Re: Not the Not Sonics!
passing through here just to say how happy I am to see how far A2XT has come since we started that project 7, 8 years ago. I even question if people remember me at this point, but still! good job to everyone involved!
is this videogames?

Re: Not the Not Sonics!
SUPER excited for this, y'all. and can i just say the music playing in pily's apartment being the same song from her infodump in A2XT? because i think that is an ADORABLE touch and that song is highkey underrated. merry 0/25ths of a christmas!

For some reason, I forgot that "Pily" was pronounced as "Pilly" (rhyming with "Silly"). All this time I've been saying it in my head as "Piley" (as in "Smiley" or "Miley Cyrus").

Re: A 2nd X Thing Gaiden 2 - Now Even MORE Festive!
Finally, an upside to me constantly forgetting November is a 30-day month! Advent not just a day early, but a day earlier than expected as well!
Personally, I was pronouncing it ['piːli] (pee-lee). I can't even remember if I forgot or I just didn't finish watching A2XT in the first place. It's been so long!
Hi YouTube peeps! Want a cozier, chiller community that actually feels like a discussion instead of shouting into an endless void?

Re: A 2nd X Thing Gaiden 2 - Now Even MORE Festive!
I haven't forgotten but I do need to keep mentally correcting myself.
But yeah. Video games! When we first pitched the collab, we were shooting for something smaller in scope and less ambitious than last year. My, how things change over the course of a few months...
This level was a lot of fun to put together and Enjl did a fantastic job with the logo animation at the end. Also shout-outs to SetaYoshi for the lectern NPC used in Pily's apartment and the Read Me Sign blocks used throughout the level, Chaoxys for contributing a few of the graphics in the level, Valentine for the character of the Assistant Manager, and the spotzone peeps who nominated the emotes and stickers we put up on the walls!
Some other assorted notes:
- Yep, Pily doesn't lose her powerup state when she takes damage, only when she dies! We figured it'd be more conducive to design levels around her extended moveset.
- Her balloon move is a bit tricky, it both adds to Pily's current upward momentum instead of sets it and reduces her gravity as long as you hold the jump input. So you actually get the most height if you use it shortly after jumping with a diminishing upward boost the further into the jump arc you use it.
- There are a number of 3-ups hidden in the level, with the first one raocow collected only appearing if you kill the bananasnake. The idea was that you'd cannonball down onto him while passing overhead and chain it into a new balloon but I never thought to actually place filter blocks coming up with your own solutions to problems is fun!
- The new calendar background is the first thing I've ever arted in Krita and also the first time I've ever used canvas rotation for digital painting. I used to do most of my non-pixel art in Flash by like, vector sculpting, but this is so much more fun and I love all the different brushes so even if the Krita Foundation didn't take an explicitly anti-NFT stance (which they totally did!) they still get five stars go download it instead of giving Adobe your money (or you can use Clip Studio Paint or whatever other software you prefer that doesn't support crypto nonsense or bleed its users dry with subscription fees)

Re: A 2nd X Thing Gaiden 2 - Now Even MORE Festive!
Funny because it feels like I didn't have to do nearly as mush this year.
edit: though i guess when you're largely running back what you had last year, there isn't as much heavy lifting in that department. was probably a blessing anyway, since most of the first half of this i was pre-occupied with magl4, and now i've gotten back into minecraft the same day this video hits

Re: A 2nd X Thing Gaiden 2 - Now Even MORE Festive!
here's a question for you all
since this series is in essence 'replacing' the sonic videos, does it make more sense to have this series running at the sonic time or at the traditional advent time? I honestly can make an argument for both, so I'd like to hear some thoughts

i believe 7:30 PM EST is defs more accessible overall, even if we don't get the standard c-side slot i think this would be good for consistency

I would prefer whichever one is earlier, so that I have less reason to stay up late against my better judgment.
