I'm glad!! =D 💜 I tried my best to group characters with their connections and family to the best of my ability! X) I hope it adds an extra level of enjoyment for people looking for the little details!

Over 1000 pieces!? That's truly massive. It's fun zooming in to see all the characters from different artists, some with the familiar artstyle that I can recognize 👀💜

Yeah!! =D We managed to breach the 1000 barrier! That includes the animals and the quilt patches in the background. =) There's 933 individual characters if you don't include the background! I'm glad it's fun to view as well, I think the viewer really helps! X) Thank-you, Crimson!! =D

I'm glad it's useful! =D It was the only way I could do it because the final image is SO large and SO huge, even as a jpg, it wasn't loading on phones XD This way, everybody can enjoy it up close =) I feel like somebody is bound to eventually!!

@lichiichi.bsky.social

Absolutely! 🤧 I'm real happy that the entire cast got covered as its not easy feat! Everyone did a wonderful job in claiming their characters, I loved how artists drew the character and a lot of times I'd suddenly like the character more bc of the personal love/touch on them 💖 D'AW Dex, likewise!🥹

Thank-you so much, Skip! =D 💜 I wanted a way for the achievements and the art to be remembered and appreciated, even after the collab ended... so the participants list happened! =D The games list was made possible by us managing to complete everything, which I didn't expect!!
