RimWorld mod - Inanis Springhares (Testing)

We have the latest build for the RimWorld race mod I've been tinkering with. in theory this should be more or less ready for uploading to the Steam Workshop, but I figured it'd be a good idea to let you Patrons have the first look at it! <3

Instincts are a powerful wepaon... and a powerful weakness.

No Place Like Home

Timor does not come from Thistleland. He comes from another largely unexplored continent known unimaginatively as "The Southern Continent".

Many years ago people from Thistleland sailed south to The Southern Continent with the express goal to set up farmsteads to grow crops both hard to grow in the cooler continent of Thistleland as well as native Southern crops that simply do not grow in Thistleland.

Due to the focus on crop growing, little of The Southern Continent has been expl...

Notice/Diplomatic Claim: Cannikin, Page 11 WIPs

As you may have noticed, not only is this comic page delayed, but it is both not yet technically finished and not even a Rag Tag page.

As with many people over the last couple years, things have been a bit tricky for myself with finances. During this time I relied more and more on the comic backlogs, with the intention of building them back up when work picked up enough to pay for it.

Regrettably a short while ago I caught COVID and it hammered me hard resulting in about two weeks...

Choose Springhare names!

It's time for you wonderful supporters to lend your thoughts!

Pick a name or two from these two lists, and the most popular names will be given to the springhares seen in Diplomatic Claim, Page 10! 

Spinghares have a wide variety of names, often reflecting a local community if they live with other species. However, inside a galaxy those Springhares that give themselves over to the Section or Scrunger life will more often then not follow a naming convention that the galaxy the...

Around the time Diplomatic Claim was first thought up, I was already tinkering with another Inanis project, HMS Fatum Intra Faux. 

HMS FIF was intended as an interactive adventure of a ship of springhares who travel the stars taking on missions (HMS standing for Hopping Mission Ships, Hopping ships being ones that can project themselves, the springhare equivalent to FTL). 

Before each story a breif overview of the mission is presented to the readers, and viewers could th...

Apologies for the delay in this page... Better late then never? 

One tricky aspect for some folk with enraged Squirrel Bandits is bringing down their HP faster then their transformation increaces it.

Diplomatic Claim: Cannikin, Page 9

The worst part of this is that it's probably nowhere near the most rediculious workaround to get something done within politics, both in Inanis and the real world.

The Teleporter Problem is one of those fun things that is either brushed aside as uninportant, or is one of the single most controversal thingst things to do with ones self. The Ship of Theseus is all fun and games until you become the ship. You can probably guess which side the Dragon Empire sits on this.

Yes, that Spr...

It's always nice to have diversity in one's snacks.
It's also nice to have diversity of snackers.

Red Plantas, much like many Aniplantae, feed on more then jsut the physical. A large component of their diets, either essential or side effect, is that of the mind. Thankfully such feastings on their victims conciousness isn't particularly harmfull, though it does give the victim a wonderfully blissful sleep... assuming they aren't digested during.

Diplomatic Claim Page 8 Wordless

I'm a silly springy who forgot the wordless full res page!

Let's correct that now~

Diplomatic Claim Progress Art: Page 8

After each comic page, I'll upload what I have of the progress pictures for that page, just for you supporters only <3

Here we have the progress images for the latest page of Diplomatic Claim

Diplomatic Claim: Cannikin, Page 8

After all these pages, we actually see a Cannikin. 

Any guesses what the habitat was inspired by?

Rag Tag: Rookie Rodents, Page 37

While Red Plantas can certainly gobble someone up with their maws, they are more known for eating people via their tendril-filled pitcher plant pods each side of their flanks. Looks like our Red Planta gets two meals this time!

Rag Tag 37 Sketch

Oh look, it's a little sneak peek sketch ;3

I'll see about uploading the comic page sketches before the page for you lovly lot~ <3

Sometimes the blissfull feeling of being treated as an object, a simple piece of preymeat the be chowed down on, to be considered without any regard to one's own mind and personhood by a Synth Stoat can be as blissfull and cathargic as going all the way to becoming synthetic pudge.

And sometimes that bliss, that indulgence in the sample of being prey can be enough to sooth the senses.

Some Synth Stoats that can Cannikin people also have the functionality to remodel the person in C...

Q&A - Rag Tag, June 2023

Another Month, another Q&A post! As always, if you wonderful supporters have a question burning about Rag Tag, the characters or the wider Thistleland setting, just throw a comment below and I'll do my best to give a good answer for you (sans spoilers! ;D)

Tight Confines

A little bit of trivia: Timor (Yes, the artist and Thistleland character!) spends more time then not out and about the world, sleeping in a sort of hybrid between a tent and hammock. Being suspended in the air far within a tent above the ground is safer for almost every night!

Here you can see Timor, Bohea and Peppermint having a peaceful, though rather confined, sleep in his tent.

You might notice this piece is a larger format then normal, something that'll continue going forward...

Q&A - Diplomatic Claim, May 2023

As with the Q&A session for Rag Tag, Patrons may ask a question that I'll do my best to answer in a far more detailed way thne a single sentence!

Feel free to ask a question in the comments! ;3

Diplomatic Claim: Cannikin, Page 7a

All that's left is to lay back and let the machine process all involved.

Some may remember a certain post a while back involving a very similar situation, and yes it's exactly the events depicted here~

Q&A - Rag Tag, May 2023

Starting off the renewed Patron-only Q&As for the comics and settings, I decided it's best to have a Q&A with each comic upload, based on the setting. the general idea is each patron getsa to ask a question for each Q&A and I'll do my best-est to answer it!

Thus as today was a Rag Tag comic upload, this is a Thistleland Q&A!

Got a question about Thistleland? Now's the time to say! There'll also be similar for the Patrons who are on Discord, so for those who support...

Darjeeling is a Springhare. Naturally springing comes part and parcel to an animal with such a name.

Diplomatic Claim: Cannikin, Page 7

Some of you may recognise one or two of these people~ ;3

As with most Synth Stoats, Dipso's abilities are limited by the local technology level, the hardware he can physically incorporate into his chassis body, and his skill in using them. Who knows where he got a projected display system better then Cammomiles own.

Diplomatic Claim: SneakPeek, Page 7

Just a little sneak peek for you wonderful supporters to tease you ;3

(Doodle) Hyper Springhare

Back in Page 2 of Diplomatic Claim, Timor and I were being a bit silly, and we decided to do some Hyper art.

Naturally, being springhares, the bodypart being made massive is the ears.

Who else wants some Lop Ear Springhares? ;D

You roll a critical fail! And *you* roll a critical fail! Everyone rolls a critical fail! Or do they...?

Supporter Sneak Peek

Allo there!

Just a little Supporters Sneaky peek at the future: Timor Commissions will be opening tomorrow over on FA for another limited batch of slots, with the usual system. 

One thing to note is that the commission sheet will be different by the time the commissions open, regrettably with some price increases. I'll be making a proper journal explaining about that in the 'morrow alongside the opening

Nothing quite like a working lunch break~

Or, as a certain AI in The Animatrix put it: "Your flesh is a relic; a mere vessel. Hand over your flesh, and a new world awaits you. We demand it."
