[5 new Swords episodes, a Stars episode and an early screenshot of rebuilding the Stars visual novel in RPG Maker MZ]

Product Updates

The Everstabbed still needs help getting funded! There are just a few days left.
Someone generously gave me RPG Maker MZ from my Steam Wishlist, so I purchased some Visual Novel plugins and am tinkering around with a Stars visual novel - I won't let is distract me from finishing this part of the Swor'nament however
Expect around 7 more pages of Swor'nament and then I'll be returning to normal episodes in time for a Christmas special and then some Lore-heavy multi-page arcs
I've been writing a lot of good sword jokes! It's probably a good thing I've been letting them marinate for a while
I've lowered the price of the God of Patreon tier and added some more tangible rewards to it, including 2 Stars episodes per week if we get 3 Gods - I'd love mini-goals for 2, 4 and 5 Gods if you have some quirky ideas! Something that benefits everyone would be best. It only takes one God for me to reach my big earnings goal that I've been aiming for all along, which is why that tier is priced the way it is, not just because $69 is a funny number...
I've got a handful of enamel pins to send out before Christmas but I should have everything under wraps soon so I can enjoy a few days off... to clean the house!

Life Updates

Watching Bleach S3, Lower Decks (incredible episode), finished Arcane season 2 (wow!!) and watching Men in Black : The Animated Series as some background noise (ps. I love Heimerdinger, what a lad)
My new songs I'm listening to too much are Spin The Wheel from Arcane; and Got Boost? from the new Kamen Rider series (which I haven't seen, but the theme is a bop)
I played a little Suika Game this week, which is the first time I've played anything in... a while! It's too hard to commit to a real game at the moment.
