haha, same here. Don't worry about it.

Glad to hear! I've basically been lazying around reading novels most of this summer, so it's nice, I guess? ha. Not too productive though. Are you guys starting class again soon?

Oh lord almighty, unfortunately yes. School starts on Wednesday, and I'll be moving in Tuesday morning. All of the stuff in my apartment is already set up, so I don't have to worry about that. This summer has been wonderful, full of doodling and reading. I'm not too excited to go back to being productive, haha

Well, week 1 is past, and I can say that my roommates are alright. Only met them once before, but they're nice enough, though one girl is going on a no-carb diet and I haven't seen her eat anything other than cucumbers and kale so I kinda worry for her but I mean, she's an adult who can make her own life choices. Other than that, there's a sweet study lounge in my building and cheap coffee right next door

Urgh, I'm a junior! Half of my college career is over with, and I'll be out in the real world soon =_= What are you going to be doing this fall?

ah, were they randomly assigned to you? Are you still on-campus? or wait, I guess Cal doesn't really do on-campus, right? Well, I hope that you have a swimmingly fine relationship with your roommates (and that that one roommate gets enough to eat. eep.)

The study lounge and coffee sound nice xDD Are you anticipating needing lots of coffee? haha

Nice! That's exciting. I guess applications and what not next year harhar... Remind me what you're majoring in again? I know we talked about CS classes, but I can't remember why you were taking those haha.

As for me, I'm...... still taking classes. More drawing classes, I guess. People keep asking if I'm going to transfer and I'm like 'uhhh...'

My friend and I were looking for apartments together, and saw that these people were looking for two more people to fill their apartment, and so here we are. Cal does some on-campus housing (I was in on-campus housing last year), but it's kinda pricey, so we were trying to downsize while still being close to campus. The lounge is pretty great, except when people decide to have parties in the courtyard, right next to the lounge, and blast music    And I dunno about the coffee, since part of me always craves coffee, but I think I'm more in love with the IDEA of coffee than coffee itself. I'm always kind of disappointed by whatever coffee drink I get, unless it's absolutely amazing quality, haha.

I'm majoring in economics! Much more fun than CS (the major I was intending to go into before my first class wrecked me), even though financial economics is making me scream (guess that means no wall street for me ). And honestly I wanted to take some art classes, but they're all small and reserved for people who are actually declaring the art major, so I never get in. Good thing I brought my tablet with me to school for drawing in my downtime! But what classes are you taking in particular?

ah icic. I remember being in that situation (well, not the same but) — the one where a friend and I were looking for an apt with other ppls, that is haha.

Aiyyyy, I'm more in love with the idea of coffee than I am with coffee too! Well, most of the time I just don't care to get coffee.

Nice! Glad you're liking it more. Do you have a focus/concentration or a part of econ that you like or are working toward?

Awww, that sucks. (If you're free over the summer, maybe you could take art classes at a community college (like me lol). They probably accept anyone haha) But yes! Good call on the tablet! I'm super behind on checking everyone's work, but I'm always excited to see drawings from you. :>

I'm taking Dynamic Sketching, Animal Drawing (um... half of it...), and Gesture Drawing (for the 3rd time in a row! )

I'd take all of Animal Drawing, but I have a work-required training class during the second half of the semester that conflicts, so evidently, I'll just be dropping Animal Drawing at that point. Hmph.

I definitely miss the active Pacthesis fandom days too I kind of hope that Amy starts working on another game, but I know that she's busy now with a full-time job.

I can feel that, it's my third year in college and i had kind of a hiatus last year when I've forgotten about drawing almost completely :v but I picked it up again
I think apart from Amy's hiatus this site is also changing, i dunno, because some other popular artists I watched from that time have also been losing active watchers. It's almost like the generation has grown tired of dA as social media... it's so sad

It is pretty sad... But hey, I'm glad that you reached out! It's nice to hear from you, especially after this fandom has grown so quiet If you're ever up for it, maybe we could do some sort of collaborative fan art or fanfiction? Just as a nice thing for Amy, and maybe it'll reach a few others in the fandom who are still hanging around. But I know that we're both busy college kids, so we probably wouldn't be able to do anything too elaborate. I'm just feeling a little nostalgic now.

Hey that's an interesting idea. What do you have in mind? I could help with drawing, and I don't know about writing because English is not my first language, but I can try if needed. But my mind would need to adapt to the Pacthesis world once again _(:з」∠)_ I've got several friends (in China) who were in this fandom with me, so I can see if they've got any ideas.
And yep there's the time issue because of school and I've been drawing mostly for some project of mine, but maybe we can try to make it happen. q:

Hmm, if we could rally enough people, maybe we could make a small fan comic or collection of fan art, organize it into a pdf, and send it to her? Of course, we could also just keep things simple. Encourage a wave of fan art from people in the fandom, by possibly reaching out to LeMae and Daisy through the Pacthesis Fab Fans page. Or we could always just draw stuff for her individually. In the end, it's really just the thought that counts! My middle-school self just really wants to thank Amy for giving us these games.

I used to do group art like this   It was drawn by me (with a base from dA), but my friends gave me character settings (hair, outfit etc.) to represent themselves, with the Pacthesis characters together in this picture. So i've got this idea, maybe we can do a group picture (collaboration) featuring us with the characters we miss. And we could recruit more people by submitting the concept as 'open collaboration' to the group. This is very simple though, we could do something like this if time's scarce.
It's a suggestion - tell me anytime if you've got other ideas! :3

twilgiht150 In reply to LightyOle [2017-12-18 03:49:06 +0000 UTC]

The group picture sounds like a great way to do a collaborative piece with a bunch of people! And we could ask LeMae and Daisy to write a journal so more people who are interested can know about the idea. I've also been involved in a group piece that consisted of one artist drawing a large lineart poster, and then dividing it into several squares that people could color in piece by piece. Of course, that puts a lot of pressure on that one artist, and it takes a bit of creative freedom away from the people involved, so your idea does sound better. Also, another fandom that I'm in releases an annual free digital anthology of fanart from a bunch of artists, with a very loose theme connecting all of the pictures (e.g. red string of fate). I think it contained about 35 pictures in its first issue, but grew for its later issues as more people got involved. But I guess we can discuss even more ideas after we see how many people are interested in contributing.

I have contacted my friends, there are 2-3 people interested in an art collaboration, but we're not sure about the time because they don't have holidays till February (in China). (I still have to persuade them that they really don't need to draw so well to participate ) And another friend wants to do a little fan fiction, but as she would only write in Chinese, this could not be a group project unfortunately.

twilgiht150 In reply to LightyOle [2017-12-22 07:56:43 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! Thanks for reaching out to people. And who knows, maybe we could structure the fan collaboration such that we could contribute whenever we're free. For instance, we could set a soft deadline for March, and have everyone contribute a piece of art (or more than one if they're up for it) by the beginning or end of the month. Do you think we should contact people who've already submitted fan-art to the fab fans group, and see if they'd be interested in making anything else? Part of me is a little scared of seeing just how small this fandom has become, so I'm a bit hesitant to go out and seek people out...  

By the way, for fan-fiction, we could do something where you just have a collection of writing from different people. Even if her writing is only in Chinese, maybe together we could try to translate it (using our combined brainpower and the mighty Google Translate ). I think ideally we'd be able to open it up to both fan-art and fan-fiction so more people can get involved.

Hi sorry i've been dead for like 2 weeks!! I was on a trip for Xmas holiday (Happy late new year! lol)
Actually during the holidays i was chatting with my friends in China, and they were drawing mugshots of Pacthesis characters to celebrate the New Year. I believe they'll be willing to participate in more of these activities :>
Yeah I think we should ask more people from the group, but it's also okay if they're too busy (we can invite them to advertise it or at least come check out the final result xD) I've got an idea - we can collect some fan arts and arrange them together to make a shape, like the pride flag of dA (I've got one on my profile). Maybe a heart shape <3<3 That way everyone has ultimate freedom to draw in any way they like, as long as it's Pacthesis-related. :3
* If I receive a Chinese fan-fiction, I'll work on translating it - we've got two bilinguals in our Chinese group. The problem is that i doubt if they'll really write it since the most of us prefer drawing

No worries. I've been traveling for two weeks, actually, and I rarely had time to go on deviantart during that time. I just got back today (I haven't slept in 28 hours and I'm going to crawl into bed soon ) 

You know, the shape idea's pretty good! Maybe a heart-shape as you suggested, or a coffee-kun ^^ Would we be using some previously-made fanart, all new fanart, or a combination of both? I don't think those old fanartists would mind us using their work for a collage, but maybe ask just in case. 

And I went on Amy's instagram today, where she posted a video of her testing out a menu box with some code in the background. Perhaps this means that she's been working on another game, which maybe means that she'll have an announcement sometime in the near future. Here's to hoping <3

I know that feeling lol! Travelling can be really exhausting. I don't want to step out of my room for days xD
Oh my god we definitely need a coffee-kun We could ask people to submit their artwork both old and new, and also gather old pieces actively. But I suddenly thought, would there be enough exposure for each individual piece when they're presented together as a shape? Maybe they'll be too small for people to admire closely... I don't want to give up on this idea, but I can't think of a solution at the moment

Whoa I'd love to have a new game from Amy. I watch another several artists who made dating games, but all of them seem to have stopped ;_; I'd like to try making games myself too (though I've not started at all), and some friends told me I'd hardly have any time for that after I graduate. Maybe that's the case with everyone else too. Growing up's so hard

twilgiht150 In reply to LightyOle [2018-01-12 01:45:49 +0000 UTC]

We can just give the coffee-kun a try, and see how it goes? If we just let the full file be pretty big, such that people could zoom in to see up close, I think it'll be okay. Or we can still go with an "magazine" idea where we just collect some art into a pdf with maybe personal notes from fans? I mean, I have a lot I'd like to say about Amy and her fantastic games, and I'm sure a lot of people do  

Yeah, I know what you mean  I used to follow nummyz/Kat Lieu pretty closely, and I even bought hard copies of her Maid for Me books, but recently she's just been so quiet. And once you have an actual job, along with all of the responsibilities of being an independent adult who has to manage her own life, it must be incredibly hard to find free time, much less commit to big projects like games. But still, there are some great game makers around. For instance, I'm a huge fan of MoaCube's Cinders and Solstice, which are these incredible visual novels, and Dicesuki's Cinderella Phenomenon was kickstarted and released for free on Steam. Maybe the older generation of game makers have moved on, but there's still a lot of newcomers still making incredible games for us to enjoy, for which I am eternally grateful

No, I should be apologizing for being so quiet for a whole month! Sorry, exams have been very time-consuming, so I haven't had the chance to reach out much or even really think about my art piece. I did send a note to the Pacthesis Fab Fans group, though, so hopefully LaMae or Daisy will see it. I'm not sure how often they check up on the group nowadays, but I remember LaMae telling us that she'd rather not receive private messages about Pacthesis-related stuff on her personal account. 

...And I might check out 'Saccharine' if I have a free moment
