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! ^^

Guess I'll take the opportunity to confirm, the Calico Wilder project does not and will not use AI.
This adventurous scrimblo was 100% human-made.

Imma be real, there's something really funny about seeing the T for Teen logo over an official upload of Mario 1 footage.

He's also not alone!
Calico has a girlfriend named Lilly Regnalia, who's also his adventuring teammate. She's more cautious than Calico is, but she shares his heart and enthusiasm.
The only thing these two love more than adventuring though, is each other. ^^

Got some new followers from the sneak peek, so I wanna take the opportunity to reintroduce the game's protagonist.
This is Calico Wilder!
He's a gold-hearted adventurer and a bit of a careless thrill-seeker, whose pendant allows him to summon his energy sword.

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!

Inspired by a conversation I had today about how messy the character select screens of Super 4 and Smash Ultimate kind of are, I decided to shuffle the characters around a bit.

This isn't the only game I've experienced this with either, this has happened a bunch throughout the year for me.
Double Fine's new game came out nearly two weeks ago already, and I had no idea it was out until just a couple days ago.

I just saw this on my Steam page, and it's made me realize something:
Maybe it's just because of how much I've curated my feeds towards indie stuff, but so many AAA games nowadays feel like they just kinda come out very suddenly.
Like I've seen *nothing* about Outer Worlds 2 in months up until now.
