To celebrate Timecrest’s 6th anniversary, our community put together an incredible magazine with both a layout with images as well as a text only version. Check it out here, and read our response below!
To our amazing community...
We love Alyncia Magazine and we’re totally floored at the level of care, craft, and detail that you have all put into this. This is absolutely amazing and it took us a while to respond because… frankly… we were at a loss for words.
When we started on this journey to tell our story, all we knew is that we cared deeply about connection. The two of us working on Timecrest shared a deep and creative connection. We wanted to form a deep connection between you and Ash. Between Timecrests and Counterparts. Writing is a scary process and sometimes you wonder if anyone would feel what we feel when we imagine this world and these characters. When we think of our favorite stories whether in games, tv series, movies, anime, or manga, we’re the ones who love to cosplay and go to conventions and check out the artist alley and immerse ourselves in the community. So it was a dream to see you all grow the Timecrest community. Indeed, with Alyncia Magazine, we’re starting to feel this connection with you, our community.
We literally could write a book on everything we loved in the magazine, but totally random call outs:
All of the backgrounds in the fan messages, especially the starry background with greeny!
Cai’s Choices drawing … we are shook
Creating a text version of the magazine! We love that the community cares about accessibility as much as we do.
All the data and stats and questions you asked! Thanks for doing a round of user research for us!
Pink’s renditions of Ezra, capturing that emotion!
Rocco’s beautiful piano cover of Scarlet’s theme!
Loved that Tarja and Braille Bennett were as big fans of The Chowmein Cow restaurant as we were.
LazuliQuetzal’s great Petora and Portia renditions, two characters that don’t get as much attention.
