Fresh Hot Flavors is REALCHEMIZING into...Draconic Alchemy! If you'd like to join us on this journey to make art fun for us again, please follow us at our new account: Draconic Alchemy

Xenon and rad excitedly exclaim in a big speech bubble with text that reads:

We wanted to be upfront with everyone who has stuck with us for so long! If you’re interested in coming on this journey with us, please follow us on our new accounts! We’ll be reposting any new Draconic Alchemy stuff on our Fresh Hot Flavors accounts for a good while, just so we can make sure everyone knows where we’re going next.

So... what IS Draconic Alchemy?
Is it alchemy by dragons? Alchemy for dragons? Alchemy to become dragons?!

We’re hoping you’ll come with us and find out!

rad and Xenon look excitedly into a cauldron in the bottom left corner. There is text in the middle that reads:

Xenon and rad have been up to a lot of cool stuff in the past few years. Recently, rad has been really into hand embroidery, doodling with acrylic paint pens, and sewing up funny little guys. Xenon has been screenprinting, making zines, and working on Creature Creation Station, a video game!!! (It’s really cool and cute and you should definitely check it out!!)

Draconic Alchemy is our new name, and our new adventure!

We wanted something that could be ever-changing, ever-evolving, just like us, and that would embody the concept of making art to have fun, and following wherever our art-loving hearts decide to take us. If we’re not having fun with something anymore, we’ll take the parts we do still like, and alchemize them into something new.

I don't need generative AI to make placeholder stuff because "angry Gandalf with a shotgun" has been my placeholder art asset since 2012.

So, for making "baby dragon" audio, I just took a cat purr - slapped it a bunch in Audacity - and did that 3 times for 3 baby dragons. Gamedev is a lot of fun sometimes :))))))) #indiegame #gamedev

If you want to make video games, do it! Pick a free engine and try it out for six months. If you don't like it, change engines! Just know, regardless of choice, you'll have to spend countless days fighting a stupid bug and it's not fun AT. ALL. AND. YOU. HATE. IT. SO. !! MUCH !!!!!!!!!! #gamedev
