2023 was a big year for me! In hindsight a whole ton of stuff happened and it's sort of hard to absorb it all.
Furry Cruise: In March I went on a week-long Caribbean cruise with three of my closest furry friends. Gorgeous beaches, fancy restaurants, relaxing hot tubs, sunbathing, games and just an entire week with zero responsibilities. I'd been on a few cruises like this with school friends but it's really different when it's close friends from the internet, it was a really chill time and I can't wait to repeat it.
Gallery changes: A few galleries closed, changed management or lost their marbles! The most notable of these is FurAffinity and Twitter which imploded in 2023, and Bluesky and Itaku which exploded in 2023. I'm glad I had the foresight to set up PostyBirb or this would have been a tough year.
Porting Monster Mind: Wow! I'm really proud I accomplished this. Monster Mind was written in HaxeFlixel, and HaxeFlixel is "cross platform" in the same way that a fetus is multilingual. Y-yeah I... I guess the potential is there, SOMEDAY... if spend a lot of time and do a lot of work yourself. Porting Monster Mind to Windows and HTML5 was very hard, and it made me appreciate Godot more.
I completed 141 commissions this year and drew about 200 non-commission pieces as well. I have two video games in active development, one of which should be done in 2024 (phew!) so 2024 should be a big year too! Thank you for keeping me company.
