syrupyy

there is so much whipped coffee lore that none of you have seen. maybe I'll make a comic out of it today if I have time after working on this video

Whipped coffee cookie would say things like "I suppose" and "surely"

thestarlily has been unbanned on the promise that if they mess up again, they'll be banned again for longer this time. i trust that they're more willing to be mature about it

mole maniac got me into rain world and im sooooo addicted. i wish the pixel art was rippable so we could have a rainworld comic studio

view counts keep going higher and higher. this weekend was another new record for most people on the site. thank you all so much

comic studio is gonna go mainstream. i can feel it in my bones. we gotta make sure all the popular franchises are represented with as many studios as possible so that every good fandom can join in

WAIT WHEN DID CURRANT CREAM COME OUT

im SO sorry for not adding their sprites i didnt know!!!

one other thing.
i've noticed that there's a lot of text posts going around feeling scared/angry about "the drama", and. god i hate to be the one to say this-
99% of the drama posts are about the drama posts. if you want the drama to end, stop posting about it. simple as that!
some of you post like 20 times an hour and it's clear some of those thoughts just... don't need to be shared. i'm seeing some people against the studio helper feature because they saw someone having a panic attack over it, when in reality they're having a panic attack over other people freaking out, over like... 3 total posts about the studio helper feature. so, we're now left with 30 posts of people losing their mind over the problem and 3 posts actually about the problem, and it's only drama because of those 30 posts. so, the solution is to just not make those 30 posts
if you feel like you messed up, apologize and move on. otherwise, try to make a comic about something else, or close the tab if you need to

i gave the studio helper role to 3 people to help test whether everything worked or not, and one of those people was jackmoo101. i made the mistake of not telling him what to do, and as a result he started adding sprites to various studios without asking them for permission first. he has been demoted. i apologize
from now on, there will be a list of rules that studio helpers have to follow, and i will demote anyone who breaks them even once. there will also be a public log of their changes

lastly, i'd just like to clear up a few misunderstandings people have about the feature:
1. "allow studio helpers" was on by default for the 99% of studios that aren't popular and could use some help. i have since turned it off for all studios with 100+ comics
2. admins have already been able to do this since the site came out and there hasn't been any issues. this only happened because i didn't tell him what to do. again, that's on me

if you have any other questions, let me know in the comments

the studio version history thing i added yesterday now shows the contents of all changes! you can now see what edits were made by clicking the dates. this should 99% get rid of studio vandalism

ok ok. this might sound a little insane. but hear me out

i was looking at wikia-- AHEM. fandom.com, and thinking about how a good wiki is so much easier to make than a good comic studio. i thought about why, and then realized it's because the most passionate members of a community can edit whatever wiki page they want
so i just realized. what if i made it so trusted members of the site (who have already proven theirselves by making several studios) could edit other people's studios to add new sprites/change the theme/etc?
it'd basically be the current power of admins, but instead of just deleting rule breaking studios they can also help out smaller ones. i could also make it so anyone can just turn off the ability for studio helpers (that's a good name. i'm calling them that) to edit their studios if they're worried about vandalism

what do you think about this. discuss in the comments

BUNCH OF FIXES:
- you can now delete your submitted sprites
- you can upload fonts to your studios again (it required a few libraries that i REMEMBER copying to the new server but they somehow disappeared???? but theyre back now)
- also I added the blue lily valentine's costume to cookie run comic studio
Please let me know if there's any other obvious easy fixes you want me to make

if you encounter any time-related issues ping me. things get wonky around daylight savings time

comic studio is kinda like flipnote hatena if you think about it

pastel meringue cookie up now. let me know if i'm missing anything else

i apologize for saying i would do the new ovenbreak cookies today and then never getting the time for it

new ovenbreak sprites tomorrow by midnight EST or i'll donate all the ad money on the site to charity for a day

will try coercing myself to add the new ovenbreak sprites tomorrow,

slowly getting work done on translations, the login and signup pages are now translated into spanish and korean. if you're interested in helping translate comic studio into another language you know, comment on this or DM me and I'll tell you more once the whole site is translated!

so, the DigitalDonutz disappearance situation.
all of their comic studio accounts went inactive November of 2022; according to their friends, their ovenbreak and blockstarplanet accounts also went inactive around the same time. i found an active login session in the database, so it wasn't a forgotten password situation; something happened to make them no longer able to access their devices
so, what happened? well, forgive me, but I looked in their messages (for the record, I do not read your messages; I only search through the database when it involves user safety like this) and found that they mentioned having highly devout christian parents who don't let them have social media and wouldn't even let them have ovenbreak if they knew about the demonic subtext of some of the content
so, that's my theory: I think their parents took away their devices, and i'm sure they'll be back someday when things are better :)

there was an issue before where you couldn't upload images to certain studios; if you tried and it didn't work before, try again! it should be fixed now
EDIT: just also fixed submissions lol
