New years post! Yeah, I know it's feb

Hey all!!! It's been a while since I made an update post! I've just been ridiculously busy with the end of the chapter and other Flora side projects. Now that Call Sign is FINALLY over, I'm able to breathe a sigh of relief and finish up some obligations that have been hanging over my head for the past 3ish months!

Also, you may have noticed, but we hit the 1000 mark! I don't know how long we'll stay here, but this DOES mean I'm going to be inserting an extra update into the schedule until I start the next full-color chapter. (Probably until May or so? Then I'll be reshuffling the tier amounts a little to fit a manageable workload!)

Oh, and I just sent out zips to every patron in the 10 and beyond tiers! If you were a patron in those tiers from October to Jan and had to drop below for any reason, please send me a message so I can send you the image pack(s)! I fell a little behind in sending them because a lot of the work I've been doing has been spoilers, but now that the end of the arc is here, I've been able to send them out.

Onto project talk, and what's in store for this upcoming year!

• Neon/Chip VN!

So, Opa and I have been working on a VN about Neon and Chip since like... October? I honestly should have been able to knock out the assets for it in a few days, but I didn't even have THAT kind of time to spare because of how much work the Call Sign ending took. Now that it's finally done, I've finished up everything crucial and it's projected to be ready for Valentine's day! (I'd still like to add some nice extra touches, but we'll see.)

• More of Opa's stories

I've been holding onto some of his stories for going on a year, now, that I just haven't been able to illustrate or post while the chapter was running. The chapter's over! So the stories are finally coming. First up is a sequel to Tangle, Tussle, Tiger -- and a followup to that, too. Neon's in both of them (surprise) and they're extremely fun. Well, to me. You know I love good tension and misunderstandings...

Aside from those, there's some miscellany coming, too - various interesting things he's written that I'd like to finally get on the site. They're all quite good.

• Goofy sketchy comics

It's been a long time since Not Good With Kids, huh? I'd like to do another story in that sketchy style, since it's fun and easy and low-pressure. Just something nice, after the emotional turmoil of "Paranoia". I need my breaks from that stuff, too, as much as I love drawing despairing scenarios.

• A game?

Eevee and I have been working on a game about Star Anise for the past couple of months. Well, mostly Eevee this past month, but I'm finally able to work on sprites/music for it again. No idea on the ETA on this one, but it's not super huge, so maybe before summer?

• The next chapter... (next arc, really!)

Again, I'm estimating around May before it starts! Details to follow as soon as I actually know when I really will start it, since it'll more-or-less mean I'm entering a nonstop comics work state again!

• Final words

As always... Thanks so much for the support, everyone. I don't really ever have the words to describe how happy it makes me that I get to keep making stories and art to share with you all, but please know that I work as hard as I can to not squander this opportunity. It means the world to me that I'm in this position thanks to everyone's kind support.
