Hoy here we are and here we go

Workflow:

So plan was to finish all the rewards of May And the Morathi monthly before the 10/10, so far we're on time. Once this done, ll work on comms and goblin project founded by you guys =D
And then monthly monthly rewards for the rest of the month =D
Want to be uptodate on monthly at the end of this month, and then start to swallow back the patreon reward again, wanna end the year with a 3 month delay between them so, taking commission this month mostly to be sure i got nothing but patreon reward to do in Novembers.
Yeah planning ahead... but we know all my plan fails, so, let's see if it work for once D=

Chilling and a sandwitch

LOTS of games recently, frostpunk 2, metaphor refantazio demo is out and it's a blast, was in the middle of subnautica And .. another gem came out that i waited
Caravan Sandwitch.
It's a Chill chill game. Plot is simple, it's the future, you're from a planet that was only half terraformed. There your sister disapeared 6 years ago, and recently, you had a distress signal from her, so you go.. There's huge chance she's dead, you know it, but at least we might have answer.
You get an exploration truck from Rose, the local "everyone"'s grandma, the last truck working on this planet. Most peoples are gone, and the one that stay struggle a bit to make a living, but they managed to keep a quite cosy village on the middle of the ruins of the failled terraformating project.
As you got the last founctioning truck you'll be tasked a lot to go, explore, help peoples. Basicly, imagine Death stranding.. but chill. No ennemy, no fall damage, you're here to explore and contemplate. Whole game got a somehow cartoony style and clear Ghibly vibe in the designs.
It's really chill. Not a game you play to beat scores or get better. more the type that invite you to come and sit while listening to the radio, chilling and letting the time pass.
Short exploration game with a soothing feeling.
I hear you, "but dark, you're a 37 old gamer, you started on hardcore NES game, you love to play paradox shit fulls of number colomn and play rpg of 200 h long.. how come you grumpy asslike such things"
Simple, first, it's good, second, remember kiddo, there's nothing easier in life than becoming a grumpy old shit that hate everything. Be carefull it won't happen, and go explore this wonderfull cool French game =D

Weird times:

I never did better number, money wise, than recently. Like i'm doing good, looked at my recent months and, it's like twice what i was making 2 years ago.... But to be fair, 2 years ago 700€ was a good month.. so, not that impressive.
But it's a good growth and it soothe me a lot.
On the other side my main social network is Twitter and damn.. it's getting worse and worse.
The site shadowbanning is so bad that, even if i got 74k follower, no drawing or post i did in a month managed to be seen more than 20k times.
Wich is still a lot, but those are the better numbers, the big ones. Most pic don't even reach 1/5 of my audience
It's quite humbling, and a bit disapointing. Fell a bit like in those games where the game tell you "your guy got 95% chance of hit" and you miss 1/2 of the shot, cause the number it show you ain't the true one and the game don't want you to have it too easy. See this feeling? Well frustrating the same way.
Can't do shit about it, so i just post a bit everywhere, trying to keep an active presence there and there
It's just that weird mix of "feel like i'm growing fast" and "feel like no one see my shits anymore" You guys are sure to never miss it tough =D The clever ones!
But all to say, don't hesitate to spread the word about my art if you got friends interested ^^
Experience show that the good old word of mouth is always the best way to make new friends and fans! =D
So, before all, thnks again for the support and all the kind words you guys provide ^^
