the dungeon crawl side of Slime Forest. I still need to make any sort of combat engine, but one thing at a time. And right now that thing is silly little guys.

They hunger for the sweet, sweet goo.

I've also got a little more progress on the ever-present haunted manor YCH, with the primary animation for the banister pair finally being more or less ready for final clean-up on the linework before I move on to... other parts??? I've almost forgotten what working on other parts is like. How exciting!

AND THAT ABOUT DOES IT?

I've been revisiting Vampire Survivors since the first time since the first DLC dropped and hoo BOY there's a lot to do now. I just finished a run where I was playing as a hoard of angry bats. Mood!

And that about concludes things, but I'm gonna try one more new thing. Beyond the paywall is the commission work I can't show on here publicly because of things like tiddies and dicks! You can find that stuff elsewhere for free, but I'm real bad about keeping patrons up to date on it because I feel like an arse calling it "paid content." So here it is, for the people the payment processors and Patreon content overlords say are allowed to see it, after the fold! If you're not a backer, just like follow me on Bluesky or whatever. That still works. For now. Until they get weird too, anyway.

Oh, but I did slip in a couple alt versions I haven't posted publicly yet. And might not anytime soon?? I said I'd release one of them if its posted version hit 69 likes, and last I checked it wasn't even close. So I guess that's a nice little bonus. Two dollars! ;)

Until next time!
