Breakdown of the animation process for the Rooster statue transform seen in our trailer for Raincaster. Drawn and painted by hand in @procreate.com!
Old Man Terrapin stood blinking sleepily, when Rooster came with a yell: “Good morning!” called he, a little too loud, for Terrapin hid in his shell. Animated in @procreate.

One of my favorite pieces on this whole soundtrack by @michaelkirbyward.bsky.social is this gorgeous track at the end of Eternia. It's easy to miss in-game because it only plays in this room *after* you've done what you need to do here, but what a treat if you stay a while #gameaudio #vgm
Michael Kirby Ward 🎶@michaelkirbyward.bsky.social · 11mo agoMy friends are correct when they tell me I am not promoting this nearly enough… and though I am loathe to self-promote, this is genuinely the coolest thing Ive ever gotten to do. The double LP vinyl of my soundtrack for Hauntii is available for pre-order NOW! www.lostincult.co.uk/shop/p/h-vin...
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
Genuinely so insanely proud of what we're doing with our physical releases - Promise Mascot Agency, ahhhh! ❤️ Paper Trail, Hauntii, Arco, NORCO, Thank Goodness You're Here!, IMMORTALITY, and The Excavation of Hob's Barrow - an absolutely wildly beautiful lineup.
