Since Dead End: Paranormal Park is hot topic today, time to bust out some old fan art;

I acknowledge the game was intended for a younger audience than someone in their 30s like me lol. But between the gameplay and the writing, I felt confused actually gauging their audience. And Normal Mode was strangely punishing with one-hit Game Over-ing constantly...

So for the past few months Ive been slogging through playing World's End Club on my Switch offstream.

Just beat it tonight. Plot got a little more interesting, and the art was cute, but man the gameplay, writing, and story beats were... not.. good..

Screenshots attached to show what I mean. 😅

Just watched the animated Homestuck pilot. I only ever experienced HS by catching the occasional post on Tumblr (and I never got into it myself) and I gotta say the pilot was neat, if a little confusing.

Solid animation as to be expected from Spindelhorse and Vivzie. I'd be interested in more eps!

I do miss the OG designs very much. 💔 But I understand how they want to make it match better with Saito's style. Just a shame about the white washing with the color palette. 🥲
