VIDEO: Twitch Anniversary Stream!
Apparently I’ve been a Twitch affiliate for an entire year now. Huh. Interesting. Anyway, this past weekend I did an anniversary stream for fun playing Colossal Cave 3D on my Switch. I played the original text version back when I was a kid, and it’s fun to see the game reinterpreted visually!
If you subscribe to my Youtube and/or Twitch channels it will really help me out! I’m aiming for 500 Youtube subs so I can monetize my channel to help keep making new content, and any live views or subscriptions on Twitch also help in the same way! I may have been a Twitch affiliate for a year, but I have yet to see a payout. Grumble grumble. 😑
Anyway, I hope you’ll check out some of my video content, or hang out during one of my streams live in the future!

VIDEO: Comic-editing tip – make a checklist spreadsheet!
I’m still working away on getting my webcomic put together for a print edition of volume one! Collecting everything together into a graphic novel is a lot of work, and can be complicated if you don’t stay organized. So that’s why I’m sharing one of my favorite organizational tips here – making a checklist spreadsheet! I’ve made a file with columns for each major fix I know needs doing from page to page, along with one for specific notes that don’t need to be changed on every page. I used conditional highlighting in Numbers on my Mac to make it easier to visualize how much work I’ve done versus what I have left, and even though I don’t use Excel or Google Sheets, I’m pretty sure you can do that with those apps, too.
Youtube has changed their guidelines for monetization, and it would help us immensely if you subscribed to our channel for free! We just need to reach 500 subscribers to be eligible, which would help provide monetary support for the continued creation of Follower and our other comics!
You can also help support the creation of our comics by joining the Chio Club, where you’ll also get rewards like previews of new pages and other behind the scenes sneak peeks!
VIDEO: Editing Follower book pages
This is a short one, but I think I’m going to start making little art vlogs while I work on things sometimes. I’ve gotten back to work on updating and editing Follower pages for the eventual Volume One we have planned. This past year has been super difficult for me with my ongoing health issues, but I really want to make this book, so I’m doing what I can to get there!
You can also help support me while I’m working on the book by joining the Chio Club via Patreon or Ko-Fi. There are even special tiers where you can be in the comic by creating a custom Chio character or receive a copy of the book on completion!
VIDEO: if i were a fish
I’ve been in love with  @hicorook ’s song “if I were a fish” since I heard it a few weeks ago and I’ve been chipping away at this since then. Geedey and Dia are definitely each other’s fish, so it just seemed fitting to animate them this way. But I’m not going any further than this, it took forever to make this much. 😆
Also, please go listen to “if I were a fish” and sub to corook’s channel!! It’s such a heartwarming song and the rest of their music is awesome too!
You can also subscribe to my channel where I put up stuff like this on a regular basis. I’m trying to work my way up to 1000 subscribers, and I’m about to hit 150!

Bug is Broke Sale!
Ha, you read that right! 🥲
Things have been a bit rough with my hands being unreliable for the past few months, and we’ve got bills and a cat vet appointment coming up, so it seems like as good a time as any to put our comics on sale for the next week! You get cheap comics, we get to survive a little bit, so everyone wins!
All of our comics (and CSP brush pack!) downloads are automatically 50% off in our itch.io shop. You can also download everything as a giant bundle for just $15! That’s a lot of comics!
You can also use the code ‘BUGISBROKE‘ in our Ko-Fi shop and get 50% off everything there, too!
Thanks so much for reading this post, and share with your friends if you think they’d be into our work!
