Hello fellow netizens!

Sorry that this one is a little bit late! Had a busy week. Working on some bigger projects :)

the creature

Last week's video! Go check it out →

If you don't already know, this creature's name is Joern. His full name is Joernathan Larry Bean. He was created and named live on stream, and my viewers voted for his name.

Just made this short and silly one last week since I've been working on something bigger. So this week will be more chill with content and streaming, since I want to continue working on this. I may not stream this week!

Look forward to a neat video coming (hopefully) soon :)

Minecraft & Twitch Integration

I made a custom Minecraft modpack that I stream live on Twitch, and made some neat integrations for my chat to enjoy!

You can check out the VODs on my Twitch channel, or you can see the more edited VODs on my second YouTube channel!

Here's the list:

• Follow: Spawns a duck with your name! I will try to keep it alive, but no promises.

• Subscribe: Gives me a Minecraft head with your Twitch name. I will put these on pedestals in a museum :)

• Donate $1+ / Cheer 100+: Gives me a book with your message in it that can't be copied (Tattered Book from Supplementaries). This makes it a completely unique book in that world! I'll make a library with these. Be sure to put in a message to be included!

• Raid: Sends a MASSIVE title to the screen, so that everyone knows you've raided!

• Highlight Your Message: Your message also gets sent to the in-game chat! People like to use this to pretend they're in the server (even though it is in fact singleplayer).

And of course some custom redeems:

• Send a letter: Send a written book with your very own message, maximum 255 characters. This will appear in my inventory, and I may put it in the library!

• Send a gift: Send a gift with a short message and a random, non-intrusive item. This item is usually something like candy, but can also be a poisonous potato, squid tentacles... or nothing.

• Make a creeper sound: Do a mean prank because you're mean. This makes a false creeper sound in-game, meaning it can appear behind me. It's kinda funny.

• Spawn a duck: My followers got jealous that you could not spawn your own duck. Some people made alt-accounts (which I banned), some un-followed and re-followed (which I look down upon), so I made it a redeem before they eventually riot. You can spawn one duck per Minecraft stream!

Website Updates

I did a couple minor updates to spice up the site.

Cursor

I updated the cursor so now it has a special sprite. It looks like a hand pointing with its finger! And when you click with it, it'll make a lil clicking noise and move the finger.

Unfortunately I can't get an example at the moment, so go test it out yourself at justanoval.com!

Twitch Icon

I added a Twitch icon to my sidebar of icons! I did unfortunately replace the Spotify link with it, but that should be fine given that, most of the time, that's something people seek out.

Merchandise Updates

My merchandise samples just came in, and they look great! Only the mono sharks with legs zip-up hoodie looks a bit odd, so I'll have to make some edits and re-order that one.

All other merchandise should be out quite soon!

You can sign up for updates at justanoval.store if you'd like :)

What's Coming

• I am working on the animation to my next experimental song. This will be a full-length single, and will be released on all platforms. I just finished up the brainstorming process of the animation, and now I'm ready to get started. So, this week will be a bit lacking for other content in the mean time.

• I've gotten back into the swing of writing stories, and hope to publish one to my site soon. We'll see when that happens :P

Something Inspiring

Ah, the original Xbox UI. I'm honestly thinking of making something similar to this for a custom stream overlay, since all of my scenes are unique to each other.

Consider becoming a member if you'd like to support me! You get to see sneak peeks, brainstorming, behind-the-scenes, scrapped projects, secret evil plans to take over the world—really just anything I don't want to blast out to the public!

See you next week!
