Tiktok How to read Homestuck Hire Domi to edit and produce your podcast!

Moosie and I will be reading some Paradox Space comics for an episode! We'd like to get to them all eventually, but we want opinions on what should be our top priority.

I posted this on Bluesky, but figured it would be good to share here, too, especially since I've only recently started to be active again.

Podcasts:

Published 32 podcast episodes

Edited about half of them, including 2 videos

Had Justin/Tensei, @song-of-the-sunrise, Jan, Cam, Tezrak, and, of course, Domi and Moosie on as guests between the two

We wrapped up Moosestuck, our blind readthrough of Homestuck, and started the Moosielogues, our blind readthrough of the Epilogues! (I've, of course, already read both, so it's Moosie coming in blind)

Streaming:

We finished streaming our blind Friendsim stream (again, for Moosie and a few of the VAs)

I streamed an additional 9 times. Maybe I'll be more of a streamer next year lol

Games:

I co-wrote an interactive fiction game, In Ten Years, with Matt Horton for The Worst Game Jam. We drew from our experience growing up queer in a small town in the late 00s. Someone listed it as one of their GotYs!

I wrote Pick Your Gender for inkJam and won first place! Someone even paid me $5 for it, which is the first money I've made from games! It's an interactive fiction game about my experience growing up trans masc.

Writing:

13 chapters for Bondless Prince, Bloodless Knight, my over 110k word dirkkat fic! (As of writing — I have this scheduled a week out and I'm hoping to have written more by the time this publishes, maybe even finish it!!)

A fic for Polyswap (that I hesitate to post here as it's on my primarily nsfw AO3 and I'm trying not to attract enough attention to get terminated again, but I might link later lol)

Four posts for Felixe Fixates, my media review blog that I really need to update more often, like get back to this How I Met Your Mother analysis that I started lol

A 100 word microfic for NYC Midnight's, well, 100 word microfic challenge lol I got an honorable mention in the 1st round!

Podcast Guest

I was a guest on Short Game Long Talk to talk about Expelled!, which I helped play test last year into this year, plus a bonus episode where we talked about whatever lol

Play Tests:

Some of these I only play tested certain segments while others I did the full game.

Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion III — (released) Homestuck fans will like this, as well as anyone who likes weird meta about the game industry, (good) match 3 games, sexy dinosaurs, and pathetic little guys. One of my GotYs!

Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator — (coming soon) Currently has a demo out! If you've played Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, you know what this is about. Except it's babies. And you're betting on how their lives will go. Genuinely you could grab story prompts from a lot of these weird alien baby lives.

Mythmatch — (coming soon) Also has a demo available. It's a merge and life sim game where you play as Artemis and deal with other Greek Gods while also hanging with mortals. Lots of fun!

TR-49 — (coming soon) I saved the one I'm most excited for for last! This has a weird not-demo, but short game that engages with the premise. It's a decoding game with a lot of mystery surrounding the very foundation. Have you heard of Dorothea Pemberton? An innovative author who died way too young. I found her books. I have her books. Her book does not exist. Neither does Isambard Arklovich's. Genuinely such a great game that makes me feel smart every time I solve a puzzle. I'm so excited for everyone to play this!!

There's a lot more I wanted to do this year -- I started it out recovering from a burnout with grand ambitions that quickly led to another burnout. It's tough to have so many things I want to work on and so little time and energy to do so. But now's not the time to focus on what I didn't do!

Now's the time to celebrate everything I've achieved, take a break, and figure out how to better pace myself for next year. Thank you to everyone I've worked with and everyone who's supported me! Here's to another year of making cool shit, no matter what life throws at us.
