"Ape-Roo" Plans

Yeah, I feel kind of "blah" for missing out on April Fools this year. Lots of good joke content made it out from artists and website updates to FurAffinity and e621, from what I saw.

Keeping folks updated:

Current Art Stream work (this is done!):

• I found a better way to show music that I'm streaming without too much manual effort. It's not perfect, but it's a lot easier to use.

• I looked at dual streaming to Piczel and Picarto simultaneously, but I might not have the bandwidth. ISP costs would be too high. I just might have to choose one site over another or continue hopping.

• I've got a little "privacy" curtain on the left side bar in streams. This is meant to be where the gallery of 'previous works' will go, though I still need to figure out space and tweening.

Future Art Stream work (still more to go):

• I'm still working on a few experiments to streaming. Either animations or avatar stuff.

• I've got assets in progress for a new avatar as a stream profile. If I make it just right, I could use it to update old avatars throughout.

• I'll be working on a new "Streaming!" announcement pic. Mostly so it doesn't look like I recycled an older image (which I have totally been doing for a while...)

• Re-adding "previous works" gallery to the left sidebar.

• I'm looking into Spud tablet because it looks cool. I would love to get a weird-looking hand blocking the screen while I draw X3

• Trying to figure out sharing Aseprite on stream for future "pixel art" interests.

• Debating streaming coding as well, but we're talking for later projects.

So yeah, lots of good stuff.

I still need to periodically take breaks from streaming weekly, but only as needed. Patrons on the Discord will get notice asap.

I also want to set up a new art project for April (Ape-Roo), maybe in time for Easter. We'll see how that goes. Keeping it low-key...
