This week's mascots are pretty much inseparable, so I'm introducing them all at once.

Bio below. v


The Social Butterflies

Joined Game Jolt: 2012

Hobbies: Light gossip, communal flower gardening

Dislike: Synthetic fragrances

Bio: Tim, Tam, and Tom (from left to right), known as the Social Butterflies by all and sundry, grew up together in a small country village. They have always been close friends, minus a few childhood squabbles, and share a desire to contribute to the health and happiness of their community. In their free time, they enjoy good conversation, along with cultivating an organically grown communal flower garden. When there's news to be heard, one can always count on these three to know even the smallest details of a matter!

Author's notes:

It's probably pretty obvious that these three represent the various communication-centric features of GJ, such as comments, the forums, and so on. I like to think of their positivity and peaceful surroundings as being a sort of model of the ideal community vibe we could hope for here on Game Jolt.

Since the community is such a tremendous focus here, the butterflies have been used in lots of different ways on the site. At times, when I've received an assignment to create a new graphic, it's actually been hard not to think "Tim, Tam, and Tom would be perfect for that," because they're so easy to use in various scenarios.

The second image I included was made for an article about two years ago. It's a favorite of mine, because it really emphasizes the strong team spirit shared by these lovable characters.

Very toxic, invasive, and the plant is covered with thorns, but even so, I'm always excited to see these horse nettle berries. The colour is so nice.

The worst bug I've dealt with? #Devruary

I mean, wasps build nests in my car every summer!

Hey everyone, hope you're having a good weekend. I'm just spending some time with one of my squirrel friends. Take care, love y'all!

Animal snacks have returned for all my charge supporters!

Wow, has it really been two years since the last time these were collectable, or am I missing something?

Have fun, and thanks for the charges!

Akatori is an epic metroidvania where you wield your staff to fight, jump, and explore diverse realms across different eras.

It's also one of the games that's part of Steam Next Fest!

Big thank you to my top ten supporters, and everyone who sends charged stickers my way—it means a lot.

Getting ready to do a little volunteer work with friends this morning. I'm all bundled up—it's chilly out there. Stay cozy, y'all.
