Are you taking commissions?

Hi! Unfortunately my line is so long rn so while I’d love to I’d feel really bad for making you wait so long lol. I’ll post when my line gets shorter

[poke-chann-draws]

Sometime im gonna move my art account over to @cherilura , because I like that username better, but I’m gonna keep posting here for a while as well. I plan on making it gradual so even people who see my stuff once a blue moon will know

I couldn’t get this out of my head

[poke-chann-draws]

Hey check it out! I’m doing something! In a game!👆

Merry Christmas & Year recap

Merry Christmas!

And soon a year comes to an end...

We've been working on Magical Harvest for a year now, and we're further along than expected and not as far along as originally planned (which is good though - more on that later). Personal Besides working on the game, a bit has happened in our lives as well.A little review about this year, what happened in our personal life:

- Since spring, Marie has been working on Magical Harvest only in her spare time because of her main job (we have to live from something). And for that she helps me immensely!

- we attended the next Swedish course (12h per week) from February to June and I attended again from September to November, but unfortunately it took too much time for too little progress (the pace of the lessons was too slow)

- in summer we got engaged and will get married next July <3

- we had planned trips to Germany to visit our families, but had to postpone because of Corona

- Vet! Thanks to our cat, we have been there often because he has a food allergy. That cost time and nerves.... Magical Harvest In general we have worked a lot on Magical Harvest (I partly 70-80 hours per week), but of course many things came in between. Nevertheless we are satisfied with our progress.

The demo, which we focused on between June and November, has brought us a good deal further, but also cost us a lot of time. Based on the knowledge gained, we have been able to develop, among other things, a style for the game world that can run without problems on SteamDeck, for example, and we are even more confident than before that the direction of Magical Harvest is the right one.

Programming-wise, I have implemented all the core features of the farm, the animals are currently still being worked on, but will be finished this year (programming-wise), except for the mini-game to crossbreed animals.

Also, the logic for translations is already implemented and some other points that were implemented thanks to the demo and otherwise would have found their way into the game later (which would have been a lot more work).  New character-artist: Lura

With such a big project you are not always confident, especially with such a small team. I, in particular, often vacillate between "there's still way too much to be done" and "oh, soon all the features will be programmed - then the progress will be more visible!".

And then there are moments like in November, when we were contacted by our new character illustrator Lura, asking her to draw our Bachelors/ettes. Because of her motivational skills and abilities we accepted her into our team (and especially because of her skills of course!) and fitting for Christmas she finished with the bachelorette "Thalana", a Nereid (sea woman) who is afraid of water .

Lura adapted her style according to our wishes and showed real talent! We are very happy to welcome her to our little team!

Marie is currently working on the design of the city, which is divided into 3 different districts with their own architectural style. This is also motivating as the world is slowly being given more and more life. Each district belongs to one of the game's factions. The player can also apply the building style to his own house later on.

Financial Unfortunately, we still have basically no financial support, but we will try to launch a Kickstarter campaign in 2023. Possibly not until 2024. Something like this takes a lot of time of preparation and also nerves and until then we definitely need to be able to show something more. Indie-game-marketing is of course also a difficult point. As long as too few people know about our project, such a campaign doesn't make sense either and to be honest, we are not the most talented social media users. But we will try to make this a bit more active and interesting in 2023 (including the things we show).

If you want to support us right now, check out Patreon: >>>.

This will allow us to invest more in the development of the game (art, soundtrack, [...]).

We would also like to thank all the Patrons who already support or have supported us, even though the world market prices are currently rising (which of course also affects us...). Outlook We definitely want to be "feature-complete" by mid 2023! At least with the base logic of the game. That means that "only" the base logic of the NPCs has to be programmed, the character-creator and the minigames. Of course, that's not all, but those are the bigger parts.

Besides programming, I'm also creating assets for the game at the same time, so I'm not spending 100% of my time on programming. In the end, we try to get as far as possible!

Thank you for your confidence, support and interest! We hope you have a good time and enjoy the holidays!

Let's hope that the world will be a little better in 2023 and that everyone will be healthy and happy through the year!

Best regards,

Your Magical Harvest Team

Isa & Marie

Lastly, here's a little video showing the development of Magical Harvest over the year.

She’s here

[poke-chann-draws]

Pin Kickstarter update! We are SOO close to being funded (2 pins away) with over half the time left! Very exciting! Plenty of more pins left to buy if you’re interested, about 60 or so before the limit is reached.

Giveaway is still going on and still mostly empty but I’ve kind of given up on it lol. Maybe next time I make merch I’ll make it tagging one person instead of 2

[poke-chann-draws]

Also tumblr often censors things from tags that include links and I think mine was as well. So look, here’s my ventuswill pin!

She’s up to buy on k*ckstart*r! Which you can find on my earlier post, along with a way to enter a give away for one of them for free! It will only happen if we sell 27 or more! Only 80 are available to purchase!

Hey guys! I just launched my venti pin Kickstarter! A few notes:

•I am selling ONLY up to 80. There is a chance of me selling them again later if this works out but there’s only really about a 50/50 chance. If you want them, you should get them now.

•Shipping is only for US, sorry. I’m still a noob at shipping things, and I don’t want to go over my head. Proxies are 100% allowed, if you’ve got someone in the US who can then ship it to you

•Risk disclosures! This is my first project but I’ve been putting a lot of thought into it to minimize risk. I’ve priced it at a point where I know I’ll have enough for manufacturing, shipping, and Kickstarter fees, and I have my own money in savings to cover for any extra emergencies I don’t see. My biggest worry is shipping, as I don’t have much experience with it, but that’s the sort of thing where the real risk is just me taking longer than expected to package and send off all the pins. You would get them, just late in worse case scenario. I also don’t have an estimate on when they would be shipped for that reason, because I’m not confident enough in my estimating ability. I’ll be making a discord server just in case if the project succeeds, that way I could give updates directly and easily, along with answering questions easily. Buyers not getting their pin is a risk I’m not comfortable taking, but a potentially longer shipping process is. I understand if that’s a deal breaker for some, though.

•If the Kickstarter fails or gets taken down for any reason I’ll look into making a preorder site instead but I would have to research that more and it would likely cost more per pin.

•I’m aware that pins, when ordered, could have defects. I’ve taken that into account and will be ordering more than however many are sold, that way I can guarantee each person get a high quality pin.

•The Kickstarter will be up for only 10 days, as I don’t want it to go on too long.

•If you have any questions, ask me! I’d be glad to answer them

Last thing: Can’t afford it? Want a free pin? ✨

Reblog this post or my Twitter post (https://twitter.com/CheriluraA/status/1556737692817301506?s=20&t=Xi_5vuk5_vCAjiiW5dQ0qw) and tag two people you think would be interested! I will be randomly selecting at least one of these to send a left over pin to!

Thanks to everyone who’s interested!

Hello! I recently came across your dnd emoji post and would love to commission you! I wanted to check first to see if you still had slots available. :)

I don’t run my commissions on a slot basis, but rather one waitlist I go through one by one! My waitlist is rather long right now, so it could take a while, but it’s 0 commitment and I’m just getting over an illness and have no summer classes so I *should* be starting to get through them much faster now. DM me if ur interested in going on the list and we can swap discords

[poke-chann-draws]

Hey, can y’all rb this if it’s okay to send you messages asking about your ocs, cause on god I wanna interact with y’all but I am terrified of being annoying lol

[poke-chann-draws]

Sold! Thanks to everyone who reblogged 🥰

Hey so, I’ve never sold adoptables before but remember this design I made like a year(?) ago

OG Post here:

Yeah I scrapped her almost immediately but I liked her design a lot (it was even my PayPal image because it was the closest art I had at the time, I’m changing that rn), and I want her to have some love so I’m gonna try to sell her design.

What’s a good price? $7? $10? I won’t make it any more than that tbh, she deserves a home. Let me know if anyone’s interested.

Does anyone else relate to that feeling of being an internet artist who doesn’t really care about the internet’s obsession of the week but you see all these other artists making fanart that reaches audiences tens of times their follower count and like you COULD also make fanart of it but you don’t want to be the type of person that makes art only for likes so u just kinda r there like

wishing it was something you liked
