Just finished Feed by M. T. Anderson and oh my god it was amazing. When I talk about how good old YA books used to be, this really is a shining example of that imo.

I made a micro fangame where you play as a Kindergarten aged Veyle as she escapes recess and just wanders around town. There's no plot, lol. But there's three minigames! heiden-minigames.itch.io/kindergarten...

I've been looking into trying to make 3D animations in unity using blender models I've made. Does anyone have any great beginner friendly tutorials about 3D character animation workflow im unity? For context I'd be interested in making low poly 3D models. Any popular plugins?

General gamedev update: I want to challenge myself to feel more comfortable using 3D tools! I've been working on this kindergarten game thing and I'm quickly finding the limits of the 2.D system I've currently got set up. I decided it's time to stop avoiding Blender so much. 😆

Related to last post but I've also made other FE mugs, a Cormag x Artur as well as an Alear family one. :) I started laughing so hard in the studio when I was working on the Cormag x Artur one. I was so embarrassed 😳 (the people at the studio are very normal I do not fit in ahahaha)

Embarrassingly, I've made two different IkeSoren mugs in my pottery classes! It's really fun to drink out of them when I'm drawing fanart. I call it my IkeSoren juice! 🥤

Earlier this year I finished a little farm sim I made for the FE scuffle server! It's free and features a bunch of people's OCs you can befriend + a little unlockable ending. Really proud of the code in this one. I felt like I really leveled up! heiden-minigames.itch.io/fire-emblem-...

I don't go here (LiS) but this article speaks a lot to the attitudes I see from fans these days. "The devs did so-and-so dirty, they didn't get their happily ever after/redemption arc/love story/etc". Sometimes the point is not everything is wrapped up in a neat little bow!!

Text reads, "Characters don’t deserve anything, and I don’t think fans do either. The goal of a story cannot simply be to satiate the hunger of fanatics or to smooth out the ripples of a world. Even the most indulgent self-insert fan fiction arguably operates on higher goals than this; the writer crafts the silly tale in order to address something in their soul. You don’t write to fix a story; it ideally addresses something inside us. You don’t write because fictional characters need it. You write because you need it. You do it because there’s something in you that needs to be said."

Text reads, "When I see marketing about Reunion talk about giving characters what they deserve and being for fans by fans, I cannot help but brace for something terrible. Even if, as the game’s Xbox Wire post states, “their reunion could be no quick fix,” I cannot help focus on that final word: fix.We must fix this. We must fix our stories. We must save our characters. We must please our fans. We must protect our bottom line. We must take it all back. We must smooth all friction."

You've seen "Holy shit! Two cakes!" so now take this energy with you into the new year and be whatever you wanna do #art

A pencil sketch of a simple, cat-like character pointing at a simple, hat-wearing, hyena-like character (representing the artist), who is holding a cake. The pointing character is saying, "That's not the cake I like. Why don't you make a GOOD cake like the popular one I like?"

The character holding cake, who represents the artist, responds by saying, "Why don't you shut the hell up and get away from my goddamn cake"

2025 recap!!!! :D :D This was one hell of a year LMAO (and I shall not get Into It but just know it was a LOT. ) I feel like often we find ourselves stuck in a pattern and then *BAM* everything explodes and we have to find new systems to do things.

I love how the two exits to your farm forces you to choose what you are going to do today. Will you go into town? Or will you go to the mountains? There's not enough time for both. 👏👏👏

Bro I love how the set design in HM BTN forces you into contact with the TV so you're more likely to use it in the morning but allows you easy access to your bed at night. I'm normal. I'm normal I think about maps a normal amount.
