As we have found out over and over again in this regime, they do back off if we keep the pressure. Never give them an inch. They’ve already taken far too much.

Blinkmoon is a SCAM studio that says they're in Vancouver.
Their website is polished, they have a list of exciting credits and a game demo. But they don't have any info on the founders, and the blinkmoon name isn't actually credited on any projects they says they've worked on. Be careful out there

The offenders are blinkmoon.com
I don't even think they're a real studio, this is a whole project dedicated to scamming
Upon closer inspection some of their links are broken or lead to an HR website that works with OpenAI

One run you die to Fourth Chorus. The next, you die to a pair of wood wasps. The next, you beat the game. In the wise words of Sherma, never despair pilgrim friend!
But I think it’s time I put Silksong away for a while haha.

I’m unreasonably in love with the “Send your name around the moon” thing NASA is doing with Artemis II. Heck yeah let’s put our names in space, get a boarding pass, and get a printable passport while we watch the live stream.
Space exploration should always be whimsical and involve arts and crafts.

There’s a lot of really cool behind the scenes for this movie in particular, but the hallway scene is a highlight. Especially with the technology they had access to at the time, making this look the way it does is really impressive.

Everyone watch Eiru! Cartoon Saloon really goes all in for everything they make and Eiru proves that yet again
Cartoon Saloon wants their Eiru short to be nominated for an Oscar, so it's been made free to watch for a couple days.
Now's your chance to be exposed to animated kino if you haven't already.

Cassandra Complex is the fastest I’ve ever gotten my rewards for a crowdfund. My goodness that was quick, and it’s so so good! I can’t wait to watch the full thing.
Definitely got more than what I expected or paid for from this kickstarter so I know the show will be phenomenal.

I know 2025 has sucked for a whooole lot of reasons, but there’s also a lot to look back on that I’m really proud of doing.
The year started off with developing my best script yet in a workshop with Lindsay Katai (she’s awesome) and the rest of the workshop writers group (also awesome)

I also wrote a short film in the internship. We’re gonna be filming that early next year so I’m a liiittle excited.
Until then, a friend from the internship asked me to write an episode for her audio drama and I immediately said yes. So we’ll see how that goes too!
A lot of things are looking up.

I have just wrapped up my final meeting for the paid internship I’ve been doing for the past couple months (thank you @floridaman4040.bsky.social for telling me about it!) and man, it’s been great. The things I’ve learned and progression toward my screenwriting dream have been invaluable.

As much as I’m loving The Mighty Nein show, Caleb’s full backstory feels crazy to reveal in episode 5! Crazy to me it was revealed in even season 1 but even so, glorious to finally see it animated.
