That's awesome! Congratulations on coming this far with this game! Unfortunately, your Kickstarter link is broken.

Wow, what a bold change! I commend you for not just rewriting the back-end of your game but your website as well! I'm looking forward to wherever the old-school web awesomeness goes from here!

Oops I forgot to mention... I'm learning #godot right now! I made some silly projects and wrote a post to share my progress. I see another reboot on the horizon... 😅 patreon.com/cheekynauts/posts/adventures-in-161002286 #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #pixelart

Our lives. Our families. Our futures. The LGBTQ community has always fought for our right to exist freely. This Pride Month and every other month of the year, we’re protesting the government’s attacks on our rights and celebrating our queer joy.

Happy LGBTQIA+ Pride Month from Azure Claw Comics! And by that, I mean from me, an asexual genderqueer cartoonist who's created a comic with no confirmed straight people in it as of this time!

A digital illustration of Azure Claw Comics's Azzura Silverstar is depicted in front of a photo of a real Progress Pride Flag. To the right are the words "Happy Pride Month", and below that, a signature reading "Dave V.".

Here's a classic drawing I did for @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social, inspired by the way she draws herself. Or at least, how she did when she gave herself longer hair. Sam is doing great at posting and building a community out there, and she's doing great as the boss of Cheekynauts Entertainment!

Here's an old piece from when I used to do traditional painting! I've filed it under the robot section of the Azureverse. But is that really the best place for it? I'm not sure. I just think robots are neat!

Small traditional painting in yellow and purple, depicting a little golden robot slumped over in an alleyway, with smoke rising from the open door to its broken heart.

Personally, I've never been very good at small talk or eye contact, so I don't know how that's supposed to work. At least online, people tend to be more accepting of me being a little strange!

Here's another classic Azure Claw Comics art of Azzura Silverstar, seen here having a lovely day at the beach after setting a Sovereign watchtower on fire. This one has a lot of empty space so I can use it as an Azure Claw key art. But other than the Facebook page, I haven't done that much with it.

Digitally colored illustration of a lobster girl with blue hair and blue claws standing in front of the ocean on a cloudy day as waves roll in. Behind her, there is an evil tower that glows with an evil light, but it's also on fire.

Oh no! It looks like the robots are fighting again! This time Three is fighting her younger sister, Four, a human-sized robot made of a collection of nanomachines that can reassemble themselves into practically anything!

(7/7) On the theme of today's mood, here is the mockup that started it all. I made it for the Squared Up! #pixelart zine, and the theme was 'A Grand Adventure', and it has been that so far! 💜

Mockup of a dual-screen DS style game world.
The top screen shows a grassy lakeside area with a leaf house and a swirly maplebun tree, animal and bug people enjoying leisure activities, and Sam looking a little more like an early Simpsons character saying "This place is unreal!"
The bottom screen shows a world map of Moonshell Island and icons for a map, backpack, and journal.

Happy #PortfolioDay! Hi, my name is Dave, and I'm writer, illustrator, and online cartoonist! I'm working on Azure Claw Comics! Here are some drawings I did of my original characters! 🕸️ azureclaw.com 🎨 ko-fi.com/davevincenty... 🅿️ www.patreon.com/azureclaw 💬 azureclaw.com/contact

Cheerful portrait of the rogue archivist Meredith Black. She's wearing a frilly white sundress with dark brown leather boots and a dark brown leather jacket, and she's posed like she's starting to spin around.

Digital painting of a young lobster woman with blue hair, blue antennae, and blue claws. She's holding her hands up to her face in cheerful excitement.

Ink drawing with digital coloring added, depicting three figures standing dramatically against a bold yellow and orange sunset. One, a woman with pigtails and glasses who is holding a sword. Another, a woman with blue hair and blue lobster antennae and claws. The third, a person of unspecified gender with black hair longer in the front than in the back, holding a shotgun.

A pencil drawing of two women standing in front of a ruined wall overlooking the ocean. One of them has her hair in pigtails and is holding a shotgun. The other has lobster pincers for hands.

At one point, Azure Claw Comics could have included space noir -- gritty crime drama, but in space! In this concept sketch, Special Agent Claire Lopez is on the trail of a space murderer! But she's found out too much of the conspiracy underpinning the whole case, and people are turning against her!

Pencil sketch of two figures against a large window opening out into outer space. A young woman is getting up from the floor and pointing a gun at a man who is pointing a gun at her in return.

In the world of Azure Claw Comics, Azzura and Meredith occasionally have to venture into the less-visited parts of town where the Sovereign occupation watches over everything. And sometimes, this leads to danger!

Azure Claw Comics character art! For my first mini-comic, "Ninja Thief vs. Undead Hunter", I drew these character models of Izumi Yamazaki and Steve Makar, and I made them transparent and in full color just for fun. You can read that mini-comic here, by the way: azureclaw.com/comic/acc-0a...

Digitally colored ink drawing of a young lady wearing jeans and a crop top and ninja boots, with athletic tape on her arms and legs, carrying a wakizashi like she means business.

Digitally colored ink drawing of a spiky-haired dude in a 3/4-sleeve leather jacket, wearing gray jeans with anti-vampire stakes on a thigh belt. And he's carrying a large pistol because he also means business.
