The current status update of #WolfBride - the Early Access for "Spring" is coming out this weekend (this weekend!!) and has an approximate of 70 000 words with the prologue attached.

This is also a reminder that if you want to become my supporter, Ko-Fi will have founder's prices this weekend only.

Time for an Exorcism update! The priest is feeling slightly overwhelmed.

Per Rami: The deleted post was "what are travel tips for going ot DICE or GDC, or other games events in the US".
Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever.

If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.

Whenere I'm trying to think how to draw Quir, this is what I google for reference.

To me she's a mixture of a baby foal and a german shepherd puppy who has not yet grown into her ears.

I originall wrote "bunny who has not yet grown into her ears" but, Chapter 2... GS felt MUCH more appropriate.

Related to my previous post: I have also been really hyped about getting to write the Summer part of the story. Writing Spring has given me so many thoughts for Summer, so now I am just a coiled spring ready to launch onto that next chapter <3

Last night I finished writing Wolf Bride's second part, "Spring". It is scheduled to come out on Spring Equinox, 20.3 on a Friday, but if you absolutely cannot wait you will be able to have it as Early Access next week when I am launching my ko-fi!

If you want to know what else is there, 🧵
Tomorrow! #WolfBride comes out tomorrow!

Let's have one more post summarising some last-minute thoughts.

Wolf Bride is a romantasy story where you start your journey as someone who is offered as a sacrifice to the wolves that live in the Land of Forest and Night.

I'm in the mood to talk a bit more of Old Magic, so here's another snippet that is actually from part 2! (The one in the last post was from part 3, which I am hoping to get out and done in 2027.)

It was a surprise project I was not really intending to make. Yet, it has brought me a lot of joy.

New year, new Old Magic shenanigans.

Drawing the second part has been slow, because I feel like my art has been at a standstill and I am no longer progressing to a direction where my art would look pleasant to ME - but slowly getting back to it.

For me, pushing through it is what works.

In case you missed it last year - I wrote a small game about the crime of being small, about cruel gods, about tradition and those who can/cannot break it.

crunch in games is reckless, it’s running a car without oil or care, watching sparks fly and smoke billow and going “that’s what maximum efficiency sounds like, when parts fail I’ll replace them knowing I squeezed 110% from them”

except the parts are people so the driver is evil as well as stupid

I shrimply think that if you think this way about your fellow gamedev, DOUBLY so if you are a CEO or in any position of team or studio leadership, you have no place in the future of this industry. Full stop.
I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

When I say that non-ecommerce web monopolies are fragile, I mean that it just takes one sicko to realize that people just want TheThing, to make TheThing, and then nobody has any reason to use your enshittified platform anymore.

Seeing MySpace era css brings a tear to my fuckin' eye.
okay. let me tell you about carrion. i only have so many words per post so stick with me.

carrion is a privacy-*first* adult text roleplay (ERP) platform for furries and perverts. it takes the best features of the long-runners in the space and removes two decades of built up UX/design debt.

Hello, followers! My wife just finished a massive project to create a website for gay furry perverts who value their porn and their privacy together. And she has asked me to help share it to the world.

The two of us would greatly appreciate your patronage and/or your reskeets :))

Good morning, everyone! Do you know what is expensive?

That is right, owning a car in a northern, wintry cold landscape. (Reblogs appreciated!)

Due to an expensive brake maintenance, I'm taking commissions as of now. Take a look here at these beautiful discount prices:

May 2026 be better, safer, and fairer. May all that was good in 2025 be better in 2026. May all that was bad in 2025 be things we put our efforts towards improving.
