An article expressing some recent thoughts I've had!


I care about all of my supporters! I just can't afford to give shop items to everyone cause then I'd go broke!

As I've mentioned before on GJ, creators don't get discounts or their own items for free so I have to spend my actual money on giving gifts!

I try my best to make sure everyone feels appreciated, but sometimes it's just not the most possible since I can't be everyone doing everything at once!

I'm a regular human too with high school, college, and jobs and unlike it may seem online, I have my struggles with things as well!

I'm a real person with a real life and I unfortunately can't be here all the time! I really appreciate you all but I can't keep up with every single thing 24/7 and I hope you all understand!

I know it might suck that I only gifted stuff to my top 10 supporters for last month, but I think it's fair because those people enjoyed my art, content, and personality enough to support me so much and if I gifted stuff to every single person who supported me I'd be broke unfortunately!


Creators on GJ or other platforms are people just like you as well and despite appearances, we don't inherently have it easier because of a little icon on our profile or a follower count!

We also aren't really "lucky" for most of the things we have, because even though it seems like we're able to create art, games, videos, music, and other creative works easily, most of the time it's because we've spent years honing our skills and working hard on our dreams!

Nothing in the creative space is a "get rich/popular quick" type thing, and I have personally been working on my creative endeavors for the past 7 years (Going on 8 now).

Although we AREN'T "lucky" to have made so much progress from our hard skill based work, we ARE "lucky" to have people who believe in us enough to support us on our content journey!

Again, I really appreciate every single one of you and I try my best to acknowledge everyone, but sometimes I'll fall short and that's okay since I'm only human!


If you made it to the end then thanks for reading all of this, and I really appreciate all of the kindness and love I've received on the Game Jolt platform!

Big things are coming soon so stay tuned, and thanks again to my top supporters of January!

Random person commented on my old game page today, anyone know what this is about???

I'd probably say not to click that link since it's super sketchy, but has anyone else experienced this recently?

Gamejolt colors quest completed 👍

Made this really DOPE toon shader that allows players to customize the individual colors of their characters in the game!

SUPA!

Me when I get one second of free time:

Already showed this post background the other day, but didn't talk about it. Was inspired by mid-century design—love me some goofy experimental anims from 50s/60s commercials, etc.

Love y'all, and hope you have an excellent weekend!

Working on some texture painting today! (This is for a neat wizard jam game!)
