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!

I've had a couple people ask for clarification on what Calico and Lilly are like as characters (which you know what, fair point XD).

So with that said, here's some character bios I previously wrote up for them!
(Lilly's bio can be found in the replies.)

By the way, if you want to financially support development of Calico Wilder, I have a Ko-Fi account you can donate to.

If you can't / don't want to though, that's no problem! Just wanted to let you all know the option's there. ^^

In honor of Sonic Rush's 20th anniversary, we dug into the archives and found some original concept art of Blaze the Cat! Enjoy!

You know what, I'm feeling inspired.

What kinda art-piece scenarios with Calico and Lilly would you all like to potentially see?
Whether it be something cool, cute, adventurous, casual; I'm open to suggestions! ^^

I think this is where I'm currently landing for my Games of the Year atm. Subject to change and there's a few games here that I need to play more of (or at all, thanks Prime 4). But this seems to be how it's shaking out atm. Prime 4 will probably end up in the Top 10 once it comes out but who knows.

Very excited to share that, thanks to the ever-so-talented @littlenorwegians.bsky.social,

Calico's girlfriend Lilly Regnalia now has a 3D model too! ^^

This is just going to drive more people to making original media and away from major companies like Disney.

Between the nonstop sequels and live-action remakes no one asked for, it’s hard not to see it as a nonstop IP slop factory… ESPECIALLY with AI onboard.
Bob Iger says Disney+ will soon have AI-generated short form content from users
