Fanart Friday! This time of Alma, our resident fluffy dragon. :)
You'll ride (and pet) Alma multiple times in Mercenary Leto! Be sure and get her carrots, too!
Artist unknown.
A drawing of Xenon Zyn and rad's fursonas looking shocked and excited, and a new dragon-bear mascot making an announcement with a new logo in the middle. There is text that reads: We're realchemizing! Our new studio name is Draconic Alchemy!
Xenon and rad excitedly exclaim in a big speech bubble with text that reads: We wanted to be upfront with everyone who has stuck with us for so long! If you’re interested in coming on this journey with us, please follow us on our new accounts! We’ll be reposting any new Draconic Alchemy stuff on our Fresh Hot Flavors accounts for a good while, just so we can make sure everyone knows where we’re going next. So... what IS Draconic Alchemy? Is it alchemy by dragons? Alchemy for dragons? Alchemy to become dragons?! We’re hoping you’ll come with us and find out!
rad and Xenon look into a cauldron on the bottom left of the page. Text in the middle reads: What happened to Fresh Hot Flavors? It’s still here, in spirit! Draconic Alchemy is the new artistic fusion of Xenon Zyn and rad, two of FHF’s founding members. We appreciate all the love and support you’ve shown us over the years, and we know y’all have especially loved our skirts. But unfortunately, skirt manufacturing is no longer financially feasible for us right now. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll never make any skirts again, but if there’s a design you’ve had your eye on, you should grab it now while you can, because we’re not sure when we’ll be able to make new designs, or even restock. Additionally, Fresh Hot Flavors was a brand, and we started to feel like every new thing we made had to fit that brand.
rad and Xenon look excitedly into a cauldron in the bottom left corner. There is text in the middle that reads: Xenon and rad have been up to a lot of cool stuff in the past few years. Recently, rad has been really into hand embroidery, doodling with acrylic paint pens, and sewing up funny little guys. Xenon has been screenprinting, making zines, and working on Creature Creation Station, a video game!!! (It’s really cool and cute and you should definitely check it out!!) Draconic Alchemy is our new name, and our new adventure! We wanted something that could be ever-changing, ever-evolving, just like us, and that would embody the concept of making art to have fun, and following wherever our art-loving hearts decide to take us. If we’re not having fun with something anymore, we’ll take the parts we do still like, and alchemize them into something new.
Fresh Hot Flavors is REALCHEMIZING into...Draconic Alchemy! If you'd like to join us on this journey to make art fun for us again, please follow us at our new account: Draconic Alchemy
I don't need generative AI to make placeholder stuff because "angry Gandalf with a shotgun" has been my placeholder art asset since 2012.
Just pushed a patch to address a bug for the final boss!

Another great review! (PS, I'm a Ruby, through and through.)
If you haven't heard, my game Mercenary Leto is OUT! I worked on it for over 13 years and I'm so happy it's finally out. :)

Yeah I'm not into Gen AI for games; I either did it myself or paid artists for my bigger stuff, and I'm proud of that. :)
Besides, this is my debug sprite. Why would I want to replace it? He's got a job, y'all
(PS his name is killbox)
Sadly, no yuri in this one! Thank you for asking; and good on you for making that list. if you haven't played Signalis, highly recommend it, instead. :)
After 13 years, I finally released my game!
It's a cozy narrative game with light platforming, with one cute dragon! Works great on a Steamdeck; take it on the go or play on PC!
So happy. I released. Onto the next project. :'''')

After 13 years of work and never giving up, I release my dream game tomorrow. :)
Completely self published, as indie as it gets. Every day I put in 20 minutes, either on code, the art, or collaborating with others.
I hope you enjoy it!

I'm new to game making, so an honest answer -
I changed game engines 3 times. ☠️
Then many years of "engine dev" to get Unity working the way I wanted. ☠️ ☠️
THEN, really starting in 2018 or so, I was able to content build! Then I was off to the races. :)
Merry Christmas, y'all. :)
Excited to release this in Q1 of next year. After 13+ years of dev, it's time to let my little baby out into the world. :)
