Hey Bluesky!
Just in case you’ve noticed a change in this account I’m changing the ShoNiMals account to become the SL Black Studios account.
I’ve been working on some smaller projects I want to share and the title SL Black Studios will be more reflective of that.

In between taking my daughter to see the Gabby’s Doll House movie and other kids’ activities, I’ve been designing up some opponent Streamers (name tbd) for the test level.
What should her and her bebe crow’s name be?

Loona is now in the game! Going to use her as a stand in for the player character for now. Character customisation will come one day, but it's low priority at the moment.
Going to start designing some other coaches for the test level.
