I'm gonna go ahead and cut RIGHT to the updates and new teasers since that's what we're all here for soooo...

MUSICAL FUN WITH MARIO 75%

First off: the biggie... Musical Fun with Mario has been a challenge to say the least. Mostly in terms of the art department as I've been struggling to keep animations consistent, and the process for cleaning and implementing and cleaning again is lenghtier than it would be had I went with a simpiler style. NEVETHELESS, I will NOT sacrifice the charm and whimsical nature that Mario's world has just to make things a little easier.

Originally, the mod was meant to release in September for Mario's 40th anniverssary, then on MAR10 day, but we missed both deadlines. As of right now, we're 3/4 songs fully composed, charted, and implemented in game. Most of what's left, other than that last song, is cosmetic (menus, specialty animations, miss sprites, etc.) which is all very manageable, it's just a scary mountain I've gotta climb at SOME point.

All in all, other than some delays, the mod is coming together as I want it to, and I couldn't be happier whenever new stuff is added to the build. I KNOW you guys are gonna love it as much as I do!! Look

MODIFIED_PROGRAM 20%

Oh ModProg... my beloved little impulse project... I've wanted to do a Deltarune mod for a LONG time, as some of you guys might know because of my past projects, but it never reached too far outside of Chapter 2. I am proud to announce (and showcase) that we're gonna have 4 songs total: one for each chapter of the game!

You guys have already seen Spamton's sprites for his song titled "dIAL ^UP [1997]," but here's a teaser for our chapter 4 song, "FRAIGHT NAIGHT"! This song will be a kinda simple one in execution, but it's silly and carries the energy of the original Jackenstein fight well in my eyes! I thought about maybe doing something for Gerson since he's undoubtedly the highlight of chapter 4, but Jack's fight stuck with me so much when I first played, I felt it fitting to give him some love!

I'll be showing more from Chapters 1 and 3 once they have more finalized assets and music to showcase, so stay TUNED to those screens!

LITTLEBIGPLANET: GROOVE 95%

LBP Groove is in a weird place at the moment. Originally a one-song one-shot mod, we ended up adding a second song later on! With the remaking and reimagining of the assets, has come a NEW version of the original Sackboy song, Creatune! This version was actually the one used in the original teaser we showed off, but there's an even OLDER version!

Tangent aside, that second song is currently in danger of being scrapped in favor of simply keeping the mod as a single-song experience mostly due to our wonderful background and UI artist (my goat Paint) being busy with many more professional projects and we're all super happy for him. This DOES mean, however, his art is unfinished for this second song, and personally, I feel his style brings so much personality that I feel I could never replicate. The song itself is done and so are the sprites, it's just the background.

As for what else is left, we're in a limbo state with coding, all that's left being the main menu and some recoding of the original Psych build to Codename. It's definitely close, so keep your eyes peeled for when it drops!!!

SERENADE OF SCARLET SKIES 10%

The NEWEST (and possibly last) of these FNF projects is another item I've had on the bucket list for a while: a mod based on Touhou 6: Embodiement of Scarlet Devil!

This idea actually goes allll the way back to 2022 with another mod appropriately titled "FNF: Scarlet Skies" which had a similar premise, but let you play as BF as well as the 2 main protags!! I'll showcase more of that old concept art when the mod's out, but it's still very early in development...

We're still looking for an artist to help me cover the background, but here's the UI in the base game!

ANYWAYS that's all from me for now! Expect more news in the coming month, and HOPEFULLY a release or two! Thank u guys for reading, and for all of your support as it drives me to keep creating :'D

BYE EVERYBUDDY!!!
