Discord Thoughts and Character Spotlights

Added 2025-11-01 22:00:06 +0000 UTC

The Discord results are mostly in, and the feeling was mostly that it would be an interesting feature, but not an overt priority. For me, that means that it is currently on the back burner, and if it does come, it might be a simpler chat group where people can hang out from time to time, or to hold some community events, which might be fun.

This just means we have to move on to the next feature I want to propose to you - Enhanced Character Spotlights!

To avoid cutting into Theo's screentime and to deepen the side characters you all know and love in every weekly character spotlight I was thinking of including a short story or scene (around 1000 - 1500 words). This could be about their childhood. Defining moments of their life, or their POV in the current storyline. That will be left up to me to decide.

To implement this I would split Character Spotlights into two sections: Illustration spotlights, which are just new illustrations like we've been doing so far, and would be released on Saturday. And a Character Spotlight released on Sunday 10P.M. London Time.

For this Enhanced Character Spotlight, votes would have to occur until each week's Thursday at 10 P.M. so I have time to write it with the depth it deserves. How do you vote? Just comment on any recent post, I make sure to read them all :)

Let me know what you think of this idea, and comment down below on next week's illustration (no illustration this week as there weren't any votes) or any adjustments you'd make to the feature!
