GOOEYCANDY Newsletter & Updates! 🥛 [MAY2025 - Issue #09]: "Got Milk?"
🕑 Added 2025-05-01 23:00:05 +0000 UTC
Welcome back for another Gooeycandy Newsletter, where you get up to date with ALL things gooeycandy! Let's dive right in!
Still in convention crunch time, but now I can show you a lot of stuff I've been preparing, even if it's not QUITE available yet! But look forward to a shop update soon!
🎨 Art & Project Progress:
New Stickers: Here's a few of the sticker designs I finally completed! They haven't arrived yet, but I'll be sure to make a post when they're listed in the shop!
There's also a few new character torso stickers!
Milo Card: It's nearly complete, and it's coming along soooo cute! With the completion of this card, there will be 12 total card designs!!
Project "BRO": So, unfortunately, due to tariffs for imported products, Project BRO is on pause until I can figure out if it's still worth investing in after the mark ups. 😑 I'm really sorry to hype you all up and then not have anything to show for it, but I really love this project and I really don't want to announce it if I can't even follow through with it right now :(
Hands On! Progress: Because of certain merch endeavors having to be put on hold, the new grand plan for after the convention is to go HARD into Hands On progress… So that includes interviewing for a new programmer, finishing assets, and seeing if I can pick up where I left off! Just a month 'til the convention, sorry it's eaten up so much of my time this year, I forgot what a mission conventions can be!
Like usual: If you know anyone who is skilled at Unity/working with 2D assets and may be interested, send them this application please!! I’ll likely be reaching out shortly after the convention wraps up!
🔎 Current Focuses:
Printing and cutting merch for Barapalooza (the Mexico City convention I will be attending in June) is my current main priority. I'm in paper cutting hell.
Completing the Milo Card!
I wanna throw some time towards my Character page on my website!
And of course, the piece of the poll winner!
💬 Ongoing Polls/Suggestion Boxes:
The character poll has ended! Shane from Stardew Valley and Doug from Monster Prom were head to head for quite a while, and then Kristoff took the lead out of nowhere!! But alas, the fight has come to an end. It seems like Doug got the win! Don't worry I'll be sure to do something with Shane & Kristoff as a consolation!
Congrats to Doug and thanks to everyone who participated!!
❔ Questions For You!
Doug from Monster Prom has won the Character Poll! So this newsletters question to you is:
What would you like to see in the Doug piece?
Got an idea for a scenario? Someone to pair him with? Ideas for alts for the piece? Anything at all, I'm all ears! Let me know!
And if you wanna describe his personality for me, that would help! I've never played any of the Monster Prom series, haha.
This section focuses on my personal life & stories, so if that's not your cup of tea, feel free to skip this segment!
Been playing Echoes of Wisdom in my (very little) free time finally, it's so good. I am so bad it at lmao. Loving how different it is than any game I've ever played. It's almost...Scribblenauts-esque with the amount of ways you can tackle every obstacle. Also did not secure a Switch 2, but my roomie did so after Barapalooza, I WILL be detoxing in Mario Kart World for a bit lol.
My brain is still kicking my ass, unfortunately. But I've been keeping myself occupied enough to not feel too bad about it I guess. Been pretty stressed out about a lot of things in life lately, but there's also so much to be happy about and to look forward to, so I'm choosing to not let it get the best of me. I'm a little anxious about the whole, flying with gay p*rn to Mexico and almost definitely being stopped at customs with it....lol. I’ll keep y’all updated on how that goes…
⚽ Now to Gooey with Sports: My kickball team won 2 out of 3 games yesterday!! Hell yeah! Just a few more games before the season ends!! Wish us big kick energy!!!
🎥 NOW WATCHING: Survivor, Hacks
SPOILERS AHEAD!! Don't read if not caught up!
Survivor: Chaotic ass season. Mr. Milkman had such a personality shift, and he got caught trying to manipulate Joe. Sad, I'm gonna miss his massive pecs every Wednesday... and now STAR!! nooooooooo. I absolutely loved Star's energy this season. It's such a treat to have someone do "not typical strategy" moves, like giving Eva the idol or not playing her Shot-in-the-Dark when it absolutely made sense to. It gave old school Survivor where people play more on vibes and it was really charming! Gonna miss her!
Hacks: We're so back!!!!! I need my girls to formally make up, but it seems like we're on trajectory for that. Also, not poppers knocking miss Deborah Vance out immediately ☠ This show is so fucking good please watch if you haven't.
Feel free to hmu in the comments if you're also watching any of these!

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll looked up the animation and I like the angle, I'll see if it works! As for Hands On titles, unfortunately future ones will only be original characters, so I can upload them to Steam :'( And so happy to hear you're liking the newsletter style! It's definitely a lot easier for organizing my progress and keeping me consistent!! It also makes me feel so professional haha. I'll be sure to keep it extra gay in mexico in your honor !!
The Visitors Eye
As I said before, in the latest voting poll, You could experiment with his slimy, gooey features in the climax! I've been considering a composition similar to Lewis's bottoming animation from Mystery Skulls by Matainfancjas. Like Doug getting fucked at a beach or somewhere (maybe Doug bottoms with the top of any Monster Prom character of choice, maybe Morty/Whisky/ Stu, or even less popular ones like Pilgrim & FJ, as you already did Scott the werewolf, I believe?) You could perhaps do a straight-up solo to be Rick Mitchell composition showing all that slime fun in a future hands-on title ;) But aside from that, I’ve been busy with college finals later this month, so I can’t wrap up his whole character yet in Monster Con. I’ve been obsessed with and kinshipped him since his playable camp debut. (I’m literally him irl but except slime lol) The Monster Prom wiki (it moved to Wiki GG) has all of the sprites and artwork related to his latest MonCon appearance, and the OG fandom wiki has his MonCamp content. But overall, I loved the business you’re making and the behind-the-scenes content in these newsletters! I can’t attend barapalooza despite having family in Mexico atm. (I’m from U.S.) But to think there’s a strong community connection with gay bara in my home country warms my heart ngl. 🥰 (The same goes with gay furries in the Philippines/Brazil)

I really really want to but I honestly don't have much time lately 😭😭 may watch a playthrough while going to bed

If you'd like to know more about Doug, Monster Con is on sale on steam currently, also Monster Camp (where as part of a DLC he's a playable character) and every other game from the franchise, the game is quite addictive if you like whacky and funny situations, or you could watch a gameplay, it's fun honestly
