Congrats to @blanksword.bsky.social for passing the funding goal. I made a 3D Blank to celebrate

3D Blank from the game Blanksword, standing on a disk in a void. He is holding a sword. There's a tired, concerned look on his face.

We're besides ourselves with joy, but - the work isn't over yet. With 12 days to go, we're now aiming for our first stretch goal, which will see OFF creator Mortis Ghost join us to work on the project!

Our deepest gratitude goes to you all for your support, your encouragements and your trust 💜

i am nearing the end of BLANKSWORDs demo (i think) and you have got to play this thing. it is a tour de force. crazy sick visuals, bangin tunes, buckwild premise. it is nearly 3 in the morning and my body would not let me sleep until i told people to back/play this thing. holy hell. so so good

honestly with the way the game's humor is trending i kind of assume this is just going to be a real poster

the meme depicting tiktaalik moving from "their filthy water" to "our blessed ground" and being met with spears, captioned "STOP THEM! 'You missed your chance, pal!' If you see a Horrid Beast evolving, PUSH IT BACK IN," with the Traitorpod drawn over it looking smug.

If you follow me, you know I don't tend to repost/quote at all and focus solely on posting art... however, please consider backing this RPG I made a bunch of artwork for! Co-directed by a good friend, who has a great sense for narrative.

BLANKSWORD fact #2
For you roguelikers out there, the Blanksword demo has a *ton* of replayability and it's only a demo! Just look at all these movesets that you can mix and match, there's persistent upgrades as well!

BLANKSWORD fact #1
Don't know how a skill works? Just hover over the keyword! Of course tooltips aren't anything new in games, but did you know you can also use it in the middle of a battle? AND it works great on controller as well! Just move the right stick, no clunky menus needed!
