[Newsblade] Vol XXII

[6 new episodes of Stars, 2 Pimp My Storefront updates, Stars card game mockups, a Merciless Dungeon comic, some Cut the Deck previews]

Life Updates

• ProlificPenComics is passing through New Zealand soon, so I might go say hi if I can manage it

• My brother is getting married in 6 weeks, so I gotta burn off all these Christmas snacks... I'm having a hard time getting back to good habits...

• Watching a little Jujutsu Kaisen here and there

Product Updates

• I've redone my personal portfolio website - feedback is welcome, but its meant to be pretty basic. I don't use it much, but I do pay for it so I should try to make the most of it.

• Daily episodes of Stars continue, you can read them here. Every time Bean isn't in an episode, people have been asking "Where's Bean?"

• The Super Fan Mega Bundle has had 4 sales! Every sale reaffirms that I'm a real artist! I'm growing in power! Raaah!

• The I Thumb Thumbs Shirt has had about 10 sales... You guys are weird.

• I have no official plan to make a Stars card game, but I'm thinking about how to make some kind of small card game with art assets I already have...

• I turned some Merciless Dungeon assets into a pick a path comic - I think it was pretty well received

Social Updates

• Stars was featured on the Webtoon app under "Epic Adventures"!

• BlueSky 24.6k > 25.2k

• I've been purging episodes of Swords from Twitter that have no comments on them. I think I got rate limited a few times.

• The Swordscomic Threads page is losing followers for the first time as Facebook makes bad policies

Patreon Updates

• Well met, new members! Wyatt, Matthew, R, Dionne, David, Søren, Rupee, Jasper, Jennifer, Pounder and Monique! We're happy to have you!

• OG Swords is currently winning the Priorities Poll

• If you're a paying Patron, jump into Pimp My Storefront and request a piece of swag - it was just for new members at first so I didn't get flooded with hundreds of requests right away, but nobody read that part, so now its just open to all paid members. Don't be shy! Ask away!

That's all for now! Thanks!
