Guess what I got to see tonight, at this time of year, in this part of the country? (Southern Illinois.)
The images are brighter than it appeared, but I could even see it with my own eyes! Up until the last image; I couldn't see the red by then.

I randomly stumbled upon a #skunk avatar in #VRchat. I think it's a mod of the Rexouium avatar? One of its fur options was a spotted skunk, which was super cool since I used to be one! It was so nice to finally look over the splotches on my body, and curl my tail around me & rest it on my head.

Recently in VR Chat, I visited a place called *takes a breath*...
"When you are forced to visit your rich Dwarven Uncle's House when he is out of town because he forgot to feed his dog."
It was kinda awe-inspiring to be in a place like this. But sadly, there was no dog.

My #Christmas haul.
The #pig plush and inflatable were fun surprises not on my list.
I did want a shirt to happily proclaim OINK! ^🐽^
I only asked for one game, and Thousand-Year Door was it.
Tails is my fave Sonic character.
I liked the 80s TMNT cartoon, but never the action figures.

Just wandering around Second Life, found a mall with an artisan store displaying various objects, one of which is a flying #pig. I can appreciate that, for obvious reason.

I know I'm getting into Donkey Kong territory, but I now have a rolling barrel in RPG Maker 2. Yet RM2's barrels normally stand upright, motionless. So I made this barrel rapidly lay on its front & back to give the illusion of rolling.
This has a few potential uses.

Plan B would be to nix the transparent walls and shorten them, and place the shadows in a way they won't be glitchy. No glitches to hide means I can have full 360° camera control, important in a 3D Platformer (plus RPG).
Not sure which method would be better.

Maybe I'll allow the back wall to cast a shadow, and prevent the player from moving the camera behind it. But I can't have any platforms touch the side walls, or they leave a glitchy shadow on them.
I also added camera control to see furthur ahead or below you.

RPG Maker 2 allows making walls transparent on the outside, but walls that cast shadows HIDE shadows when the camera's behind 'em. I can move shadows in the editor (the method's convoluted), but even pointing 'em down has issues.
Gotta figure how to design around this.

Opening gameplay!
...Well, not really, but I needed to allow the player to turn on rumble.
Also got a makeshift button display. RPG Maker 2 has ⚪ and ■ text icons, but no ▲. =(
And yes, you can be nameless. Because as the shadow in "Cassandra and the Shadow", you are nameless.

Behind the scenes. The vines are shrunken stalks, flipped over. The hitboxes are unaffected, but they're low-hanging by default.
Climbing causes (normally-invisible) pyramids to surround the player, interactive by "walking" up/down, solid so the player can't walk off the vines.

More RPG Maker 2, now with working vines! Had a hard time getting this to work. Some objects can't be triggered like this, and it was hard making sure the player didn't walk off the vines. The climbing was easy. The above platforms aren't solid. The snappy grab is satisfying!

I might be the first to figure out how to make a rising platform work in real time in RPG Maker 2. This would normally require a cutscene, or else the platform would rise through or drop under the player, leaving the player just hovering in place.
But no cutscene here! ^🐽^

Annoyingly, RPG Maker 2 has a bit of a text limit for character names. Cassandra gets shortened to "Cassandr" in various menus, including in battle. I really don't want to change her name, so either I'll leave it be, or give her a nickname in menus. Maybe "Cass" or "Cassie".

While I usually prefer the 2D sprites of past #Pokemon games (especially Black & White), I think this generation really helped bring the 3D models to life. Like #Machop never really appealed to me 'til I had 'em hanging around me. They're actually really cute!

I just found out that a lot of #Nidoran art has been posted here over the past several months, and it makes me happy to see the poisonbunnies get attention outside Twitter. They are my favorite #Pokemon! I even have one as a #Pokesona!

#YouTube has a new option when uploading videos, asking things like whether a real person's dialogue has been altered, or whether realistic footage has been faked. The question can be ignored right now, but I can see it becoming required someday.

We've barely had much #snow in the past two years.
I was not missing this opportunity!
(As an aside, it is easier to make a snow angel when you don't have dragon wings.)

I have a new #pig endslate at YouTube!
This was done by Miwa Rains: www.furaffinity.net/user/miwa.ra...
I would like to once again thank her for her patience, as I didn't have a clear vision of how I wanted this to look outside of "I still have my Game Boy." Such beautiful art!
