September 2024 :: HexCorp Bulletin

Hello, dear drones and those that didn’t want the free cookies indicated by the hastily created sign that I slapped on top of the conversion chamber. Hex here.

Gonna remove the ‘monthly’ from the title of these as I really haven’t been keeping up!

I might also turn these into an email mailing list thing that you can subscribe to on the HexCorp site. It’s something I need to look into and make sure I’m doing right, but at least then it wouldn’t be bound to Patreon.

So, here’s what’s new:

Hypnosis Streams

Figured I should mention these here!

I’ve been really consistent with my morning streams as of late, and a large part of those recently has been hypnosis.

For me, when this is happening live and a lot of it is improvisation, I don’t want to get into actually implanting any posthypnotic suggestions, and especially not getting into triggers. This is much more about exploring the state of trance and how to get there, wth themes of dronification and obedience overlaid.

I’m aiming to do this every Tuesday and Friday going forward, so if this is something that interests you please feel free to tune in!

(I also really enjoy building up interfaces for streams to really give them that immersive feel, it has been so satisfying to see such things pay off)

New T-shirt Incoming

This one I have been working on for almost a year! It’s a design that I’ve been struggling to get right, as it used to have a lot of text fading in and out, which isn’t great when it needs to be printed!

(ignore the cursor that's only there so I could get the image to zoom in!)

I just need to get pictures of the sample modelled for the site and then I'll be posting this publicly.

I’m going to try and get something new added more frequently, as I love making these things! I am also, regrettably, a perfectionist, which can then cause delays as I spend ages making sure that what I’m making is just right. This is especially the case when it comes to products people might buy, as I'd feel dreadful if someone obtained something and it didn't quite match the image shown.

Lessons have been learnt, at least! Lesson one is: Do not incorporate transparency into your design c’mon now.

That One Null Drone Toy Hood Oh My Gosh

This isn’t even a HexCorp update, this is just wanting to gush about how cool that Furrjoi hood is and ‘it will be mine… oh yes… it will be mine.’

(if you don’t know what I’m talking about just look up the manufacturer, the hood is there as their latest product!)

(genuinely though I am going to take so many photos with that thing it’s just so perfect)

Oh Gosh There’s A Lot In The Pipeline

I have at least three shoots planned next month, and that’s not including making sets with local drones or anything to do with the hood mentioned above!

At the moment I’m trying to focus on having one set that posts a week, whether that be a photoset or a video! I have a lot in the backlog, but if I spend all my time doing just that (as I have for the last few months) it stops me from being able to work on the larger projects (like the DroneOS file I’m trying to get done before the end of the year)!

And that’s everything I wanted to talk about here! I do have other stuff that is currently being made but it’s all classified until it’s in a state closer to release. What I will say about that though is it’s been nice to be getting to write a lot again, it’s something I’ve missed a lot when pivoting more to the visual creation side of things.

(Oh, and also, I have a project manager again! It felt important to start working with Pandora Hex once more as these larger projects all have to be kept spinning!)

Take care, darling assets, and have a good productivity cycle!
