iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

So I worked with an friend of mine recently with the footage I got GENEROUSLY recorded by @caddicarus.bsky.social at #sunnycon 2026, and we have started creating the "AU version" of Spons that I intend to feature somewhere in Rebellious Takeover, Snops. Full video as soon as i've modelled it. :)

The text on this image shows "SNOPS - 'Hello! I'm legally distinct SNOPS!' - Spons (original) by Caddicarus" alongside at the bottom, several logos from vecShift (V), Rebellious Takeover and AU (Aunuto).

The image shows a concept back and front view of a unique character with detached head and hands connected by wires, in a kite shape with small stylized boots. The kite is metallic - And there is small graffiti on the back and front. The head has a beard and is wearing a cap with the words "SPONS" on it and a scouter-style visor with ":3" on it. On the behind there is a sticky note on the neck that has a crossed out "Kick me" replaced with "SPONS!" in red. The tail of the kite is a golden chain with a golden bar at the end of it that also reads "SPONS" but with the S's replaced with dollar signs.

Just a fair warning though - I'm only accepting people who can confirm they are over the age of 18. This is due to the fact that the game includes adult content in it's expansion DLC and has adult references inside the base game. This is also a volunteer effort. You will be credited.

j @jakedravioli.neocities.org · 27/10/2025

Hey, so I need some help! I need some voice actors for small "blips" (literally less than a second of voice) for each character in Rebellious Takeover. Contact me if you're interested, and share this around if you can! Thank you! :) #indiedev #castingcall #gamedev #voiceacting #indie #va
