Onto 2025!
🕑 Added 2024-12-30 21:00:11 +0000 UTCthank you for joining me for another year!
your support means the world!
this year had me in the first half, i'm not gonna lie. i was struggling with some personal stuff but i'm very happy with how the year turned out in the end. i think we got a lot of good art done and i've got a better handle on things now
some heads up for this year:
(tl;dr no polls in february - i'm hand selecting winners
the large single poll may be split in 2
suggestions may have more limits)
NO POLLS IN FEBRUARY!
I won't be taking off, but i will be doing an artist pick for that month.
suggestions will run as normal on the designated tiers, but all winners will be hand picked by me
POLLS WILL BE CHANGING
due to the influx in suggestions, polls will have to be reworked to accommodate more options. i'll most likely split the singles poll in two - then go strictly by vote count to select winners. there's no perfect way to do it but that's the pitch so far
SUGGESTION GUIDELINES
i may also look into lengthening cool downs between characters being re-suggested and i may even have months limiting particular IPs. apologies if this cramps anyone's style, but variety has always been and will continue to be a priority to me - and i'm realizing i may have to step in a bit more to achieve that
Wow if you read all that, here's the reward: project talk!
Meringue Cafe will be wrapping up with it's 12th page on February 14th
The next comic will be a mainline Lime plot and that should be a summer release
My goal is to start putting out 2 "chapters" of limetime comics a year. right now, the plan is two mainline chapters in 2025 - but we'll see.
my other priority is moving streams to picarto. i've been meaning to move over there for a year or so, but reconfiguring my set up is an undertaking and will cost money. which is fair, my old pc set up is about a decade old barring some swapped out components. we might have some janky ass streams in the mean time while i transition, so be warned lol
happy new year!
thank you!

Thank you for all the amazing work you've done through out the year! It's honestly pretty crazy how many insanely high quality pics and comics you throw at us each month and still manage being consistent too. I'm grateful we have such an amazing artist like you with us and I hope you can keep doing what you love doing <3 As for the poll changes, honestly, I do agree we could use some changes and restrictions to the polls. As much as I love seeing ZZZ gals and Vtuber gals drawn by you all stuffed up, it really begins to dilute any creative and good character ideas in the polls when they have to compete with either of those two. Hope we start seeing some variety around February and onwards And lastly, have a happy new year <3

Hoping that new suggestion system will open more chance to minority and variety.

Looking forward to the changes to the polls and seeing the kinda variety that we get with the suggestions change! Thanks for another amazing year of your art Soft, much looking forward to what next year will bring!

Changes sound good to me, especially limiting certain IPs some months.... some things do win all the time and it would be nice to have more variety.
