We're also working on our prototype point-and-click adventure Itemagically! We'll be starting a few new exciting projects based on it, including an Egg Salad mystery adventure! We're really excited to be going this direction with our #indieGameDev stuff!

On the other hand, our vague plan for #Pikapp (our GnuImp rename) is to work on it slowly over the next year or two, since the crowdfunding didn't work out. It'll take longer but we'll do it between other things.

Lots of folks have wanted at least a rebrand of GnuIMP & 2 years ago we decided to make just that! Y’all funded us creating a tool to rebrand gnu imp + a whole rebrand, called

Hey! Remember when y'all funded the first versions of heckimp and PIKA? That was awesome and now we're back with part 2!

Fundraise the project! https://chuffed.org/project/157315

Once funded, we'll be updating heckimp and PIKA with the gnuIMP 3.0 update, as well as making Linux and Windows packages so PIKApp will be easy for everyone to install!

PIKApp / Heckimp Status

Heckimp is a tool for creating and maintaining forks of the Gnu Image Manipulation Program.

  PIKApp is our fork of GnuImp created with HeckImp.

Status:
- We have working PIKApp builds on Linux that we Aldercones use
- Heckimp needs to be updated for latest changes in upstream.
- We can share our builds and help build other forks.
- fundraising part 2: https://chuffed.org/project/157315-fund-aldercone-collectives-heckimp-and-pikapp-projects

Hopefully by the end of this month we'll have #PIKApp based on GnuImp in the 2.10 series and builds for Windows and Linux, if the champion migraine season backs off a little  

Should be straight forward to tweak #heckimp to work with the codebase and make a branding package for this series. We'd been previously working on PikAPP from the 2.99/3.0 development codebase, which is our main target but getting something to everyone sooner is our current priority!
