I've now released the generation code, origin text, bonus materials, and 10,000 newly generated copies of Subcutanean, my queer horror novel where each copy is unique (as I promised back in 2020 that I'd do five years after release). Details and links here: subcutanean.textories.com/source-relea...

24. Nuts It turns out I've never actually had roasted chestnuts and I had to look up what they look like. With that, we're done! Thanks for going on this holiday journey with me! #pixelartvent #pixelart

16. Pinecone In retrospect, I probably should have picked a palette with more shades of brown. I've been struggling with some of these, but I didn't want to modify my colors partway through. I think I managed. #pixelartvent #pixelart

I came back from Japan with the worst jetlag of my life, so I’ve been doing unintentional polyphasic sleep for a few days and I am v grumpy. I’ve never had my cycle split into two sleeps post jet lag before! Send help. 🥱

This is something worth understanding about young people and games- highly social multiplayer in particular. I think these games are seen more as places to this generation and when development stops they become ghost towns.

I decided to do #pixelartvent! Here's my catch up post for the sprites I missed so far. I'll be posting them daily from here on out. I've struggled in the past to do these daily challenge type things, but I can manage a 16x16 sprite a day, right? *blinks* right? #pixelart

My big project: The Death Generator. It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything. deathgenerator.com
