Title art for the game Sugarplum Cafe, with the name in large curly letters. Two ladies, Lady Milk Chocolate and Lady Vanilla, sit at a table having afternoon tea. In the background, they are surrounded by desserts. Screenshot of a game set in a cafe, with a currency counter on the top right and a cameo-shaped UI on the top left. Next to the cameo, some text reads "Collect 6 Cameos." The walls are white with pastel pink and teal color accents and gold filigree. In the foreground, three customers (one wearing vanilla, one wearing chocolate, and one wearing strawberry) have speech bubbles over their heads indicating what desserts they would like to order. In the bottom right corner, there is a grid with some desserts. There is also a display window in the background with more desserts. An elegant tearoom with baby pink curtains and large windows showing a pastel gradient backdrop. In the foreground, three tables with off-white tablecloths seat three pairs of characters, each pair having a tea party. From left to right: Jasmine and Lemon Madeline, Lady Strawberry and Lady Mint, and Lady Lemon and Lady Lime. The cafe is empty save for a dialogue bubble, with Lady Vanilla in the foreground. The text in the bubble reads, "LADY VANILLA: Ah, you must be the new owner. Nice to meet you!" There are two filigreed buttons in the corner, one to view past dialogues and one to skip the conversation.

I'm not in marketing but an angry guy shrieking "Guess what asshole...AI isn't going away so you might as well accept it!" doesn't strike me as the way you'd pitch an ostensibly useful product

If you play my demo you'll get a white ribbon, and if you crash the demo you get a bonus pink ribbon. Let's hope I don't run out of the pink 💀

Aghhh Google started filtering my newsletters again so the latest one won't show in your inbox :')

To fix this (browser only):
1) Search "Sugarplum Cafe newsletter"
2) Right click the most recent email
3) Select "Label as"
4) Uncheck all possible labels

Gmail plssss I'm so tired of algorithms

Long time no see! I've been busy IRL, but the latest #SugarplumCafe newsletter is out now!

I write about upcoming #egl events, some cosmetic updates to the game, and a unique dessert parlor in Taiwan.

You can read it at thelettergii.kit.com, or join my mailing list so you don't miss the next one!

SURPRISE IT'S DONE.

Honestly this ended up being a diss-track to everyone, everyone catches strays in this one. Cara, artfol, deviantart, artstation, Bluesky, facebook, youtube, patreon, gumroad, -

you get the picture, it's long, but it does end on a hopeful note.

this is my magnum opus rant
