Damn fever.
Won't lie last 2 weeks been a nightmare, between fever, Diarrhea episodes, hard coughing etc etc, been a wild two weeks to be alive. It also leaved me quite diminished health wise, depleted on a physical level tbh. So i took it easy in the end of the week just to rebuild my strengh.
Now i'm in clear better shape and my last treatment arrived at term today, so, i'm officialy healed. Still a bit of coughing, and tbh a friend contacted me and other to tell us he was covid positive, so.. i'm crossing my fingers, but, i think i'm out of the mark for it, so should be alright.
This week, finishing rewards and comms. Simple as it is.then we more on for the rest. Got one comm, and one goblin pic sponsorised to do, once both are made i take new comms!
Jusant:
That was the game that helped me trough the desease days. Had it for free from humble bundle and wanted to play for a while already, and.. was worth the wait tbh. Really good experience.
For those who dunno, Jusant is an old term about the lowest state of a tide.
Game is about a young person, girl or boy, hard to know, who would start to climb a spire. Obviously there was villages and human activities long ago, but now all is abandoned. By reading documents and stuff, you understand that at one point there was a port and human acitivity all over the spire, with different settlement and "civilisation"
But one day, rain stopped, and slowly water dried, and then the ocean itself was gone and the peoples left the spire until no one remained. There's a legend that , at the top of the Spire, some giant creatures, the Balast, keep the water for them. And here is the start. You climb, with your lil pet blue frog, discovering things as you do.
Gameplay wise it's a sort of puzzle climbing game, with a really enticing climbing. Let me explain, if you play with a controler, one triger ll be for left arm, the other for right arm, you hold it to keep hold your grip. YOu use left stick to direct your free arm in a direction. So you have to manualy grip, release and move around. Take a few minute to get to it, but once it's known you climb fast. Then they add mechanics, like jumps, python you can put in the rock to save your climbing, some path you have to open using your frog power over nature etc etc.
The whole got a Miyazaki movie meet French Artist Moebius vibe, really Nauusica type looks. You climb at your speed, there's stuff hiden there and there, mostly letters and fresco, to learn more about those civilisations that were here before.
It's a chill experience, but a real masterpiece, gameplay wise, and visualy wise. Remembered me a bit of Journey, in the vibe, if you know it. It's made by the studio that produced life is Strange too
Anyway, finished my climbing, i think one day i'll give it another go. It's a short game, finished it under 7 h and i took my time to visit. So.. take it a look if it's the type of experience you might seek
ArtSlaves?
Started art slaves again, what are those? Well instead of commission me like "hey i want a gorilla with a funny hat fightin a giant Shrimp" and me providing it after a few day and for a fixed summ.
An art slave is a live stream, where you pay me a hourly fee, and i draw what you want me too while we talk of it, live.
So, what is the point? Well, the interest is mostly character creation, like, we're in direct you can give me direct imput and i can change or try stuff.
one good exemple is, last live we were going in one direction and i had an idea, client was not sure it would worked, i tried, was ok but.. missed something, but then i proposed to just try a different colour, we did a few try and it actually worked fine once done. It kinda help to go quickly in one direction.
But.. i won't allow those sort of "paid livestream" to be done with everyone.
First, it's hourly, mean i put a clock, i work and you pay after, means i need to trust you a minimum to do it. So, not with strangers, second, we have to be live for it to work well, i think i would allow the other to be just typing, but i would prefer direct voice imput when we perform it. So it limit a lot of peoples that won't want to actually speak on chat.
Anyway, not for everyone, but can be a fun experience, contact me on discord if you might be interested. I'll tell you if i feel confortable enough to try it with you!
