Today, along with the usual mascot introduction, we're going to meet a couple of support characters.

Bio below. v


Vending Vance

Joined Game Jolt: 2013

Hobbies: Haberdashery

Dislikes: Counterfeiters

Bio: Vance is a game merchant who searches far and wide for only the finest goods. The word "schmooze" is not in Vance's vocabulary; he wins everyone over with his pure gentlemanly demeanor, not to mention his dapper headwear. He has two particularly loyal extraterrestrial patrons: Customer Carl and Consumer Candy. Both avid gamers, they can't wait to find out what Vance has in stock next! On Game Jolt, Vending Vance stays true to his name by helping indies deliver their paid games to a global audience.

Author's notes:

Vending Vance's bio is pretty self-explanatory, I believe, but in the second image, we get a little demonstration of Consumer Candy expressing a particular craving she's been having for a specific type of game, and Vance figures out just the right game for her. That illustration was created for Game Jolt's improved game recommendation system.

Customer Carl also shows up in another illustration, but... I wonder which one? Hmm...

Unfortunately, I had to rush this one at the last minute, but a customer already bought a swatch, so I guess I didn't do too badly! LOL

... Some of them have "spider legs."

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.

I made this salad for MumBlargh, and she wants me to share it with you all.

Hmm... That's a lot of mouths to feed. I might have to make a bigger salad, huh.
