The art style here reminds me of some Car Seat Headrest art which seeing the themes of and music mentioned in the story might not be a complete coincidence.
If they're going to cut back to novel mode after an adventure mode interlude (for voice acting, etc.), but don't want to clear, maybe they could insert some big fancy horizontal-line sigil (I don't know the typesetting term, a fancy ornate horizontal divider) where they cut? It makes a clear place for the eye to land before you start reading again, and gives confidence you're not missing something.
People are being really experimentative with this jam. This being mostly voiced and using Novel mode for a majority of its text are two stand outs for this one's style. Its art is sprite art is simple, charming and effective with the few poses and change to expressions. Personally think it over narrates some scenes, but otherwise is a fine short story.
Sigh... So idk if anybody knows this, but one of the people who worked on this did prey on a 17 year old when she was 20. This was admitted to publicly (which was the right thing for her to do). The fallout was handled extremely poorly by folks who worked on this game and tons of excuses were made for some really awful behavior. I'm not saying this to cancel this person or whatever. I have personally seen this group hurt people I cared about in my personal life. Idk... I just am disappointed how little people actually ended up caring about their hurtful actions. It also doesn't help that the individual who did prey on that teenager is a self-admitted lolicon. Their band now performs live on stages and still gets platformed while anyone who speaks up gets shunned and blacklisted...
I'm not upset that keith is covering this, but I don't want this to go unsaid when their work is brought up. I know lots of people who were hurt and it sucks the amount of people in the furry music world that just do not care at all. Popularity wins there rather than protecting the community around them. It's frankly pretty disgusting.
@Sebastian-uwu It's very well known in the underground furry music space, but it's been overlooked by most people who run communities. It sucks a lot that so many people have pushed safety concerns of people attending these spaces. Like even if they were to be better people by now, you're still left with the fact that those speaking up as survivors get ignored and blacklisted. As well as, Cecily engaging in sexualized art of underage characters. In the furry music underground, people prioritize the comfort of people who we know have hurt others than the safety of the entire broad community. It sucks.
@@0tterhead unfortunately this is very common in especially music community spaces. There's a lot of gross stuff that gets swept under the rug. There was a petition going around trying to get the band off anthrocon's main stage. Even with the context that the offending person admitted to doing what she did (getting in a relationship with an underage fan), the show went as planned. It sucks and I'm exhausted as a fellow musician who feels unsafe.
I hope the guitar choice wasn't supposed to be a very specific dig at trans women who play guitar, or maybe it's just a coincidence that I also had an Epiphone SG Special as my first guitar
I wasn't expecting the patricia taxxon name drop at the end there

Lila is a bear
Sigh...
