So as some of you have seen, I'm working on a game which is temporarily titled [PROJECT: CLERIC] and I'm currently doin' some concept work for it.

The main concept is this:

You play as a novice cleric in an order that moves between dungeons and assists adventurers with basic necessities such as corpse retrieval, revival, and saferoom upkeep.

More info will be written and sketched out over time, but that's the basic gist.

As things go for now, I'm laying out the groundwork for the project and sketching out the ideas as they come. I plan on making a prototype in RPGMaker and bringing on more people to flesh it out into a proper, full game. I appreciate the amount of support I've received so far, and I look forward to sharing more with you.

I'm also finally getting a decent grasp on Blender and I'm looking forward to working with that, so if you have any video or tutorial recommendations for that, i'm all ears.

Love y'all.

So as you all know, I had a stroke in November, and as such I have been unable to hold a job due to all the side effects it brings with it.

So since the government is dragging it's ass with giving me any assistance, I'm opening up a personal Fundraiser for assistance. I'll be drawing some fanart and hopefully some stuff people will actually like, but in the meantime it would help greatly if you threw me a few bucks and maybe threw in a sketch request too.

Love you all, and thanks for everything.

Aight, so I'm running a small recruitment drive for my personal Discord server, so if we're mutuals and you'd like to come in and hang, hit me up here or at @/coughman on Discord.

I'm hoping to socialize more and talk with people during future streams.

If we're not mutuals, I still greatly appreciate your support on everything.

Love y'all.

Love y'all.

Alright, time for an update!

As y'all know, back in November I had a minor stroke and have been in recovery since. Thankfully I'm in a significantly better state than I was when it happened, though i'm still in a rough state. Though now i'm able to walk and see without much assistance (still walking with a cane though.)

As things are right now, i'm regularly seeing doctors and getting proper medication. I'm also in physical/occupational therapy, and thankfully drawing is part of that process! I can feel my creative drive returning and i'm raring to get to work on my own ideas, so you'll definitely be seeing more from me here in the future.

Theres still some hurdles i'm trying to overcome, my typing ability needs to get back up to snuff and my words often get jumbled, but I appreciate everyone being patient and sticking with me through all of this.

Now, I do still owe some people some commissions and i'm more than happy to get those done. If you're still around and would still like your order after all this time, drop a reaction or a comment to let me know you're still interested. I appreciate everything you've all done for me and can't wait to bring more to you in the near future.

Love y'all.

I'm still getting back in shape, ramping up projects, and planning on making Newgrounds my main base of operations in 2025.

I'm close to being fully operational again, so please wait warmly until then.

Love you.

I'm back.

I'm finally free from the hospital/physical therapist and back home. It only took a fucking month, but i'm back.

First off I wanna say thank you to everyone who left a comment on my last post showing support. I couldn't respond to everyone due to my condition at the time, but believe me when I say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You have no idea how much it means to me.

As for my current condition, I am doing significantly better, but I still have some hurdles to overcome as part of my treatment.

The right side of my body is slightly weaker than it was, so i'm having trouble with balance and holding a pen properly. These are, however, getting better over time. I just need to keep moving forward and push myself to do better. While it'll take me some time to get back to a comfortable level with a pen, I will get there. This'll probably be a good time to learn blender regardless.

I appreciate yall being patient with me, and supporting me through this rough time. I promise you all i'll come out the otber end of all this better than I ever was.

Love yall.

Got hospitalized with a stroke a few days ago.

Still in the hospital and disoriented.

I'll be back in a few days.

Love you.

Been a minute since I've made a proper update.

So life's been turbulent the past couple months. Been in and out of jobs, recently got hired for a job that I fought tooth and nail for, just for the guy who hired me to get fired and the new management to purge everyone he hired.

Including me.

So we're back in that boat again.

But I'm not taking commissions again for the foreseeable future. Due to severe physical and mental health issues, I'm already embarrassingly behind on my previous batch. To the few dude's who ordered something from me here, I'm making it my mission to finish up what I owe you by next Friday [11-15-2024]

Hold me to it.

On the topic of my mental health.

This year's been turbulent on a personal level. In and out of jobs, getting the boot before I can get insurance, family issues, and other just... nonsense. I'm not gonna drag you down with details, but I'm finally getting some long, LONG overdue assistance with it.

In January.

They're really booked.

But it's locked in and I'm looking forward to it.

Finally, I wanna bring up the past week.

As you all know, we had an election here in America and emotions have run high. I've unfortunately lost a few friends due to differences in opinion. So I'm doing my part to decrease the inflammatory brainrot on social media by keeping my shortform shitposts to Discord, and I'll be using this blog feature here more often to talk about projects and brainstorming.

And lastly I wanna say, to all my former mutuals/friends who have chosen to distance themselves from me for one reason or another:

I understand.

You have your reasons, and I respect them.

If you ever decide to associate with me again, my doors are always open.

I hold no grudge towards you.

Here's to the future, everyone.
