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.

I found treasure! The ants were trying to claim them all, but whether they like it or not, they're sharing some with me.

Have a lovely weekend, everyone.

What's your favorite game soundtrack? #GJAsks

The GameCube Animal Crossing. Nothing else sounds like it, and it doesn't ever really get old to me. If anything, sometimes it's just a little too relaxing for when I need to work quickly.

This exotic ship showed up (on a very ugly planet) during my permadeath run in No Man's Sky, but I didn't have enough units to buy it. It was over 44 million!

It's whatever, though. Once I reach the center, I'll be going back to my main save.

Pride isn't JUST for Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈

Finished ice skating squirrel patterns. I submitted the first one for another fabric design challenge on Spoonflower. We'll see how it goes!

Wishing you all a good start to a brand new week.

We have a question and we wanna know: What's your favorite enemy design in gaming? Complete the quest and you'll get 100 Coins!

By the way, new avatar frame and background in my joltbux shop featuring rubber duckies!

Really had to tone down the background to get it to work for GJ, but I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out in the end.
