Do not worry, I think your worldbuilding is really fascinating and I would love to see more of it-- especially the conlanging stuff.

I totally understand what you mean about conlanging being a lonely hobby-- it's extremely niche, so it's very hard to talk about unless the other party is actively interested.
I myself do it at a snails pace-- most of my ideas for conlangs are mostly the history or vague blueprints of what I imagine the language to be like. Researching lingustics and conlangs on my own is very fun, but it only really happens in sporadic bursts. Not having many peers as interested in it as I am certainly adds to it.
I'll continue to follow along your posts, seeing other people's worldbuilding projects greatly inspires me and fills me with joy :-)

@chimericalGallimaufry If you want other conlangers to talk to I'd recommend making an account on the CBB forum
It might be the most active conlanging and conworlding community outside of the big social media platforms. I'm also encouraging @The_Jackal to do the same for worldbuilding. Finding a conlanging community after being a lone scrapper for 25 years is what finally got me to stick with a language long enough to flesh out a grammar, that and embracing xenolangs and getting away from the human vocal tract.
I have a capsule I'm not doing anything with. Perhaps one day I could carve out a space for conlanging and worldbuilding in geminispace.
If you're interested I also posted some stories set in this universe here in the sci-fi subspace. Though keep in mind I'm no writer.
Thank you for the reccomendation! I'll definitely check it out, same for your short stories.
I would also be interested in what you do with the capsule, if you ever decide to do something with it.
(Also, apologizes for changing my UN right about the same time you replied- I wanted something a bit shorter and concise, haha.)
Original Post
The last of my pixel art and then I promise I'll shut up. — I have lots of other stuff that isn't pixel art. I do a lot in Blender in particular. I don't do perspective and lack the hand-eye coordination to be a proficient artist. Everything here was done with a mouse and took ages. That's it. Sorry for info-dumping all over everyone's feed. Conlanging and conworlding can be a profoundly lonely hobby. You don't have to be a musician to enjoy a song or a chef to appreciate a good meal, but...
