2023 is over now and 2024 has started. Time to remember what I did last year.

First of all

PAINTER BLAZER

The biggest thing last year was working on Painter Blaze. February 19th was the day that I first posted about making a game and soon I learned how to use GDevelop and since that I've been working on Painter Blazer. It is so far my biggest project I have ever done and introduced me to game developement which I find very interesting. Most of my big projects before have fell flat and I lost interest to them in a week but somehow this one I have been able to keep my interest for almost a year. Big thanks to these people who have been willing to help me with the game. @wobwobrob for making all of the music because I can't do that at all, @GGishere for being the voice of Blazer, @Nebulate for helping with a few character designs and coming up with some new ones, Sail for playtesting the game and lastly Poly for also playtesting the game.

A comparision of the first public image and current state of the game.

Very first working prototype of Painter Blazer.

Current look at world 2. Yes I'll explain what is going on in an upcoming developement update.

Now for the none game dev stuff and to the less nerdy stuff.

ART PORTAL

I posted 23 finished artworks to the art portal in 2023 what a coincidence. 19 digital arts, one traditional art, two pixel arts which both were for 1-bit artapalooza collabs and one other.

Biggest art post was definitely the custom Lily Funko Pop. It was nice to give my sculpting skills a go again and I'm really happy with the end result. I had done sculpting a good amount a long time ago when I was younger.

My favorite digital artwork was Crazy Frog fangirl it was fun to try to make the background detailed but not overly detailed and hard to look at.

MOVIE PORTAL

I made my first movie portal post this year which was the Painter Blazer reveal trailer. Was fun trying to make a colored animation for the trailer and in general I find making trailers enjoyable. I should edit more videos to be honest.

OTHER STUFF

I joined @GGishere 's Newgrounder's Realm Discord server and met some cool people such as @Nebulate , @BroSkullEmoji , @Prismisho and @PachkaNG . Some cool people indeed.

My fan count went from like 80 fans to 148 fans in 2023 which is pretty cool and I ended up getting to level 25. I've been improving a bunch at what I do which I'm happy about.

That's all from 2023. Let's see what this year will bring up.
