- 📦 Bundles: Standardised chunks of the set to make it easier to handle and so folks can more easily get what they're looking for.

- 👆 Better downloads page and a complete demo page with modifiers and a metadata inspector.

mutant.tech should be working now! 🎉 If it's not working for you it's probably because the DNS changes need to take more time to propagate.

There should be no more downtime on the site due to expiring SSL certs now.

A Mutant Standard emoji text symbol (square box with a word in it) in the style of the brat meme, with bright green fill, lowercase text and low-resolution upscaled with basic anti-aliasing and mild JPEG artifacts.

If you're a developer, admin or just someone who uses Mutant Standard emoji, I want to hear from you!

I'm running a survey (which should take about 5 minutes) that will help me understand how you use Mutant Standard emoji and how I could make it better!

A purple canvas with the text "Mutant Standard survey!" in bold white font on the left. Below are two emoji: 1. a dizzy face 2. a dark green pointed ear.

There are 3 faces in the background of the graphic in faded teal colours - a smiling cat face, a frowning alien face, and a jack-o'-lantern face.

Some in-progress pics of emoji coming in this month's release.

My Ko-fi members on the £4+ tier saw the full design history 2 weeks ago, alongside exclusive notes and access to a live Discord chat that I post to as I work on these.

You can join them at ko-fi.com/cainoct/tiers !

#emoji #cat
A grid of cat face icons with various expressions, with each row being a progressive iteration on the last. The icons include expressions such as grinning, laughing, crying with joy, heart eyes, winking and kissing, devious, and angry. There are also icons labeled as base versions with varying head shapes and expressions, some of which are annotated with handwritten text indicating adjustments or preferences. The icons are stylized with simple features, showing a black cat with yellow eyes and pink inner ears.

Many years ago, I used to sell @mutantstandard.bsky.social merch via Redbubble. I got a few made for myself, many ended up on storage boxes.

When moving to this new place, I needed a makeshift thing to take my toiletries into the shared bathroom, so I went for this one with an orc sticker on it.
A small plastic storage box without a lid with toiletries in it. on the front is a minimalist vector sticker of an orc with long hair on one side and shaved hair on the other.

My recovery from domestic abuse the past year has not gone as well as hoped and I'm now in a situation where I will have no home next month and I don't have arrangements for where to go next.

I've started a GoFundMe to help improve my outcomes from this situation.

Hey, sorry for the lack of Mutant Standard 2024.02, I am faced with housing insecurity at the moment so it's hard to keep my head on the right track as well as do all the things I need to do.

I think the next release will have to wait until I have enough stuff and/or things get better.

Someone on the Discord mentioned to me that Google has made a tool to build emoji fonts that will probably work a lot better than the tools I tried to make.

I know some folks out there still want fonts, so if you're one of them, you might want to check it out:

It was a very rough year for me, there were a lot of times where I could not get work done, but I still did a good many things I'm proud of and have been really happy to have the opportunity to do, here are some of them (not in chronological order). <3
A collection of stylized, minimalistic renditions of people and objects representing a variety of expressions. The people are furries of different kinds, species and colours, there are smiley designs, and there are also two heart shapes, one adorned with a bow and the other plain. The icons have thick outlines and are against a grey background.
