Thank you—to all our supporters and wonderful contributors for making this project a joy and success. This year's donation amounted to $65.20, rounded up to an even $66.00.

Rose will forever be a passion project, and we're beyond excited we can continue hosting this space to share and celebrate OCs.

On a personal note, I [Mod Vir] am so proud of this team and what we were able to make for Rose's return volume. With four projects under our belt and hopefully many more to come, there's a lot to be excited for on the horizon.

This year's volume as well as the previous three will remain available on our Itch.io store if you'd like to check them out.
