You found my profile!
Hey! I'm Ephemeral. I'm the lead artist at Amusement Studios. I'm responsible for most everything, from character designs to UI. Some of my bug friends help me out sometimes.

Despite making furry games, I don't consider myself a furry (unless you want to consider a bug-robot-skeleton-eyeball-chimera-thing to be a "fursona", in which case, sure) but I don't mind working with the community. Y'all are nice! I don't have much of a social media because I rarely post anything I make anywhere.

"You call yourself a robot. Are you an AI?"
♥♥♥♥ no. Nothing's artificial or intelligent about me! All this is 100% neuro-divergence.

"I like the way you anthropomorphize bugs. Can I make my own?"
Sure. I don't care. Do whatever you want with my art, just don't make it boring.

"What are those bug guys called? What's "Trouble in Paradise"?"
They're a species called "bugfolk". They're from a dark-surreal series I work on called Trouble In Paradise . There's a few references scattered throughout both Bliss Valley games. Besides the obvious bug elements, they're largely made of a material similar to bone and metal; on the inside they look like robots (with magic instead of electricity). I don't feel the need to go on and on about their lore at length- I find worldbuilding fun, so they have a lot of lore

"Since they're in Bliss Valley, are you going to make Adult-Only content of bugfolk?"
The public isn't ready for it.

"Is Bliss Valley canon to Trouble in Paradise ?"
No. That would be funny, though. You could argue the reverse if you wanted, but the "canon" of Bliss Valley is kind of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of whatever we think is cool. It doesn't need to make sense, it's a furry goon game. That's part of the appeal.

"Where can I read/watch/consume/hate on Trouble In Paradise? "
In all honesty I probably won't publish it, but if I do, it'll probably be on the Internet Archive or Comic Fury, and I might throw a link out there somewhere.
