I've had a couple people ask for clarification on what Calico and Lilly are like as characters (which you know what, fair point XD). So with that said, here's some character bios I previously wrote up for them! (Lilly's bio can be found in the replies.)

IT'S HER DAY

By the way, if you want to financially support development of Calico Wilder, I have a Ko-Fi account you can donate to. If you can't / don't want to though, that's no problem! Just wanted to let you all know the option's there. ^^ ko-fi.com/benjamage

In honor of Sonic Rush's 20th anniversary, we dug into the archives and found some original concept art of Blaze the Cat! Enjoy!

You know what, I'm feeling inspired. What kinda art-piece scenarios with Calico and Lilly would you all like to potentially see? Whether it be something cool, cute, adventurous, casual; I'm open to suggestions! ^^

Financials are rough right now, so COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN! 5 slots available. DM me if you are interested #3dart #lowpoly #animation

I did another commission for @benjamage.bsky.social ! This time of Lilly Regnalia. Thank you once again for the opportunity, Ben 💙 #lowpoly #gamedev #indiedev

2025 has been a difficult, painful year for us in many ways. We are not out of the woods yet, but I want to share the poster for episode 2 with you all. Thanks again! www.patreon.com/posts/143605... #TerminalMontage #Nabiu #IndieAnimation

I enjoy this particular genre of emergent behavior in multiplayer games

Introducing the nominees for The Indie Game Awards 2025, airing on December 18th at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @ign.com, @gamespot.com, and @sixoneindie.com's YouTube and Twitch channels. Visit indiegameawards.gg for the full list of nominees, presenters, and judges.

I think this is where I'm currently landing for my Games of the Year atm. Subject to change and there's a few games here that I need to play more of (or at all, thanks Prime 4). But this seems to be how it's shaking out atm. Prime 4 will probably end up in the Top 10 once it comes out but who knows.

Very excited to share that, thanks to the ever-so-talented @littlenorwegians.bsky.social, Calico's girlfriend Lilly Regnalia now has a 3D model too! ^^

This is just going to drive more people to making original media and away from major companies like Disney. Between the nonstop sequels and live-action remakes no one asked for, it’s hard not to see it as a nonstop IP slop factory… ESPECIALLY with AI onboard.

Look at these two blorbos. I love them*. ^^ *not as much as they love each other though

The nominees and presenters for the 2025 Indie Game Awards will be revealed tomorrow at 10 AM ET 🏆 🔗 www.indiegameawards.gg

Every generation needs a Game Cube

Guess I'll take the opportunity to confirm, the Calico Wilder project does not and will not use AI. This adventurous scrimblo was 100% human-made.

Get ready for a victory lap! There's more FREE content coming soon to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds! ✨ NiGHTS - December 2025 🍌 AiAi - January 2026 💥 Tangle & Whisper - February 2026 Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is available now!

I feel more validated in saying that the real Game Awards is all the “Games of the Year” videos individual people make, especially by year’s end or next year’s beginning.

Indie 3D Platformers 2, formerly my most viewed video since my return to YouTube 14.6K views in just under 5 months VS The Calico gameplay sneak peek 14.7K views IN JUST UNDER A WEEK

Words hurt. Don't be a bully.

Man I love indie games.

Falling without a parachute? Kinda dangerous ain’t it?

That one time High Impact Games were working on a Crash Bandicoot racing game, cancelled it and turned it into a Dreamworks crossover kart racer instead (actual thing that happened btw).

I love mods.

My RAM (or possibly some other part in my computer) looks like it’s dying again so I may not be able to do things at full capacity for a while. Y’all will have to settle for some trad sketches in the meantime until I can fix it

Hopefully this is the last time I have to ask for this. Not asking for a lot, but the new car payment hit and I need to get my cats more cat food. Anything helps. ko-fi.com/silverkeyblade

Help an alien girl make it as a galaxy-famous singer in a music-synced platformer! 🎶 platforms and hazards move to the beat 🌃 colorful city to explore ❤️ a bunch of aliens to befriend (or romance?) ✨ 90s anime aesthetics meet lowpoly Twinkle’s Galactic Tour! #PitchYaGame

You will not believe how many times I have re-watched this tiny clip of a test room run…. Well done @benjamage.bsky.social, and everyone else who is working on this project!!

yeah, sure, that ledge grab is working great

Imma be real, there's something really funny about seeing the T for Teen logo over an official upload of Mario 1 footage.

What if we played a platformer level in which roads and parking lots stretch to the 90s pattern sky? 👽💚 #gamedev #indiedev #lowpoly

Preview of the next mod I'm working on now that I can do Custom Proportions in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds! Crash Bandicoot and Aku Aku over Cream and Cheese! Still a WIP, but I'm happy with how it's going so far! (I know he's too big, I'll fix that)
