Hey guys!!

Few may know that I've been working on a project for a little bit called "Drawmegle". It is exactly what it sounds like. Omegle for artists, pretty much!

If you are unfamiliar, Omegle (now defunct), was a website where users could connect randomly to other users and chat. It was full of issues, mainly due to the fact that it was webcam-based and there are plenty of horrible people out there. Despite that, I decided to revive it with a new, hopefully more positive energy. There are no more webcams. Only art!

Anywho, today I am giving it a soft launch. I've been toiling at it for the last couple weeks and it's finally ready to see the light of day. As soon as I decided it was ready to go, I was hit with a lot of nerves for some reason. I was really excited about it prior. I think I'm scared of what releasing a web-based interaction platform entails, but alas, it's up.

Since it's brand new and I don't have a bunch of reach, I don't expect it'll be bustling, but maybe a fun little sketchpad, or maybe an interaction or two.

Alright, no more stalling. Here it is: https://drawmegle.com/

Please have fun with it, and make use of the feedback feature! It'll help me improve it as I continue to develop it. Feel free to join the discord server too! Users can share their artwork there, as well as organize things or do whatever idk.

Enjoy!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!

That was a clickbait title to try and get you to read my November newsletter. If you don't know who I am or what I do, you can probably skip it! However, if you are following me, it may be interesting for you!

Anywho, you can check it out here if you are curious about new music resources or about what I've been up to for the last month!

I LOVE YOU CYA!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! This is for anyone who's following or anyone who is interested in free music resources!! (EX. Game Devs, content creators, etc.)

Short note to my NG followers: If you would like to keep up with me & see what I'm working on, consider checking out my Newsletter! I write them every month! (I'm gonna start announcing each new edition here monthly)

Since I began my Ko-Fi page, I've been stocking it up with tons of free music every month! The main thing I wanted to talk about though is my monthly newsletters, which I started writing in May 2023. I've been doing my best to make them as fun and readable as possible, as well as intuitive and informative for readers wanting to keep up with me and the resources I create for you!

Here's my issue!! I want to continue making my page + newsletters better. My ultimate goal with Ko-Fi is to provide a valuable resource for everyone, as well as provide as many extra goodies for my supporters as possible and make them feel like their subscriptions are worth every penny. I don't get a whole lot of feedback on my page though. Not many folks read my newsletters (which is pretty much the only place I ask for feedback). So I wanted to turn to Newgrounds for some extra opinions!!

SO! To anyone who reads this, I would like to ask you your thoughts! If you are following my Ko-Fi, what would you like to see more of? If you aren't following, what might make you want to follow me? Does being supporter seem worth it? What do I do well? What I do poorly? You can answer any of those questions or comment about anything else too.

It would mean a lot to me to hear from you! Ultimately, I'm doing all this to ensure what I provide is of the utmost bestest amazingest quality, and to make a hell of a good free music resource for everyone who needs it!

I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU!!!!

Hey guys how are you?

I recently discovered it's really fun to read through the news feed. All sorts of nonsense, but also discovering a lot of cool artists and users!

HELP IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

ATTENTION:

DIGITAL FUSION IS REAL, AND IT IS HAPPENING.

For the last year or so, I've been curating a SoundCloud playlist of my favorite Digital Fusion tracks from a variety of incredibly talented, awesome creators. What I've learned about Digital Fusion since I started is that it's a genre that a lot of people know about, but don't know the name of. I was in that boat before I learned the name of the genre. I just thought it was 'video game music' or 'vgm jazz' or something like that. Searching for those things rarely got me exactly what I wanted to hear though, and for a long time, I just wrote it off as niche and that I could only find it if I stumbled upon it.

That is not the case now though! Digital Fusion is real, it is happening, and it must be known! Songs that sound like video games, employ retro synths and soundfonts, and blend them with modern production techniques and/or recorded instruments to create a sound that feel so video game, so vintage, yet so modern. Not to mention the amount of musicians with fierce skills and knowledge of music theory and jazz technique in the space creating music that almost condescends you with its expertise and flashy complexities, even if in a simple package. Digital Fusion is what happens when people who grew up playing tons of video games get a music making software. For those who grew up playing tons of video games and have no music software, the music fills that void in the heart that they never knew existed.

SO, EVERYONE!! Very important!!!! You must know Digital Fusion music. The genre is still a wee baby and knowing about it now will make you COOL when it inevitably blows up. It will blow up. It is real and it's happening. Digital Fusion makes sense.

Read up with your ears. Fill your head with the stylings of today's trailblazers. Check out this playlist and ENJOY IT. Share the music with the folks in your life who you know will appreciate it. If someone you know has a Discord account, they will like Digital Fusion. If someone you know has ever played Animal Crossing, they will like Digital Fusion. If someone you know is under the age of 30 and owned a game console, they will like Digital Fusion.

Preaching over. Enjoy!

Hey guys I'm making some more cool music for you

HEY YOU BETTER WATCH OUT BUDDY

Hey guys! I usually write a big fat novel on here about what I've been up to, but I'm DONE. I QUIT. I quit with the big newsletter-style posts on here anyways. Moved 'em to my Ko-fi and I'm gonna be posting them every month there! For any folks here who read those, I'll still be announcing them here and making smaller posts from time to time.

I'm turning 'em up to 11 though with a bunch of art and fancy stuff, so if you're interested in hearing about royalty-free music and free stuff to look forward to in the future, please take a look!
