- April 2026 Progress and Plan
It has been more than one year since last progress report. Due to real world businesses and various Free and Open Source related tasks, there wasn’t enough time for me to work on my own projects. I want to tie up some loose ends on the FOSS side before focusing on my own stuff.
Free and Open Source Tasks
- [Done, Unreleased] Some FOSS mascot
- [Done, Released] YueScript mascot
- [Done, Released] Krita 5.3.0 / 6.0.0 splash
- [Done, Released] Krita 5.3.0 / 6.0.0 app and documents S-Chinese translations
- [Done, Unreleased] KDE 30th anniversary mascot logo
- [Pending] KDE mascot wallpaper
- [Pending] KDE mascot reference sheet and additional clip arts
- [Pending] Krita mascot reference sheet and additional clip arts
- [Pending] Some FOSS mascot
KDE Plasma has no mascot wallpaper created by me, I want to provide one that’s more on model of the current design. KDE and Krita mascots lacks proper reference sheet and reusable clip arts, I want to provide a set. Aiming for the end of August 2026.
Original Project Tasks
Electric Hearts and Spirit Animals in Disguise lore rewrites:
- [Pending] International Space Cooperation and United Nation related entries
- Reassess the relationship between each major player and the United Nations in light of the international situation in 2026.
- [Pending] Geocity
- Reassess whether only one Geocity is allowed to remain operational.
- [Pending] Snow Bandits
- Change it to Snow People, and no longer define this group by their act of theft.
- [Pending] Octopus.Org
- Rewrite the comically villainous organization to a more realistic one.
- [Pending] Class 3 and related entries
- In response to the new regulations of the Ministry of Education, the “experimental classes” have been abolished to ensure educational equity.
These adjustments are crucial to the creative direction of the two projects, so they must be resolved in advance. Aiming for the end of April 2026. During the rewriting process, there may be inconsistencies between contents.

ABOUT
I’m Tyson Tan (Tan is my last name), a self-taught artist active since 1999. I like using animal and robotic elements in my designs. Drawing is currently just my hobby. As a volunteer, I’ve designed mascots and provided Chinese translations for Free and Open Source projects like Krita and KDE.
