I draw thumbnails on paper first! I draw as small & shitty as possible for both the thumbs and boards, to make sure the basic bones of the storytelling are working without being distracted by 'nice drawings.' Also makes it easier to change stuff without going "nooo I spent so long on those drawings"

Good question! There isn't one fixed endpoint but I do have vague longterm story goals I'm looking towards. I write each season assuming it could be the last, so there is a potential finale, but then I keep wanting to do more. Right now we have 4 more eps recorded and waiting to be animated!
@aaronlong.bsky.social Do you have an endgame for #SubloAndTangyMustard , by that i mean do you plan on the series to run long or is the end near for this show? Just a little question, I honestly want this show to be like rick and morty lasting years, but whatever plans you got I'm cool with it!

"indies games" as a idea now basically just encompasses what the entire medium of videogames used to be. which makes it kind of meaningless other than it being a contrast to whatever the rest of the game industry is now. so "support indies" is a fully uncontroversial statement at this point.

Aronofsky has never had anything to say, he simply desired the appearance of artists who do. He was, in many ways, an AIbro before those could exist
