"Hollowframe - Stalker", January 2025

Illustration of Stalker from Warframe in the styles and themes of Hollow Knight.

For his design, I was inspired by the Pure Vessel and Pale King from Hollow Knight while making references to the Jade Shadows quest in Warframe.

"Minn, The Found", January 2025

Illustration of a void angel cervulite originally designed by Pyrah as a gift to her, based on concepts from Warframe.

"A vision of the future. A reflection of the past.", April 2024

2nd place winner of the Warframe 11th Anniversary Contest.

A card-styled illustration of Arthur and Excalibur from Warframe mirrored from each other. Both of them are in the same pose, holding glowing swords vertically (Arthur wielding his signature blade and Excalibur with a Skana). Arthur sits in the top left upon a tangle of infested flesh, while Excalibur sits in the bottom right upon a void-warped mass.

Of course the bigger thing is that we've raised over $250CAD so far for the fight against cancer, which is huge! I'm extremely grateful to all of a sudden be in a position where I can help in any way like this. Just wild.

Now that the scheduled QTCC stream is done and went as well as it did, it's crazy to think I have livestreaming under my belt too now. Can't say I even had the physical hardware capability for that like a month ago lol. And now I have over 250 followers on Twitch. Wild wild wild.

(...doesn't mean i can't have a midnight crash out at the finish line lmaooooooo)

to me act 2 was the main meat of the game, and act 3 is like true ending bonus rather than trying to be just as big as the previous acts, which i'm cool with. there wasn't any promise that each act would be the same size, and what they do with act 3 is still insanely cool so far for me

UpsideDownSmore @upsidedownsmore.bsky.social · 4h

which is ultimately a skill issue on my part, in it for the completionist goodies and when that runs out cry over the stuff that's actually challenging lollll. wish i could be more resilient about boss/encounter grinds but it makes my brain want to eat itselfffff

UpsideDownSmore @upsidedownsmore.bsky.social · 4h

i kinda agree, though act 3 is still really really damn cool. i wasn't really expecting many more areas anyways so i'm not like disappointed in that regard, really my woes are just a kind of unavoidable result of this kind of game where the exploration ends and all that's left is the hard stuff lol

Song of Growth is now available on streaming and YouTube! Keith Power’s son, James, sings the lead boy’s vocal. Fun fact: this is the demo take when James had a bit of a cold. It worked so well and had so much emotion that we kept it for the final!

these final fights and areas are cool af and incredible in many ways, but it's hard to say i'm not a bit more demotivated to pick up the game when my favorite explorative bits are pretty much over. ah well
