Onto 2025!

thank you for joining me for another year!
your support means the world!

this year had me in the first half, i'm not gonna lie. i was struggling with some personal stuff but i'm very happy with how the year turned out in the end. i think we got a lot of good art done and i've got a better handle on things now

some heads up for this year:
(tl;dr no polls in february - i'm hand selecting winners
the large single poll may be split in 2
suggestions may have more limits)

NO POLLS IN FEBRUARY!
I won't be taking off, but i will be doing an artist pick for that month.
suggestions will run as normal on the designated tiers, but all winners will be hand picked by me

POLLS WILL BE CHANGING 
due to the influx in suggestions, polls will have to be reworked to accommodate more options. i'll most likely split the singles poll in two - then go strictly by vote count to select winners. there's no perfect way to do it but that's the pitch so far

SUGGESTION GUIDELINES
i may also look into lengthening cool downs between characters being re-suggested and i may even have months limiting particular IPs. apologies if this cramps anyone's style, but variety has always been and will continue to be a priority to me - and i'm realizing i may have to step in a bit more to achieve that

Wow if you read all that, here's the reward: project talk!
Meringue Cafe will be wrapping up with it's 12th page on February 14th
The next comic will be a mainline Lime plot and that should be a summer release
My goal is to start putting out 2 "chapters" of limetime comics a year. right now, the plan is two mainline chapters in 2025 - but we'll see.

my other priority is moving streams to picarto. i've been meaning to move over there for a year or so, but reconfiguring my set up is an undertaking and will cost money. which is fair, my old pc set up is about a decade old barring some swapped out components. we might have some janky ass streams in the mean time while i transition, so be warned lol

happy new year!
thank you!
