Hi everyone and Happy New Year! 🎆

It's been a long time since I've sent out a newsletter. I wish I had an impressive reason like being too busy trying to release my next novel, comic or some other exciting thing. But the truth is I found out Tinyletter (the service I was using to keep in touch with you guys) was being discontinued so I've been converting to Buttondown instead. I've also been very busy with more of the non-artist related life stuff like:

• Adult ADHD Diagnosis

• Working on ✨myself✨

• Playing Baldurs Gate 3 actually, that is quite impressive, me and my girlfriend poured like 110 hours into that thing

Despite this, I did finish something this year and I am notorious for not finishing things, so I'm going to take a moment of your time to celebrate this.

STRANDED

Earlier this year, I entered MECH JAM IV, a mecha-themed game jam on Itch.io where contestants had 2 weeks to finish a mecha-themed game with optional, additional themes. I went with Low battery and Resourceful. You can see the outcome here: https://drunksylvari.itch.io/stranded

It's a very short game with a focus on narrative, featuring character art from Frosted Ink Illustrations -which allowed me to focus on the rest of the game in the limited time frame! It was a lot of fun to make and my first finished attempt at a game. I hope you enjoy playing it too!

I have some projects I'm really excited about working on and sharing with you in 2024. But rather than fill up more of your time and screen with what I plan to do, I'd rather get working on the projects themselves so I can share them with you sooner.

As always, you can reply to me here or get in touch via my Instagram.

Wishing you all the best for 2024,
~ Jon
