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...

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.

Yippee, wahoo, yaheeeee!

Little something I put together in Blender and Krita for #Mar10 Day, 2026.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

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!

Wanted to try my hand at making a playful minimalist floral pattern, specifically with wallpaper in mind. Probably one of the easiest things I've ever made, but I think the effect is fun.

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.

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!
