i’ve been following your art for the l4d2 art a little while now, and seeing you as the lead artist of my newest hyperfixation (date everything) has me absolutely shaken to my core!! you were an incredible pick for the role, the art you and the rest of the team made is absolutely fantastic!!

is there a character you particularly enjoyed drawing/designing personally? whether its because of the design itself, a facet of the character you enjoyed, or something else?

thank you!! <3<3<3 it was an incredible privilege, and I got to work with so many crazy skilled artists <3

Eddie/Volt are my top faves, because their design was really clunky and all over the place in the beginning because there wasn't a clear story or character role yet when I started doing the concept work. When Amanda finally showed me the first draft of the script, I read it, and immediately went "i know exactly how these guys need to look because this is 100% My Trope" LOOOL it was a design born from pure thirst, what can i say. I also love luke; he didn't have a story when i first started working on him, but the name was already picked out so I absolutely drew from the duke nukem reference and he was just nuts from the start LOL

Dorian is one of the first dateables I drew concept art for waaaay back in 2018-2019 when I first worked with ray and robbie on the proof of concept, so i've got a big ol' soft spot for him <3

Baymax! My babyboy, the light of my life, my reason to live, my squishy furry source of all things pure and joyful.

It feels surreal to see this out there, in the wild, and being played by real people. It feels like a dream--a crazy fever dream that's been going on for years and now Date Everything! is officially live on all platforms, and I am so immensely proud of everyone involved in this game ♥

This is Sassy Chap Games' first project, and I could not be more humbled to be a part of it. Everyone poured their soul, their excitement and humour into this. This isn't just a dating sim; it's one giant love letter to creative passion, to artistry, and to self-expression. It's a celebration of artists and creators of all forms and backgrounds, from programmers to writers, from artists to cosplayers, and from musicians to voice actors.

Long thank you ahead, as well as character spoilers if you wanna go in blind!!

I wanna give a huge, immense thank you to my art team: Tay, Pejnt, Renoni, Elle, Debz, Palea, Cael, Helly, Nick, Mel and Shenae. This game is jam packed with so much beautiful hand-drawn artwork, and I'm so lucky to have worked with such incredible artists to complete all those gigantic spreadsheets of assets TuT Thank you all for all your hard work. I love that I can recognise who did what based on the styles, and I’m so happy that people will see your uniqueness in this project.

A big shout out to Jay, our 3D modeler, and Clara, our animator, who are so incredibly skilled at what they do. The house is beautiful, as is the world outside, and you both did such a wonderful job giving all the Dateables a roof to live in, and a cosy world for the players to roam. For a game that takes place in one location, you’ve made it feel like a whole world.

The characters would not be complete without the creative minds of the writing/narrative team. William Hinz, Jay Choi, Souha, Logan Burdick, Brendan Blaber, Dom Dinh, Devin Connelly, TJ Young, Nick Thurston, Sam Ortiz, Julia McIlvaine, Ray, Robbie, Amanda--oh god i know im missing a handful Q_Q but damn, the amount of work and creativity needed to create so many branching stories, endings, and weaving together relationships amongst various characters--that's such a feat that I was lucky enough to see develop behind the scenes <3 I can't wait to play the game myself to find out how the stories have changed and ended up--it's a very funny feeling to be involved in the game so intimately and yet i still only know about 10% of the characters’ full stories, and I know i'm going to be surprised when I play through this myself XD.

Thank you to our composer and maestro, Garrett Williamson, and his team of music masters--the OST is absolutely incredible, so unique, and mind-blowing to know that all our dateables have their own theme that's beautifully reflective of their personalities, theme and stories even without needing to see them. You are insane at what you do, and i know you and i can volley compliments back and forth until the end of time, but I get the last word on this blog: you are an absolute beast at music, sir, and I can't wait for the rest of the world to know your big music brain.

All of these amazing assets would just remain a big ol’ pile of assets if it weren’t for the incredible dedication, time, and energy of our programming team headed by Thiago Moreira. You and Sam Reinhart are so crucial to making this happen, for piecing things together, for making things move and animate, and for fixing all the bugs as they arise. Oh my god, all the bugs. You guys are some of the chillest people I’ve ever met, and y’all been such a rock for everyone when things go awry.

A shout out to Greg Batha and “MsMinotaur” Adriel. This game literally would not have gotten off the ground without you two at the very beginning. Y’all the OG team, and I am so happy I got to meet the two people who built the launch pad that started this whole thing.

To the producers, and the brains behind this crazy game--Ray Chase, Robbie Daymond, Max Mittelman, and Amanda Hufford--You guys are absolute legends. Thank you for so many years of pitching the game, and keeping the idea alive through the blurry years that was 2019-2022. It's crazy to think how I first knew y'all as game characters from FFXV almost ten years ago, and now you guys are game producers. Amanda, you are such a fun energy to be around, and it was so incredible working with you on your characters (Thank you again for the big brain behind Eddie and Volt--I will never get over them.) Thank you for your voices, your writing, the long hours, the organisation, and for keeping everything so exciting! Y'all form the absolute bedrock of this thing. Thank you for believing in the team, and weathering through the obstacles to keep this party going. this would not have come to fruition without you guys at our backs.

I love all of you, and i know this is just the beginning ❤️

Hi, I think I saw your name in the credits as lead for the art team for the game Date Everything? If that's true, I just wanna say how much I absolutely LOVE your designs in there! I haven't had this much fun in a demo in a while but I've been laughing my ass off while playing it and 50% of that is due to gushing over how well all the designs for the characters are and how the details play into their concept. Chef's kiss to your creative mind, 10/10.

I am ♥ I designed the Dateables, and had tremendous help from Taybuni (twitter), @pejntedboks and @ellegee2018 to complete all the poses for the characters 😳 I'm so happy you've been having fun! TODAY IS FINALLY LAUNCH AND I'M SO HAPPY WE GOT TO THIS POINT, FAM!!!

Hello I'm alive; Just a touch of Lite Depression due to some familial reasons, but majorly due to the current political climate and, idk, psychological/economic warfare from the daily threat of annexation by a neighbouring country combined with seeing how many people don't seem to be taking that threat seriously so yeah. 'sfun seeing fucking merch/jokes about annexation. real fun.

i've just been a bit too sad to interact with people these past couple months, but i'm trying to crawl my way back into being social again because it'll be better for me in the long run _(:Ⅰ」∠)_

in other news i've been writing a nick/ellis fic this past month to keep myself sane so i might post that up when its done.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

The trans community has always existed, and you are loved. No matter what circle-jerk of two-bit con artists with the integrity of wet tissues say, you have been and always are important. Life and society has thrived because of the perseverance and brilliance of the trans and nonbinary community, whether we knew it or not. Remember that you aren't alone, and you have so, so many people across nations who are standing with you.

Do the best you can to continue pursuing your goals and live with pride as the best version of yourself you can be. Outlive your oppressors; the vacuum of a hollow, hateful life will consume the bigots who try to block your way of growth and happiness, because they'll do nothing but shrink and wallow in their ignorance while you're making as many footprints as you can.

You are valid, and you will thrive, and you will continue to live more fulfilled lives because you stay true to who you are.

one question, do u have any twitter or another social media? 👀

tumblr's my only active socmed atm. I'm sitting on my handle on insta and bluesky that i don't use much if at all, and i've locked and stopped posting on twitter since trump's musksac fubar'd everything.

[nijuukoo]

Your art was one of the main reasons i joined tumblr back in 2014. The way you draw has such a magical pull to it, whenever I see it, I get sucked in.

I will forever be a fan of your work, no matter where or when.

Q_Q♥

btw i love your handle and your pfp. Excellent choices were made.
