Wishing all my trans, gnc, and questioning homies a very happy and safe Trans Day of Visibility. Whether you're out or not, know that you're loved, and I hope you can spend time today with folks who see you 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

And now, one more painting coming with tomorrow's Ashen update. This time, it's a study of Caspar David Friedrich's "Winterlandschaft mitt Kirche." Excited to finally release 1.11 just in time for Minecraft 1.21.5! 🍃🌼 #pixelart #art #gamedev #mcdev #minecraft

A pixelated winter scene framed on a grey background.

The bottom half of the painting features snow, boulders, and three unevenly spaced conifer trees. The right two trees are grouped together behind the largest boulder, against which a figure in blue reclines, having dropped their crutches in the snow in the foreground. The figure prays before a large red crucifix planted in the snow. In the background, disappearing into fog, is the silhouette of a cathedral. Sunlight paints the fog shades of pink.

Been too busy with thesis work to post here in a while, but I'm still kickin! Four new paintings coming with Ashen v1.11, which'll release with MC 1.21.5 🍂 #pixelart #art #gamedev #mcdev #minecraft

Four pixel-art paintings; three depict stylized landscapes with mountains, and the third depicts a small vignette of peonies. Colors range from blues and greens to pinks.

We're aware of an issue with ad revenue being unexpectedly low for the past few weeks, affecting creator income. We've been working on trying to figure out the cause with our ad partners. Due to our investigation and diagnosis, revenue analytics for this week will be unreliable.

Very excited to say Ashen passed two million downloads on Curseforge today. Started this pack with exactly zero pixel art experience in 2019 and never imagined I'd even release it. Very weird feeling to now be staring this number down 😶‍🌫️

Umpteenth reminder to vote today if you're eligible/haven't already. Read about downballot races and measures in your municipality. Voting is more than just picking a president to preserve a semblance of democracy. Also you get a cool sticker. And today I learned MA's stickers are bigger than CT's

Since several people have asked before, I've finally decided to start opening up Ashen to community-driven Mod Support Add-Ons. Gonna be a slow roll-out, but this should eventually mean Ashen's even more mod-compatible. With that in mind, I wrote up a style guide! docs.google.com/document/d/1...
