fantasy haven leader thread ❖ swc nov '24

Amethyst-animation

Hello everyone! First things first - if you're not a leader of Fantasy this session, please don't go further than this post. It'll ruin a lot of surprises that we have in store for this session. As SWC operates on an honour system, we hope you abide with that.

Now that's out of the way- welcome Fantasy co's! I'm so excited to have you here <3
This post will operate as a list of sorts, which you can refer back to to see what needs doing and a general place where you can find your ground if you're confused!
It's still a work in progress, so it's not polished, like, at all

Things to do
Polish storyline
Polishing cabin
Promotional project

Leader List
Amethyst-animation | Amethyst | Leader
ChueyTheCat | Chuey | Co-Leader
cceaneyes | Willow | Co-Leader

Storyline
A magical cabin filled with fantastical elements. Campers will stumble across a cove of what was thought to be extinct dragons, all hiding from the dark forces sweeping across the island. Throughout the session, each camper will be able to tame and take care of their own dragon by completing dailies, weeklies and other activities, and the session will ultimately conclude with the campers taking the dragons to defeat the evil on the continent – but they can only do this if enough dragons are at a certain health and bond.

Pinboard
We need to focus on finalizing the thumbnail and making a promotional project.

So, of course - I'm Amethyst! I've been a co-leader twice, and this is my first time as a leader. I'm also a member of the Polar Bears (previously known as the Daily Team) as the weekly coordinator. I'm a Christian, a Swiftie, an animal lover and an aspiring writer

Fantasy has always been my favourite genre to write in, so I'm pumped to start this session!

ChueyTheCat

Hey y'all! I'm Chuey, and this is my first time coleading

I'm a homeschooled Christian who loves reading, writing, drawing, and chaos

Fantasy is one of my favorite genres to read and write in, so this is basically my dream cabin :starstruck: This will be my fifth session of SWC!!

ChueyTheCat

note: I'm going to slap down some ideas here and update it with new ones to avoid clutter until the other co is confirmed and can join the conversation, after which I'll make new posts :)
also as another note I'm definitely capable of doing art if needed to!

name ideas
alr so name ideas! *rubs hands together* I've come up with a few over the past couple days, my personal favorite so far is the “Fantasy Haven,” referring to how the dragons found a place to hide from the dark force(s). Some other suggestions are the Fantasy Cove, Bay, or Isle, which all refer to the island the cabin is focused on, or maybe something like the Fantasy Dragon Tamers/Keepers. If we wanted the title to be in front of the cabin genre we could also do a name along the lines of “Dragon/other island name Isle/island” followed by the genre and date.
symbol ideas
(these are all just a bunch of random ones I found that I thought were interesting lol, they may or may not be what you're looking for) ✴ ❀ ☀ ✵ ❃ ⭐ ✽ ✧ ❖ ◈
dragon ideas
I have some loose ideas for the dragon concept–one of them is that campers get to “spin” for their dragon, randomly receiving one out of however many kinds or colors or whatever. Another idea is that they get to “order” a dragon much like they would matching pfps, enabling them to customize it however they like. One concept I find intriguing is doing something along the lines of a MYO (make your own) species, where the base is often cheap or even free, and if people want to use rarer traits for their creature they can purchase them with the accepted currency (in this case, the in-cabin currency). This would ensure that every camper got a dragon, and provide motivation to those who wanted rarer traits to earn currency by doing dailies/weeklies/etc.
cabin ideas
There are three main questions I have right now, and those are 1. Do we want an in-cabin currency? 2. How do we want to do camper word counts? (One group, a group for each leader, or forums?) and 3. Do we want to do cabin allies/enemies?
For question 1, I like the idea of an in-cabin currency and I think it helps motivate campers. For question 2, personally I lean towards the word-group-for-each-leader idea, but while it lessens the workload for the main leader, it also has the potential to create problems if one of the leaders goes inactive without transferring host-ship of the studio first. And for question 3, I think allies/enemies are really fun lol they add another dimension of interest to cabin wars for me.
Those are just my thoughts haha, these will probably take a bit of bouncing around before we decide on something.
storyline ideas
These are really random and kinda disconnected oop but hopefully they'll be kind of helpful at least.
how the campers got on the island
. they were shipwrecked
. they were looking for dragons
. they were investigating the dark forces
. there's a human population on the island
the dark forces
. they're actually fairies and they don't like dragons for whatever reason
. wandering spirits made of negative emotions that have come to haunt the island and also don't like dragons for whatever reason
. evil/corrupted dragons
storyline progression
. i think it would be neat if it started with the campers finding the dragons, after including a snippet about their backstory (how the campers got on the island) in the desc where the storyline starts
. afterwards maybe it could be divided up into stages, where the campers fight a mini-boss from the dark forces at the end of every stage before fighting the final boss at the end of camp or something

this is incredible chuey!!

i know you don't have access to canva, but i was wondering whether that extended to things like google docs and word? it's all good if you can't access those either - i was just wondering how we should jot down our ideas!

glad to hear that about the art, but I'm also wondering if you have an art app, or do you just use scratch? it's all good if it's just scratch, it doesn't really matter - i'm just wondering aha

i think it might be better for us to keep sending new posts, since it's easier to see when something was updated and therefore what order the posts come in? idm that much though, it's up to you ^^

also! mythology has asked us whether we'd like to be siblings <3 I'm leaning towards yes, since mythology and dragons tie in close together - but what do you think?

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

NAME PLANNING
I love Fantasy Haven so much- it has such a nice ring to it! Fantasy Cove, Fantasy Bay and Fantasy Isle all sound really nice (I was kind of calling this cabin Fantasy Cove in my head when I was first coming up with the idea xDD) but I think Fantasy Haven is a bit more relevant? Are you all good with us calling it Fantasy Haven?

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

SYMBOL PLANNING
For a page divider things - which I'm hoping to use to format the cabin - I was thinking maybe we could use this! As you can see I've used on this post

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

As for the symbols you chose (you have really good “taste in symbols” lol) I love all of these!

❖ ◈

The only problem is that they don't really correlate with the cabin theme? That doesn't matter that much though - and the first one kind of looks like dragons scales, if you squint hard enough, so that's another reason I like it!

In terms of relevance, I think a cloud could potentially work as a symbol - but it's not as clean looking as the ones you selected above. What do you think?

☁︎

It's important to note that the symbol will be a divider between our cabin name and the point count that we have, in the main cabin! So it will kind of represent what our cabin's about. For me, I think that ❖ or ☁︎ might work the best to represent our cabin theme - but what do you think?

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

DRAGON PLANNING
WAIT THE MYO IS SO CLEVER- maybe we could have bases be free, and they're just really basic dragons in a few different colours? They could unlock new things for their dragon - like horns, fire, special abilities and all - with the in cabin currency, like you said!

Maybe we could have a project that's something like “Dragon Taming Arena” or something, and people can go in and tame a wild dragon of their choice? The project's description could have like these little things that are like “unlock fire-breathing for your dragon for xx currency!” And acts like a shop

I think that currency should have other capabilities :thinking: Last session my cabin did a thing where you didn't spend your currency but instead collected it, and you could unlock perks at certain points? So you could get, say, a matching pfp if you reached 25 in-cabin currency. That doesn't go well with the whole trait-buying thing, so we might discard that idea, but I was also thinking that we could keep track of how much in-cabin currency someone had, which would reflect on how much health a dragon had? Again - I'm not too sure <3

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

CABIN PLANNING
I think we should have in-cabin currency, although how it works is up to discussion, as I mentioned above!

I think maybe we could have three different guilds, of sorts? These people could train their dragons together oh dear I've accidentally run into a fandom and work on improving their abilities!

The whole inactivity thing *is* an issue, but we could always just create a new studio and copy the description over… hmm… that is a bit of an issue though. I could create a google spreadsheet (no worries if you can't access it!) and we could keep all our data there, so the whole host transfership thing wouldn't matter as much.

We should absolutely have allies/enemies imo! Again, mythology reached out about being siblings - which is basically just elevated allies lol, and they're much closer in bond. I really hope that we can do, say, a sibling-hangout studio?

We could potentially have a nemesis/evil sibling, which is like the opposite of a sibling, where we have the strongest rivalry? That was just an idea I had though- and we definitely don't have to do it ^^

ChueyTheCat

(sorry if these look really disjointed lol I was trying to reply to Amethyst without making it twice as long by including quotes)

No worries, and welcome to the team Willow!!

I have docs but I'm not too familiar with how anonymous users function, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the possibility of accidentally revealing something like my digital mail address (my parents are pretty strict about keeping things private). Sorry about that–I realize my restrictions probably make it a lot harder to chat :') however, I do have an extremely obscure account that only has 1 follower (and that person hasn't been active in at least 9 months lol), so if you wanted you could make the doc for you and Willow to chat in and then update me if anything important came up? Since we're in different timezones I probably wouldn't be able to take active part in the majority of the discussions anyway. Idk we'll work something out.

I do use an art app, actually! I've been using Krita for about 2 1/2 years now <3

Oh yeah ofc! I was just updating the first post while waiting for the other co so that they wouldn't have to scroll through a bunch of posts to catch up lol, but now that the team is complete I'll make new ones.

YES I would love to be siblings with Myth!! Funny story I was actually going to suggest that we offer to them cause I thought it'd be a great pairing so this is perfect XD

name
I'm good with it! I think it sounds kinda pretty and inviting–like come camper with us y'all it's the fantasy haven!! <3

symbols
I LOVE that divider, it's really got a fantasy vibe to it.
Ooh you're right it does look like scales, and the cloud is nice too. I'm honestly fine with either one haha, maybe we could say the cloud is first pick (if someone hasn't claimed for their cabin by the time we claim it) and the scales are second pick? Or the other way around lol, whichever you guys prefer.

currency/dragon
Tentative suggestion, but we could still do the gaining traits thing with collectable currency! What if as the dragon hit certain levels, it gained certain capabilities? Everyone would start with a really basic dragon, but the more currency they collected, the more it would level up and the fancier it would be. They could also unlock perks like matching pfps in between some levels (for example, if a dragon leveled up at 50 pieces of currency, the camper could earn a pfp at 25 pieces).
If we do in-cabin currency, what should we call it? “Scales” is an option that fits the theme, but I had another idea–what if the dragons weren't always so basic, but the dark forces stole the dragon's magic, which is what weakened them. I feel like this fits with the idea of collectable currency and leveling up the dragon; as the campers get more of the stolen magic back, the dragons become stronger and regain their true forms. If we went with this idea we could come up with a suitably magic-ish-sounding name lol.

cabin
That's a really neat idea! Maybe we could have in-cabin guild activities, and campers can earn currency by completing them. I think it'd be cool if there were also collaborative activities like in the cabin war challenges sometimes, where you have to work together with someone (in this case, from another guild) to complete the task, even if it's just as simple as exchanging prompts.

Yeah that's a fair point, and as long as the (co)leader has time to transfer the host over to another leader it's fine. It's only if the (co)leader goes inactive without warning or preparation that it might be a problem, and it's relatively easy to fix.

YAY <3 I have a couple suggestions for allies/enemies–what do you guys think of offering to be allies with Magical Realism, Poetry and/or Hi-Fi, and enemies with Paranormal, Dystopian and/or Apocalyptic? These are just suggestions ofc, we can juggle the lists around as much as needed (and some cabins, like Myth, might offer to us instead).

I think an enemy/rival sibling cabin would be really funny! I'm cool with that idea

ChueyTheCat

Also, what do we want for our cabin blurb? That, the symbol, and the basic cabin setup are probably the first things we'll want to decide on, since the blurb and symbol are due on the 28th at the latest and the basic cabin setup is due on October 1st. I've already given my word goal and memory book answer to Robin but I believe that's another thing that's due in a few days. (There's more info in the leader forum here–this is just a basic summary for anyone on the team who hasn't read the original post yet

)

Amethyst-animation

Welcome to the team, Willow

I think we should hyperfocus on the things that are due. So, as for the blurb, I pulled together what the three of us wrote for our atmospheres, here:

Cabin Blurb

Amethyst
A tight-knit cabin with a friendly competitive spirit, where the cabin mates can rely on their leaders and one another.

Chuey
Chaotic, warm, and welcoming, with a focus on personal goals, community, and taking things at your own pace–a place where you can grow and flourish without feeling pressured or rushed.

Willow
fosters a place of growth, friendship and memories - along with a highly interactive storyline, competitiveness and improvement is strongly encouraged!

I'm thinking that we combine them OR select one, then edit it to include our cabin genre and theme. We could write one completely from scratch, though - what do you guys think?

I think I like the combination of:

Chaotic, warm, and welcoming, Fantasy Haven is a tight-knit cabin that fosters amazing memories, where you can hop on your dragon in a highly interactive storyline and take to the skies! (186 characters)

This needs a lot of refining, though. Do you folks want to come up with your own?

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

Symbols
So, Willow, we're torn between two symbols: ❖ or ☁︎

You're more than welcome to suggest your own!

This is what the cabins look like with the two symbols:
Fantasy Haven ☁︎ Nov ‘24
Fantasy Haven ❖ Nov ’24

I'm leaning towards:
Fantasy Haven ☁︎ Nov ‘24

Switching to currency for a second (I swear this is related) OK AND THAT THEY-USED-TO-BE-NOT-SO-BASIC IDEA IS REALLY COOL - i’m not too sure what the magicy thingy would be called, but we could potentially have ❖ as currency? It might not fit that well though.

I had an idea, maybe we could call it soulfire or smthing- but idk whether it has something to do with their soul, so… I'm really lost on this one, sorry xDD

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

Cabin Creation
Chuey, do you mind sending the obscure account to both me and Willow somewhere deep down on our profiles? I think it would be great if we could maybe use that as a place for you to share your art? If that's okay with you, ofc - I'm just thinking about the future.

Since both of you are really good at art, I think we could make a lot of art-related things, if that's okay with you guys? How do you guys feel about drawing dragons and humans specifically?

I think a loose thumbnail and basic description would be a good idea for starting out the cabin. Chuey, since you don't have canva, you don't need to worry about the loose thumbnail, and I think I should start out the basic description as a leader. But there will be chunks of the description that I think need help. How do you think our description should start out? I reckon we should have an introduction compartment in a writing style. I'm hoping that makes sense - if it doesn't let me know!

I'm picturing the island itself having lots of tunnels and little caves whether the dragons are living in, on a cliff-face curled around a cove. I think that it would be pretty large, so there's space on the ground for dragons to rest. Do any of y'all want to draw something like that - preferably there would be little peeks of colour here and there with a somewhat shape of a dragon - but I understand if you guys don't like drawing landscape <3

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

Storyline
I like what you suggested, Chuey: “it started with the campers finding the dragons, after including a snippet about their backstory (how the campers got on the island) in the desc where the storyline starts”

I think your idea of the campers being shipwrecked on the island is a good idea? What if they were running from the dark forces :00 As for the dark forces, I think that the idea of them being evil and corrupted dragons works really well! But we'll have to figure out why they became evil (maybe something classical for fantasy like “they wanted to rule over the continent and the other dragons said naur so they tried to chase ‘em out of the continent and the dragons hid in the island”.

We don’t need our WCGs fully formed yet, but speaking of that - are we all good with the guild idea?

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

Currency
Your idea about hitting levels and capabilities is really smart- I'm more than happy to do that this session! are you two okay with that, or do you have another idea?

Everything else is stuff we definitely need to go over soon, but let's just focus on what's above for now! I don't mind if you drop or talk a little bit about the others, but we should get what's above done and dusted before moving on I think?

ChueyTheCat

cabin blurb
Lol we've been thinking almost exactly on the same lines, I was about to make a post last night collecting all the cabin atmospheres from our app to help with writing the blurb XD (unfortunately I had to get ready for bed before I was done fdjsgahlk). I really like the way you included a bit of all of them, and I think that's a good way to blend the atmospheres. It's also faster than trying to come up with one from scratch, which is good due to the deadline. Anyways, I took your suggestion and made some small tweaks, let me know what y'all think!
the original

Chaotic, warm, and welcoming, Fantasy Haven is a tight-knit cabin that fosters amazing memories, where you can hop on your dragon in a highly interactive storyline and take to the skies! (186 characters)

revised

Chaotic, warm, and welcoming, Fantasy Haven is a tight-knit cabin with a highly interactive storyline. Take to the skies on the back of your dragon, making memories and friends along the way! (191 characters)

I split it up into two sentences and rearranged some things to make it a little easier to read, but I tried to keep the same information/vibe the first one had

symbols
I'm definitely leaning towards the cloud too, so unless Willow has a suggestion/other preference that one's cool with me <3
(once we have the most pressing things decided I'll write my thoughts on the currency haha)

cabin creation
sure thing! will do that asap <33
I've done both dragons and humans before–I've done humans more often, but I'm capable of drawing dragons too.
I can totally draw landscapes! I'm not as good at them, but I'm working to get better and include them more often in my art lol

storyline
YES I LOVE THAT IDEA the evil dragons chasing them is really smart :0 and I'm good with the guild idea!

Amethyst-animation

cabin blurb
OK YOU ARE AMAZING that's so much smoother, thank you <3

symbols
I'm really sorry Willow, but I think that we have to submit our cabin blurb and symbol ASAP, so I'll be submitting what Chuey and I have pulled together. If you have anything you want to change about either of those, let me know and I'll do my best to make it come into effect <3

cabin creation/art
TYSM CHUEY!! if you're all good with drawing the landscape, when do you think you can get it done by? there's absolutely no pressure to rush it, since i can grab an image off the internet as a placeholder for however long we need, but I think it would be a good idea to get our finalised thumbnail by 12 October? That's around two weeks from now, and since I don't know anything about art that might be too short - but I think having the finalised thumbnail by the latest should be 18 October?

Again, I don't know whether this is too demanding so please let me know ahah <3

ChueyTheCat

cabin blurb
aw ty <33 and no problem!! i love editing so if you ever need writing for the cabin to be edited fork it over to me lolol

cabin creation
i actually did a very rough draft of the cove according to your description! let me know if it matches what you were imagining haha https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1074033165
that deadline's cool with me! Also Willow, if you're willing to work on the art as well that'd be awesome, but no pressure! Whatever you decide is fine with me <3

Amethyst-animation

I wish I was joking when I said that I just spent a solid hour trying to get these images to work…. BUT I FINALLY GOT IT FIGURED OUT SO AJISKLDFJALKSDJFOAWUSDFJKL-

Chuey, that concept sketch is LEGENDARY! There's just one revision I'm gonna suggest to you, and that's regarding cabin colours:

(please tell me that works)

What are y'all's opinions on a cabin palette? I think we should get this done with ASAP so that Chuey has something to go off of with her cabin artwork <3

Here's what I thought of. I think it has the bright, kind of magical colours of a fantasy world, whilst also having the muted, natural colours of the dragons hiding. Feel free to send through your own ideas!

Cabin Desc

I wrote (way too much) of a kind of intro for the cabin:

“Wake up, folks! Come on! We have to move, now!”

Waves lap across your heels, urging you to wake. You place your hands stiffly against the mess of wet sand lying beneath you. Sure enough, rotting wood planks lay scattered on the beach around you, confirming your fragmented memories – you’re shipwrecked.

The voice belongs to Amethyst, your captain, who was leading your crew across the ocean to escape from the continent. At least, they’d been trying to – before the storm had set in. You quickly stand, dusting off the sand from your clothes.

Amethyst nods to Chuey, her second, who clears her throat. “Amethyst, Willow and I all went off to explore this island. It’s uncharted – I can guarantee that. But that’s not as important as what we found. Take a look around.”

You’re surrounded by towering, limestone cliffs, bioluminescent jubuglows growing alongside the bright stone. Undergrowth of vibrant plants you don’t recognise spring from the sandy beach, making it hard to see anything beyond the wreckage of your ship and the rest of your crew. Amethyst leads your crew over towards a particularly dense part of the foliage, and gestures towards Willow, who pulls back a section of the plants.

Shock ripples amongst the group as your gaze falls upon a cluster of sleeping dragons. Normal dragons are supposed to be long gone, driven to extinction by the same, corrupted dragons that have chased you out of the continent. But these dragons… they’re injured.

“Listen closely, crew,” Willow says. “You each select a dragon to tame and nurse back to health. We’ll need all the help we can get to take back our continent.”

We need to compress this as much as possible, or start anew. I really didn't know where to start, so I just pulled together random ideas and whacked them all down. I don't mind if you guys want to do something completely different!

Additionally, we'll need to decide our roles for the cabin storyline. As I'm the leader, I though it might make more sense if I'm the captain? I put you as the second, Chuey, because I needed a placeholder. We could ourselves something completely different.

Also, our storyline could be something completely different. The campers could be shipwrecked and the three of us could maybe be residents of the island who were waiting for someone to come? Again, what do you guys think?

Also, I sent you all invites to a studio called “HMMM WHAT COULD THIS BE”, if you could join I'd appreciate that ^^

Hey guys! So excited to be here, and to work with you both!
I’m just catching up on everything that I’ve missed, and then I can’t wait to actually start planning with you both <3

I don’t have access to a computer at this moment, but once I can get to one I’ll respond to everything, going with what you both have already decided is absolutely fine for me! It all looks amazing <3 I am good to do art stuff as well, just maybe not of dragons

ChueyTheCat

(apologies for the the atrocious lack of capitalization and punctuation pfft i was lazy)
Yay!! welcome to the chaos Willow <3
It looks like everyone's good with the blurb and symbol so hooray! All we need to do now is submit them and we're good to go

colors
WHOA I LOVE THAT PALETTE im like drooling over it rn i cannot WAIT to incorporate it into my art :starstruck: (also congrats on figuring out how the image uploading works!)

cabin desc
eee im so excited ive been looking forward to this the whole time ahaha <33 anyways i think both ideas could be really cool, and i love the desc draft you came up with!! speaking of which, i have a question–will we be updating the desc with each storyline update, or just keeping the original for the entirety of the session and updating the storyline in other ways?

roles
honestly i'm cool with any role! stick me wherever

ChueyTheCat

updated art in here! same place as before, i wasn't too sure about the tree so tell me which version you like better (tree or no tree) as well as your general opinion lol https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1074033165

sorry to keep making so many posts XD but bi-fi claimed the cloud for their symbol, do we want to go with the scales instead ig? no one else has claimed those yet and i believe we're the last cabin to submit so anything but the ones that are already claimed is fair game

Amethyst-animation

Hi Willow!! No problem - do you know about how much more time it'll be until you can get a laptop?

OH asdlfkadklfja </3 I'm so sorry for not having submitted yesterday, I should've realised another cabin might've claimed the same symbol as us ^^

Art
CHUEY YOU ARE LITERALLY SO *chefs kiss* this is amazing!! let me test it out with some text to see which version might work better

Cabin Description
Yeah! I'm picturing that we have a new description every time we update the storyline.

We could also update weekly, if that makes sense? so the first week is just then discovering the dragon, the second is the whole cabin going dragon flying for some reason (and discovering something that :sparkles: changes the whole story :sparkles: or smthing dramatic), the third is them planning the counterattack, the fourth them actually going after the evil dragons etc. etc.

Amethyst-animation

I am in literally. Freaking awe. Right now.

CHUEY YOUR ART WORKS SO WELL AS A THUMBNAIL ADKSLFJALKJFAKLF—

I pulled together some font-logo-ideas. We can obviously shift around and change some features - Willow, I'll send you the link to the canva once you get access to a laptop - about, well, anything. But I am awestruck with how good your art looks, Chuey— KDJFALSKDFJAL–

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

When I say “option” I mean more or less “style”. Also these images are really pixelated and I don't know why lol-

These aren't final or anything, just a rough draft ^^

Which one is you guys' favourite?

cceaneyes

I have access to a computer now! So i'm all good to start with whatever needs to be done <33

We could have like two of us be on the ship with them, and one of us as a resident? It might add another level to the storyline, in a way that the resident introduces them to dragons and all?

I pulled together some font-logo-ideas. We can obviously shift around and change some features - Willow, I'll send you the link to the canva once you get access to a laptop - about, well, anything. But I am awestruck with how good your art looks, Chuey— KDJFALSKDFJAL–

I love them! I'll have a look on canva once i get the link <33 Right now I like the ones with black text, the readability is so much better <3. Amazing art too Chuey!

Let me know if I missed anything <33 Everything looks amazing so far!

OH asdlfkadklfja </3 I'm so sorry for not having submitted yesterday, I should've realised another cabin might've claimed the same symbol as us ^^

It's alr! honestly I'm proud of the team for getting everything pulled together so quickly with so few hitches

nice work everyone <3

art
I'm so glad y'all like the art!! I was really happy with the result

For the thumb, I'm leaning towards B and D. I feel like the black shows up nicely against the colors, like Willow said. I'm also warming to the tree, since I think it ties the rest of the palette in nicely, but I'd like to go back and refine it a bit if we decide to keep it since it's a tad lopsided lol. I can also make the quality a bit better once I have the final version of the art done, that might help with pixelation.

cabin desc
Yeah, that desc updating plan sounds good! Changing the thumb might be fun too–it depends on whether the plot we decide on lends itself well to thumb changes haha.
