sparkle and shine, the world is your mirror (Patreon)

ok, so firstly the usual bits, for patrons who joined in december:

• everyone's been added to the credit list, please let me know if you want to be listed under a specific name
• level 5's and up have had their account connected on the forum
• messages sent out to tens
• and for y'all higher tier folks please let me know if you would like a Thing, a la sprite requests or protag etc, i was talking with some folks on the d'cord earlier last month about how no one in the hundred tier has actually requested that and that's cool and does make things easier but also i want to do stuff for you as thanks!!!
  so like.
  idk, call me?

speaking of sprite requests, i did a few of those last week or so ago. these are not directly related to development, but since they're a Cool Thing i thought i would share.

first up was a recolor for Amine from the winter party's secret cyber santa event! He asked for a Furret based on Apollo Justice from the Phoenix Wright series.

secondly is a patron reward for alistair, who gave permission for this to be posted. he asked for an ethereal sort of espeon, and I am personally very happy with how this blessed child came out:

(looks even better on darker backgrounds too)

finally, for marcello as his prize for winning the Lie Alive Showdown event at the party, we have this rainbow articuno to put ho-oh to shame!

anyway that's all just a bonus aside.

so i think i am going to start making these new patron check in posts also serve as kind of a month-in-review- type thing to sum up what's been going on for those who may not have the time to read every winding post i type, and for myself to remind myself, oh right, i haven't done literally nothing lately, as i am prone to feel
but that will probably have to start next month given how rocky december was between finishing the move and holidays and etc

nose is to the grindstone tho, yo.
which really sounds painful... now that i think about it, maybe i'd better not say that, given that this isn't painful or anything and i enjoy the stuff......... details.

but, speaking of things reving up this month, the rejuvenation stream with cass is starting tomorrow. here's our streaming schedule for the first part of january.

...and we'll go from there.

it'll be on https://www.twitch.tv/amethystblack and since a lot of people have been asking, i will go ahead and upload the full stream to my youtube as well for anyone who misses it. for those who don't already know, that can be found here.

development.
it progresses, and finally at a reasonable pace.
i have one scene to test, and then one (1) more scene to write, and then i am free from the giant question mark story chunk in the middle of the episode. definitely still more story to do, but what it means is that i can move onto things like mapping, and working on stuff that everyone already knows is going to be a Thing like Victory Road and the last gym, which means it will be much easier to show, talk about, and stream for you all.

gosh, victory road. i'm looking forward to it, but also dreading it. it'll have to be huge.
soon.

so i have one more post i can put up about e18 and its development soon, about the glass workstation. i'll get that going soon to tide y'all over and hopefully we can have some fairly consistent posts again.
