I don't know why I envisioned this as a portrait for a dialog box providing tutorials for driving controls... Probably because I had the Volt Forge theme on the whole time.

A Neka (https://www.neka.cc/composer/12091) depicting my original character Anabel, she's a woman with hot pink hair, tied into a braid behind her with a long strand covering the middle of her face.
She has a mostly neutral (although leaning towards positive, as she has a small smile) expression, with her right hand brought up to her chin while her left hand is cupping her right elbow.

She is wearing a set of white gloves, with some scar like marks visible on her lower arms, covered by some wraps. Additionally, she is wearing a dark red, sleeveless turtleneck, with a white apron like piece (intended as a stand-in for her mechanic overalls) over the top.

Also the two Knuxinas live together now.

Today on "Knux tears his hair out".

A screenshot of a set of Discord messages from me complaining about UI development. Reading:

I'd love to figure out a way to do this properly, rather than copy and pasting
<hc:Card MaxWidth="160" MaxHeight="160" BorderThickness="0" Effect="{DynamicResource EffectShadow2}" Margin="8">
<Border CornerRadius="4,4,0,0" Width="160" Height="128">
<Image Source="/UI/debugempty.png"></Image>
</Border>
<hc:Card.Footer>
<StackPanel Margin="10" Width="160">
<CheckBox Content="Item 1"></CheckBox>
</StackPanel>
</hc:Card.Footer>
</hc:Card>

over and over with different data.

(An image then follows of a pattern of blocks, each containing an image of the Source Engine missing texture checkerboard and a checkbox with the word Item and a number below that).

But I cannot wrap my head around this shit to save my life.
Bindings especially make ZERO sense to me.

Still think this game is fine.

I have FP2 to thank for making me learn some basic Unity stuff. Modding it has been a joy and also a fun challenge.

Fine I guess I WON'T play Superstars.

Ah being able to have Big Picture tuck the "What's New" stuff away now is nice. This feels so much cleaner.

TIL that the Botrix plugin for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch also works on Deathmatch Source. The game's still borked, but its a bit of a laugh.

Randomly looked at the RetroAchievements set for Silent Hill 4 and some of the descriptions for the Hauntings are making me crack up. Especially this one.

Definitely be happy when Tails is done, the finish line is in sight, but I'm just fatigued and cannot be bothered to do the things I need to do (did manage one at least).

The current TODO list for Tails in Freedom Planet 2, split up into two sections.
The first section is for things that must be done before a release can be done, containing:
- Finish the Emerald Hill based tutorial. Touch up/proofread Omochao's existing text.
- By being accurate to the original, Emerald Hill's collision is wonky, add some extra walls and path switchers in places to patch up various holes.
- Finish Tails' event animator. (Pose12 (Milla's pointing pose) is used in Inversion Dynamo and Weapon's Core).
- Tidy up some copy and pasted code (Super Form and Scripted Tube stuff).
- The Super Icon disappears when below 50 Crystals due to how its implemented on the Sonic mod side, duplicate it into here.

And the second section is for potential things to do in the future, containing:
- Achievement for Emerald Hill in the same vain as Sonic's Home Sweet Home achivement?
- Improve Super Tails, try give him the Flickies.
- Actual corkscrew set up for Emerald Hill rather than just using scripted tubes.

Throwback to when Murder of Sonic was recent and I decided to have some fun with a style guide.

The train car environment from Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog, but with Knuxina rather than any of the actual characters. She's wearing a surprisingly large hat and a different jacket, with the text box saying "Yee'haw pardner. (Man this voice is fun...!)".

Not quite the Spam Trap but hey.

A scrolling sign in New 'n' Tasty that has had its text replaced with "i showed you my cacodemon plz respond", a message lifted straight from the Freedom Planet 2 Archipelago's Spam Trap.

Knux @knuxfan24.com · 27/08/2026

Done some more tweaking with this that I need to test properly but am currently too lazy to.

The same scene as in the original post, except the Mudokon scrubbing the door doesn't have the Archipelago icon rotated, with it now facing the camera like the others.

In addition, the Bird Portal has a padlock sprite over it too.

Rather than actually getting anything done, I just keep adding Spam Trap messages.

A Spam Trap message reading "Local officer reportedly almost a sandwich" in reference to Resident Evil.

A Spam Trap message reading "THIS CANNOT CONTINUE" in reference to NieR Automata.

A Spam Trap message reading "Finny Fun turns out to be not so fun after all." in reference to Kingdom Hearts 2.

A Spam Trap message reading "An archipelago.gg account is required to play this title." in reference to the bethesda.net requirement that was initially forced on the 25th anniversary Doom rereleases.

Considering how they "proudly" display how many sites have featured their "work", yeah its entirely to fuel a sad little ego.
