Monthly Update for Artists Lounge: FanartFriday, what the General channel is for, and collabs!

Read the article to find out more


This is a way to be more transparent with the community, showing off what's coming or cooking for this/the next few months!


FanartFriday

For the people that do this weekly event from GameJolt, I wanna help them a bit in this community, so expect a channel about this next week! (not today because I feel its too late to do that)

This channel will be strictly moderated, so anything that isn't related to FanartFriday will be either removed or moved to the correct channel, depending on what it is


What the General channel is for

Ever since the Discussions channel was rebranded to be a General one, there's been a lot more posts in there, but even then I feel like I should clarify some things, most importantly that the posts that should go there are those that don't fit in any other channel, but still are art related

Here are some examples of what can go in General:

  • Asking questions about Art (from technical ones to simpler stuff like "What should I draw?)

  • Sharing gamedev progress

  • Doing polls related to art

  • Writing and Music (these can go in the Arts channel with no issue, but if you feel those fit in General, you can post them there too)

  • Doodles

And here are some examples of what doesn't go there

  • Vents and/or Ramblings (that aren't related to art)

  • Sharing things like Music or Video recommendations of things that aren't yours

  • Basically any off topic thing that isn't related to art in any way

Maybe I didn't display what this channel was for correctly, but this should hopefully clarify that

Any future posts in General after this that don't fit the General channel will be removed, as I want to keep this community focused on art and art related things


Collabs

Collabs will happen! I'm just in the brainstorming phase right now, as I can actually do them now rather than wait due to my forced vacation

I'm aiming for the first collab to be about one team (Artists Lounge) vs another team (my discord server), I just need to figure out a good format to do it in, in a way that's easy to understand

Each time that a collab happens, a submissions channel for that will be shared in the Artists Lounge community for you to post in, afterwards it'll be archived but still be visible

More news about this soon!


More updates may happen across the month, this is just what is planned or is happening right now for the community

see y'all later!
