I had the joy of voicing Frank Mangum and the ICE99 Leader in this wonderful thing. Huge thanks to @venicello.bsky.social and the folks at @catbirdsoft.net for having me on, and to @taschritter.bsky.social for her stupid fun voice direction.

Consider wishlisting this game on steam if you haven't already! I got to act in it, and it has been a pleasure to work with Catbirdsoft and their team.

It was such a blast and privilege to draw the portraits for this! So here's Genevieve and Cass hanging out with Devi because I think it's very fun that Thunderstryke and Steel Carnelian BOTH have pilots from New Jersey.

Now that the 'combat' part of the pilot is done, we're finishing up cutscenes. I finally got around to setting up MML-style pixel-art expression changes for this one!

Here's our weekend Steel Carnelian post - on Sunday instead of Saturday this time so we could let the Splatter fundraiser breathe. It's a longer look at the final boss of the pilot episode.
