Just Make Games! (An Update 4-3-25)
6 months ago
A long overdue update and a reminder for myself to just get these things done!
Despite the time since the last one this will actually be pretty brief, generally covering what I'll be doing for the near future.
Game Work!
This month I'll be focusing my energies on getting the Sketch Game to a programming focused state, which means pumping out lots of assets. At the same time I'll be working on animations for the PandaCam demo, as that has left the drafting phase too! I'll probably share some of that here, though I don't want to spoil too much of either. The past few months I have felt very paralyzed by my own critique, the feeling of not being good enough, needing to improve this or that to be able to make this stuff work and I've realized I really just need to move past it and get something out there. It doesn't need to be perfect-- I called it a sketch
game, even-- or big and impressive, just something to show myself I can put these together and get something out there for people to see. When the time comes I hope it's something some of you will enjoy~
Original Work
As a result, I'm really gonna be winging it on original pics (Sunday Sketches mostly) for a while. There won't be a particular theme or series or format, just me kinda doing whatever I feel like. If you see something you like feel free to let me know if you want more--the suggestion box has been a big help and I'll definitely be drawing from there as well this month. I'm also open to simple art trades or collab pieces if you'd like. I also have tons of great Subscriber Sketches to post! Last round was especially amazing and I'm very excited to start sharing those next week. I've also been quietly working through my backlog (including one which will be done very soon) so you might see those popping up every now n then too.
Milestones and Thank Yous
I have completely lost track of these! We have blown past so many so quickly I'm not really sure what to do! When I have less on my plate I'd really like to do another free raffle or gift series, maybe some simple animations even for people. Short of it is, Thank you so much for supporting my work!
As an extra note I also plan on touching up my SubscribeStar soon--some new banner art, icons, and a new pricing chart that better shows off the sketches you get at each tier. Since I've improved a lot it's not really accurate anymore.
That all said, if you'd like to collab or do an art trade feel free to send me a note, and suggestions can be put in the comments of the linked pic on my profile or sent in a note as well. As always, thank you so much to everyone who faves, watches, comments, or just takes a peek at my work! I really appreciate it!
