edit: ive always thought of myself as a hard worker so it was really hard to admit i just cant handle as much as i used to. i hope next year i can figure out some better work life balance where im still able to create art and survive 💕

We are in dire financial straits, and until we're not, I will be taking on any and all commissions- I dare you! Don't be shy. Send all requests and inquiries to my email at:

corpse at cicadamarionette dot com

More details below:

Let me describe to you this wonderful offer.

CHARACTER MODELS - $80

I will fashion a "3D Model" of a character or object from your description. I can send renders if you'd like, and/or send the model files themselves. If you want a horrible animation of the character waving their arms, or crying, or digging a grave, just tack on 30 dollars and I will add one to the model and send a complimentary GIF of the model doing this animation as well - if you want to describe a simple 3D environment to be included as a backdrop, add $50. If none of these quite addresses what you want feel free to email me with more questions.

----

YOUR VERY OWN CRYPT - $150

Send me a photo or description of a room or other small environ, and I will make a 3D Model of that environment in the style of the original Crypt Worlds. I will then add it to the original game, as a stand-alone scene, and send you a playable build where you can walk around and piss on things.

I will include 1 NPC from the original Crypt Worlds in the environment, with custom dialogue of your choosing- and if you want I can also have them say something when pissed on. If there's any other stuff from the original game you want added into the scene I'm open to suggestions. If you want me to change the player's portrait (in the bottom left of the game's UI) to a custom photo I can work it into the UI for an additional 10 dollars.

You will have infinite piss in this custom build so the fun will never end.

hey. i (disabled trans femme person) need urgent help escaping abuse.

i come to you with some very bad news and a long story, i guess. it's a story of financial abuse and years and year of my life in vain.

snippets of this were things ive talked about before, but theyve been intensifying recently to a point that i can't ignore them anymore. they dont blend into the background anymore. figurateively, im being poisoned, and im feeling it.

look below the cut for further details of what's happening. i wish i could've been more concise, but the ongoing situation is convoluted and its hard to wrap my whole head around it sometimes.

ive had my patreon for around 7 years, now. since the beginning, i wanted it to become sizable and to earn me a living eventually; it never did.

ive also released several games, which, again, didnt earn me a living. ive done a lot of work on projects under nda, which didnt earn me a living either.

none of it came together.

as a result of this, i have spent that past while being strongly supported through donations from people like you on tumblr and discord (thank you ;;) and... from my parents.

the latter is the crux of this. their control over my finances lends them a very strong influence over what i am allowed to do and what im not allowed to do in my life.

as a result of this, they have essentially kept me from pursuing the jobs and the life ive wanted to pursue for the past 7 years. anything i was able to come up with wasn't good enough. game development is an "expensive hobby". "an outcrys" nomination was a "costly adventure that didn't retain value". my art is "sad and depressing, no one wants to see it". video games are "not real, you need a second foot to stand on".

so ive been toiling away, trying to please their whims of what im "supposed to be doing", using precious time i couldve used entering the industry i actually wanted to enter learning skills i didnt want for jobs i didnt want, applying and being denied. for a brief while, between 2020 and 2023, i was allowed to do my game development thing, finally, because of covid and such. that grace period is now over.

they have also been strongly controlling my bodily autonomy as it relates to choices im allowed to make without having to suffer emotional damage from them, which has been paranoia-inducing to say the least.

at this moment, i am at a crossroads.

either, i take on a job that pays whatever my parents think is enough for a living and is the "right kind of job" (with my lack of education outside of artistic fields: close to impossible); or i find a well-paying high-profile job in the video game industry (with my qualifications and the state of the industry: close to impossible); or i enter my country's disability pay system.

i have a disability diagnosis, so this would be within reach. it would also be a good deal more money than my parents are keeping me drowning with. to succeed with my application however, id need to:

close my patreon

stop developing games (not enough resources, mental or financial)

be at the whims of this country's political situation and how it relates to welfare, which is in sharp decline

im asking you all for help choosing none of the above.

i want to be free from their financial influence. i want to be able to instantly send them back their "alimony" and know that they can no longer direct my life according to any whim they may have. i want more time to be allowed to stand on my own two feet without being emotionally hurt and financially controlled - because it is nothing short of killing me.

i've started goal on ko-fi - 6000 $. i need a buffer like that in order to be able to have a bargaining chip in this arrangement, at least for half a year.

i need that money to be able to refuse the money my parents only use to have power over me and my life choices, to be able to consistently emotionally harm me and my prospects to become independent in the way i want to.

thank you for reading. even just talking about this makes me feel a little better. please help, and donate if you are able.
