Goodbye GitHub! Hello Codeberg!
The rot has accelerated to GitHub to the point where I am no longer interested in having this project hosted on there. So now it's on Codeberg! I updated all links I could find to point to the new place so you should be able to find it easily. Hopefully I won't have to do a migration like this for a moment, what a pain hahah. https://codeberg.org/firecakes/cakelandish

ArtFight 2025
I had a really good year! I think my art has significantly improved since last year. "Hot and Cold Noodles", for Manikobunneh "Sniper Splat", for Derpy_Squid_Inc "Ace and The Gardener Attack!", for Floosh "Nya Nya Dance", for Desitos "Study Session", for KazzMcSass "Cerulean Goes to a Concert", for AquaticFuz "Bass Playing", for NoozeCat "Overheating", for VAdaPEGA "Relaxing Weasel", for…
The Cakelandish Forum Update
I've been busy, as usual! In the middle of ArtFight I got inspired to learn how to set up and administrate a forum for the Cakelandish project! I think it would be nice to set up a centralized hub of information about Cakelandish and indie website construction in general. It's very much out of my comfort zone as it requires a new set of skills to flex but I think it is ultimately important to the…
0.14.0 Milestone
This server received yet another major update! Just in time before ArtFight begins tomorrow. My plan is to update the wiki with all the new features and to make a fun video about what it's like to use the site. I continuously surprise myself with how much I can keep expanding on this project without loss of momentum. It really is a freeing design.
Polar Samson Shenanigans
Pushing my boundaries with this art of Polar Samson! Featuring Death's (from Puss n Boots) sickles.
Two New Games!
I released a new game on my itch.io account! Check out Snout Stretch, a cute short puzzle game: https://firecakes.itch.io/snout-stretch There is a second game that was finished for a while but never made public, a troll platformer made in spirit of an old prototype AzuriteReaction was working on, which you can also play here: https://firecakes.itch.io/ramen-cat-redux
New Skunk Creature
This may or may not be for a comic... meet Juniper the skunk!
Ferret to Fennec
Don't you hate it when the educational disembodied hands come over and mess with all your letters? They don't even ask for permission.
CuRSSor says surf responsibly
This is a special announcement from CuRSSor reminding you to be responsible on the internet! I attempted to emulate a clip art style with this one
RIP Cohost + New Federated Account
Remember when I said I would try out Cohost? Yeah I didn't expect it to shut down at the end of the year. But it turned out to be a generally pleasant experience overall and I got to meet and befriend cool new people, so I decided I will try one more time! This time I think I'm ready to open up to federated instances, so in theory anyone on any ActivityPub supported server should be able to…
Anton and Peppino
Pretty self explanatory.
Noodly Sketches
Have some manic art to finish off the year!
Twin Stick Shooter Tutorial Voiceover for ct.js
Woah I made an official voiceover for a new English ct.js YouTube channel! The video was already created and I donated my voice and read from a script. You can check out the tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekQQ7yS_3Hk
Major Site Updates
I've done another series of large updates to the site, finally allowing me to easily customize my own front page from the default page, which I've been meaning to do for such a long time. Hopefully this both shows what this project is capable of, and gives visitors other neat things to look at and to have a reason to visit the main page . I will try and change it up every now and then. For now I…
Pumpkin Carving - Samson
I did a really cool pumpkin carving of Samson!
PC Games I Like
I like a lot of games. I want to talk about the games I like. This is that post. I'll try and cover the not so popular stuff, because there really are a lot of wonderful experiences out there. Crypt of the Necrodancer Genre: Rhythm dungeon crawler roguelite One of my favorite games. I don't play it anymore but there is just so much you can learn and get better at. The game is very good at bringing…
Ct.js Game Jam 4
I made another ct.js game for the yearly game jam! I think it's pretty cool and that you should check it out. It's loosely based on the US prohibition period and it's a puzzle/exploration game where you have to find a speakeasy by talking to the city folk. I'm considering making a behind the scenes video about it to explain the technical aspects behind the game such as the seamless looping city.…
Myno Fanart
Yinglet fanart for Myno!
ArtFight 2024
Fun fact: I submitted this post previously, and this site just, ate it and never actually posted it, so this is the second time I'm writing this now! Gotta fix that, I guess... "Joachim Being Silly", for 404ermine "Renby Plays Viola", for Coyotlito "Amp Charging", for Gulumunkus "Dewey Idle", for bakertoons "SpaceMouse Waving", for Space Mouse "Jimbo", for noirangel "Kuhi Resting", for Cato_Kato…
I'm now on Cohost
I've kept my communication channels closed and secretive. Fortunately, that changes today. I've made a Cohost account, which you can check out here!
Elinor Wonders Why Mr. Raccoon Fanart
I got to wondering what shows on PBS kids recently, and one show in particular was captivating to me, "Elinor Wonders Why". This is my favorite character I saw: Mr. Raccoon!
Project Updates
I've been working on some larger projects, nothing complete to show yet, but one of them has been helping with adding documentation to a new visual scripting language in ct.js. The other thing is this fella, who is going to star in a game!
Samson and Chillet
I will not be taking questions today.
Augustus on Lunch Break
Needed to make something a little less crazy than the last post, so here's Augustus on his lunch break.
Migrated the Server Again
Well, I will not be using Ubuntu for my servers anymore, as I have learned that every time the snapd process runs it eats up 100% of the CPU for up to hours and stalls my server. Let's see how a Debian OS does.
Samson Four Forms
While the new polar form of Samson was a huge success, there has been a lot of recent criticism regarding the absence of the other elemental forms. If there is fire and ice/water, where are air and earth? Was the author seriously incapable of filling in the gaps? Well wonder no more, for I have listened. (Introducing an April Fools joke that went like 3 steps too far to be a joke anymore) And here…
The Cakelandish Mascot
I forgot I made a character for this project! It is the site's mascot, basically. You can see more info here
0.9.0 Release
Greetings, from a whole new machine and server! With 0.9.0 finally released I can now start on customizing my own site all through the comfort of the webpages. I've been wanting to add some new pages and change the look of the index.html, but before this update it would have been obnoxious. I'm always busy so these changes will come slowly, but my hope is to really personalize this place more.
Videos about ct.js
I've been helping a lot with making content for a game engine , as well as getting it ready for a v4 release, which is now completed. The most recent thing I've made is a video showcasing what the engine can do. I put a lot more effort into the editing of this video than others. Check it out?

More miscellaneous art. Ferret shenanigans Character by Marslowell New character by me! A killdeer.
Art Fight 2023
Now that I have a version of this site that's somewhat usable, I can share what I did last year! I participated in my second Art Fight and here are the results! "Benji", by Resachii "Prophet", by sleepysalami "Yhumi Newmaker", by Gulumunkus "Gila", by Torchflight "Oddie", by : ALeafyOddie "Moss", by : Moth_997 "Possum Sona", by : tater_art "Callie", by : Desitos
Exploring Quadratic Diophantines and the Magic Square of Squares
In the meantime, I worked on a video for a math explaining competition on YouTube. It is a second attempt and I ended up inventing some very interesting ideas, including a general process to solving quadratic diophantine equations. So, that's cool, and almost definitely a world first. Watch the video here
Personal Update
This post is to pinpoint a moment in time in which I am stuck on continuing the cakelandish project. It is not by any means cancelled, however I am reliant on factors outside my control to continue reasonably. The server framework is the primary issue for the project, and Oak for Deno has been quite unreliable in availability and not crashing, with no way to diagnose the issue; the failures appear…

Blinx Fur
I kept thinking about what Blinx's fur looked like underneath all those clothes so I finally stopped thinking about it and drew it. So enjoy this mildly cursed art. Noone will ever know what the paws look like.
Steel Eel Fanart
Here is a steel eel! The bonus sketch is me guessing what kind of life they have, and a cashier immediately came to mind.
