After weeks of teasing, I'm very excited to officially show you all:
Gameplay of Calico Wilder!
I've been working with @waveparadigm.com, @littlenorwegians.bsky.social, and some friends to build the first of Calico's adventures, and I'm super thrilled with how it's coming along!

From today's stream, I worked on avoiding same-face syndrome!
The Sherbornes are a family of feline manu with varying psychic abilities. Not all are welcomed in, many are kicked out for not keeping up. Such is the way of progress, such is the way of the House.

Just so you're all in the know, I am currently planning on doing a YouTube livestream this upcoming Friday for my birthday.
What'll I be streaming for it? Well, you'll just have to wait and see.
(This is my cryptic way of saying "I don't know yet". XD)

Not to plan too far ahead (gotta get the 3D platformer done first and foremost), but I definitely wanna do a Calico kart racer game at some point down the road.
And yes I would call it CaliKart.

We at TwoPeaks are trying to make a fun Kart Racer where players can be a bit more creative and expressful.
Here's an early blockout of a level I am currently working on.

Companies are really out here trying to find *any* way to force GenAI into their products.
Sony has patented the idea of AI-generated podcasts hosted by characters from its games.
The idea would see players getting their own bespoke podcasts on their console, telling them what's new, hosted by the characters of the games they've been playing.

If you ever feel bad about being too on-the-nose with your creative work's inspirations, just remember that Sonic 2 introduced Super Saiyan Sonic and an Eggman-themed Death Star called the Death Egg.
