YO FOLKS!

I'm super stoked to be testing a new feature Postybirb just added! EMBEDDED IMAGES IN THE TEXT BOX! This lets me be able to type all this stuff out, with multiple images, ONCE, and then it'll post to both sites! Copy pasting from Patreon to SS had A TON OF dumbass issues, so I'd have to go in and correct a lot, plus images would un-link after about a week or so (to be fair, this might be an issue with dropbox too, but then I can look for another image hoster) So I'd have to hand upload, AND position them (because they'd auto upload at the bottom of the screen zzz). It was a huge pain in the ass. Huge thanks to Lemony for looking into this for me <3!

SO, let's give it a shot!

I've always had fun doodling ponies, and I was enabling a friend of mine a bit ago. To do so I doodled up some OC concept. Here she is!

Which of course, I had to do doodle up some smut ;)

(Hopefully that worked lmao)

OK, anyways, here's what we've been up to! Starting with A Word from Vixel!

11/6 weekly update:

Hey floofs!! Short update from me this week! I've been struggling with unexpected bugs/issues finishing up our new build.

This part of the story expands into some uncharted areas in the Deep Woods, has new critters to meet, a new lantern equip mechanic (with lighting effects), many scripted moments, Scarlett hopping around in the forest, new dialogue for all the critters, and an animated scene. There's a special new font for the dialogue typewriter that needs to switch on and off during dialogue, quests and inventory items, rules to adjust for dates/gifts/gossips, sound effects, etc. It's been a big update! :O

Most stuff's working well in the big picture; and I'm currently making a methodical pass through the whole update to address remaining problems with details & polish. New builds should be ready to share in a few more days but we want to do it well and not rush something buggy.

Best wishes for a lovely week! <3

On my end - I've been prepping the animation for the next next update :O! It's kinda nuts, i think I mentioned before it's like, a 10 character orgy. It's gonna be super dope when it's in the game, there's some layered systems going on, and it should make for a really interesting thing!

Anywho, I was doing the fluids and prepping it for import to Unity, have a sneak peak of some of the critters!

This timing isn't final, the loops will be on their own logic system, much like Peter's was back in the Scarlett/Rascal animation!

Anywho that's about it. Got some fun stuff cooking up on the side, but keeping things hush hush for now.

3D Print Mabel Update - That's been going well! Still learning new things and running into new problems, but I've got solutions for stuff :> My biggest issue NOW is that it's COLD. And cold inhibits curing for stuff Dx! My acrylic spray to guard the molds wants to be at least at 55 degrees (f), and platinum silicone likes to cure in at least 65 degrees! It's the start of Winter now, so the garage is getting quite cold, and when I have the door open for ventilation, forget about it lmao.

Later this week we will have a bit of a warm spell and I'll try to get all of the spraying and prepping done. I can mix and pour the silicone in my garage and bring it inside where it's warm to cure. That should be OK.

Anywho that's it for now! See ya guys later!
