Site Updates

6/2/2022: The observatory is officially beginning construction! A lot of what you see here right now is temporary, like the logo, background, and other stuff. Most pages are not done yet, but when they become available I'll make it known here!

8/1/2022: Bye bye banner! I wasn't happy with how the banner was looking so I simply did away with it, and made the BG fixed. Honestly, it doesn't look half bad, and it's more consistent. The Art Gallery and Mod Showroom pages are now up, with fancy buttons to categorize everything. So far, only one button on the Mod Showroom page works, the 3DS Themes one. The footer has also been redone.

8/14/2022: I've been hard at work for the last few days, it's been a ton of fun putting all this together even more! The Art Gallery and Mod Showroom are now 99% functional, with (almost) all the buttons leading to a vast museum of my creations on each page! Feel free to browse around my art and mods. Now we also have an icon and a custom cursor, which might look familiar if you've played Super Mario Galaxy. The icon, like many things still, is a placeholder. I hope to create new graphics for it, the background, logo and other things over the following days. Up next, I'll be setting up the Yostershire page, which I'm excited to do. More on that soon!

8/15/2022: The Yostershire page is taking shape, starting with the characters home page! Expect the site to slightly branch out in looks as you enter specific pages like that one. Making the actual character bios will take a fair bit but I want to put lots of love into them. And, new footer once more! I think this simple style looks better. The SMG icons and Neocities button are temporary, of course. :P

8/27/2022: I guess I can call this the 1.0 update of the site! I finished all the pending pages, set up the blog, and made a whole bunch of graphics and adjustments! The SMG star icons will probably remain, I like them too much to leave them as placeholders. Of course, this is only the beginning, I have much I want to do with my site! (Such as the character ref pages) But for now I'll take it easy and work on other projects. It's been incredibly rewarding to put it all together and I know I'll keep having fun as I add more things.

9/8/2022: Added an extra nav bar in the MKDS and Wii pages and revamped the lobby to show 2 types of updates.

10/24/2022: Removed allusions to future MKWii projects, as I've now retired from this game. Also, I was going to do lots of cool updates to several pages but a lot of things left me away from my laptop for a long time, lmao

11/17/2022: Many parts of the site have recieved a major overhaul! The nav bar has been completely redone with the original idea I had (SMG style buttons), the about page has much more information and the art gallery is completely redone! Browse not just full drawings, but also sketches, gift art and other mediums. The home page now has much more interesting organization and features artwork. New icons for buttons, pages and even a custom scroll bar! More small reworks will come, but for now I'm happy to roll out all these changes.

11/18/2022: The observatory is now mobile friendly! For the most part. It took me much less effort than expected, but most pages and their elements should display correctly on mobile devices! The Mod Showroom and Yostershire sections however are still not mobile friendly due to how their code is set up. I do plan to change the modding section in the future, but for now those two places won't look good on mobile. Everything else however is good!

10/9/2023: No major changes to the site, I just wanted to say that the site hasn't been abandoned or anything. Life's been a little busy and stressful lately which has kept me away from all my creative endeavors. I hope to be getting back to them soon, especially because I want to revamp some areas of the site. That and explore Neocities more, which also takes time. As always, stay tuned! Also, new artwork: Adrift Altair! Drawing space scenery really gives me life honestly, it's the best thing ever.

7/23/2023: I am not dead! Just incredibly busy and tired to focus on art or the site. More stuff to come soon for sure! For the time being, enjoy a new artwork: Passionate Kiss!

5/29/2023: The Shimeji collection keeps on growing! Play around with Donoshi, and 2 new variants: Donoshi riding a big boot, and Marie riding her Starshroom! Marie and Donoshi can transform into this variants as they please. Altair, Donoshi and Marie all also have new actions: Eating food and jumping at the screen! Plus new falling animations, and other small interactions.

5/3/2023: New artwork: Starlight Lovers. I finally like my art enough to make myself a wallpaper, yay!

4/7/2023: After months of putting it off, the character pages are FINALLY here! Well, one of them at least. Get to know Marie in depth by visiting her character profile page! It will also serve as a base to more easily craft the pages of everyone else, so get ready to get lots and lots of lore in the coming months!

3/26/2023: "New" artwork: Under The Stars. I actually made this back in August but never posted it, lol

3/17/2023: New artwork: Fearless Knight. Witness Bon in her battle-ready glory!

1/9/2023: Updated the fanart page to include some amazing art I got lately! Plus, Yostershire's Characters page has updated icons, courtesy of my good friend Fantom! Thanks a lot!

12/31/2023: The stories section of Yostershire FINALLY has a story! Have a look at the life of Marie's parents in Looking Out For You! Any sort of stories, short or long will go in this area and use a similar template to the character pages. This is likely the last update of the year, so Happy New Year, and may 2024 be an awesome year for all of us!

11/13/2023: New artwork: Marielle's new look! I'll be doing more renders of this new style, especially for characters that don't get enough drawings!

11/7/2023: New artwork: Marie with a new style! Been changing up my drawing style for Yoshis and I'm happy with what I've got!

10/13/2023: Suddenly, major changes! The site has recieved a slightly new look, mainly organizing the layouts and hopefully optimizing the site:

I was going to change up the Mod Archive and buttons to access subsections, but I don't really have many ideas and they are okay as they are, so they'll be updated eventually.
