THANK YOU FOR DRAWING HIMMM I'M GONNA PUT HIM ON A TINY SHELF FOR TINY WONDERFUL FISH
JDBDJDFNFK THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I'm really happy to hear that you like them :D
Also the compliment is very appreciated and is not weird at all,,,, I like taking other people's little guys and seeing how they would look in my art style, and Esteban's design gnaws at my brain from time to time
Post second explosion the location had to be built anew, and from there new jobs have appeared. These jobs being: delvers, extractors, poachers and overseers. Delvers are the majority of new hires, focusing on repairing the infrastructure, material management and assembly
Syren corp is an energy provider and maintains the power plant oyster. They mainly operate in east asia and west america, the oyster being located in the pacific ocean.
My thoughts as someone who has been fixated on Pressure for the last two years + even did official art.
For those of you like me who need to move on but are scared to because the media is close to you.

Hi. Since this is going in the pressure tag, I might as well introduce myself. I’m Cotgar, the artist of the Gotchapon birthday artwork and the most recent Sebastian Solace reference sheet. I’ve been fixated on Pressure since October 2024, even committing personal things to it such as cosplay, merchandise, personal poster works, and two years of fan art.
My statements here assume you know the bare minimum of what happened: Zeal sexually assaulted the previous soundtrack musician, Ren.

I want to approach this as a community member first and foremost.
My take? The game’s done. I personally wish to see no more support for it, as although the main focus of the document is Zeal, Ren mentions cruel involvement from the dev team and their blatant coverups of Zeals actions, painting Ren as “unstable”. I have promptly left the discords, which I encourage you to do as well.
As for what to do mentally? That’s the hard part as someone who’s been so invested in the lore, story, gameplay, and every other aspect of the game. I literally doodled gotchapon this morning all over my work papers. But as someone who doesn’t wish to support the game anymore, I really find it hard to just cut that off. I am not defending the devs in any way by saying that. I am coming purely from a hyperfixation standpoint where my blorbos are jingling around in my brain.
I would like to say: you will not be incriminated to still love the characters for who they were before this point. I will still forever adore the characters I’ve grown to love. But not the ones who wrote them. Anything with them beyond this point in time is considered Not the characters I’ve surrounded myself with. With losing your sense of humanity as a person and involving yourself in disgusting shit like that, I believe that you lose the right to keep people “doing what You want with their characters”. AKA. If I were to still draw Sebastian, let’s say, I could with no connection to the writers. I will not draw him with his wedding ring, for instance. He does not deserve to be “married” to a dev self insert. It’s not the self insert that’s the problem, mind you. It’s the dev.
I suggest now is the time to maybe review that list of shows you’ve been dying to watch. Check out those games that maybe, if you’re like me, you’ve been scared to play because of fear that it’ll take over the hyperfixation.
Move away.

My connection and statement as *technically* an artist for the game:
I am horrified. One of the most prevalent things in Ren’s document was the use of cute animal imagery to lull Ren into a sense of security. (From my experience), Kat and Zerum do the same thing. It is unbeknownst to me if it was manipulative. That is not my point. My point is that it’s real language used in the dev team, and it does not surprise me it’s being used maliciously. I am more so scared because I began picking up this habit because people I thought were “cool” were using it as fun conversation. I am impressionable. I began picking it up. Ren’s document showed this to me and I suddenly felt my gut drop.
I will be brief. I have past experience of mental abuse and manipulation. Reading Ren’s document was familiar to me. Not to such a sexual extent, but in a manipulation extent. Seeing the bunny imagery sickened me, as it made me realize that trauma flares that I had worked years and years in therapy to get rid of were now validated: I don’t know whether to trust the devs that were smiling and being so polite to me.
I will not work with Pressure anymore. End of story.

You are allowed to still like the characters. The lore. The story. But supporting it is different, and I am ashamed that I have for this long. Am I sad that I probably can’t post any more drawings of the silly fish being sad? Oh fuck yeah. That dude fucking rocks.
But this is not about me. To fellow people who feel sad about it too, this is not about you.
This is about being a fucking human being

I await to see what the devs say to try and damage control.
Given that I've now engaged several times with the community, shared artwork and even financially contributed to Pressure, I feel a responsibility to put out a statement of any kind.
Renn, what happened to you was unforgivable. There's been a lot of stuff about the devs that have for a long time gone ignored because of the smear campaign against you and against anyone who tries to speak up about the bizarre relationship the Pressure team has with the community. You deserve your moment to be heard. You are believed. You deserve the best.
Please refrain from financially supporting the project as it puts money in the pockets of harmful people who have done everything they can to victimize themselves continually. As well as that, please don't bother Gianni about this situation, as he has done the right thing and removed himself from the game and situation in support of Renn.
They are not children, they're grown fucking people. They own a profitable IP. Don't hit me with that 'the brain finishes developing at 25' bullshit. That doesn't excuse discrediting a victim and protecting a rapist.
I've had quite enough of people defending the immaturity of the Pressure team.
