So I made a creation myth for my English class but it’s just dawned on me that this is my first… “original” work, and I’m actually kinda proud of it. So I thought it belonged here. If enough people like it, maybe I’ll expand upon it. Enjoy!

Shadows and stars*

Before everything, before stars, before light, there was nothing, endless nothing. That nothing was alive. That nothing was a “thing” in itself. Today, we may call that nothing Death. One moment, before time was a concept, Death saw a spot, a little white dot in its void. He was confused. He didn’t know where it came from, or even when it came from. Until now, where and when didn’t exist. But this dot was... something, not like Death, a real something; it was here, it was now, and suddenly, it was everywhere that Death, or "nothing," was not.

There was chaos, everything everywhere, with no rhyme or reason. Death was frightened, panicked, and overwhelmed. He tried to make it all go back, back to that bright little dot. He crushed and condensed it all as far as it could go, until it began to take shape. Death could no longer condense it or even control it. He receded into the surrounding darkness to both hide from as well as watch this new entity.

The entity warped and expanded; initially, it was too bright to discern any notable features. As the light died down, he could see four protrusions from the middle as well as a ball of light on top with several longer strands of light flaring off the main source. Death watched this entity with both caution and a newfound interest.

The being seemed to wander and search, confused. It broke off a tiny piece of light from its head, another dot, but when the entity placed the dot down, it grew frustrated, saddened, and even pained. Death saw this and finally decided to reveal himself.

“Why do you cry?” he said. The entity responded, “This world is supposed to be grand, colorful, and bright, like me. But all I see is darkness and emptiness, like you.” Death was slightly offended, but understanding. “What is this... thing?” he gestured toward the dot. “A star; it’s supposed to be big and bright.” Death took the dot and analyzed it. After a few seconds of staring, the dot burst into brightness and flames, illuminating the space around it. The entity was overjoyed. “What did you do?” it asked excitedly. “I gave it everything you didn't—mass, gravity, heat, all the things you can’t see.”

They stood in silence around the ball of light before Death broke the silence. “What are you?” The entity was caught off guard by the question but thought about it and answered, “I don’t know, what are you?” “Nothing.” Death answered bluntly. “Then I guess that makes me... everything.” Death chuckled. “What?” “I am not nothing, and you are not everything. We may embody those things, but in the end, I am me and you are you, and I am Death; that is my name.” Death turned to the being, “What is your name?” The entity couldn’t speak, it had no answer.

“... God, God will be your name.”

Forever thinking about the most self indulgent Sonic AU possible. Literally nothing major changes beyond me reworking some elements of Shadow’s backstory and abilities to be more cohesive along with some of my headcanons. Good news is it gives me a reason to do more redesigns! I want to redesign Sonic and Tails next but I only did Rouge and Shadow last time so I’m legally obligated to design Omega next. Anyway, posting this so I can’t chicken out or forget I wanted to do this heh.

What would I even call it anyway? The biggest change is focusing more on Shadow’s ability to manipulate and channel chaos energy through machines and his ability to quickly pick up on and work things like firearms and vehicles, so maybe uh- the Lineage AU? Because of Shadow following in the Robotnik family tendency to be good with machines?

I started outlining a new story yesterday! I’m still working out some details. I don’t want to give away too much information yet, since things may be subject to change. But here are my first successful character designs for it! They don’t have names yet.

Another misleading title. The aliens weren't that furry when I got done writing them.

I was probably thinking of BlueByte game Albion, which has aliens called furries.

Bringing up the bodies (WIP)

Jacob was intimately familiar with the various sounds the dead made as they were swallowed by the still waters of the lake. The longer they had been gone, the less noise they made, with only a few exceptions.

The more recently expired still had air in their lungs, bubbling to the surface, and sometimes the icy grip of the water would cause their muscles to contract, splashing as they fought to escape their fate. Those that had time to decompose and marinate, on the other hand, slid silently below the surface, slack limbs giving way without protest, embraced by the icy depths.

He’d been helping his mother with the bodies since he was only small, five summers old at the most. Now he did the work alone, silent and resigned. It was a job that didn’t bring much in the way of socialising; his clients rarely talked back when he spoke to them, and he’d given up trying a long time ago. 

All his needs were seen to, of course. The village provided well for his position. He was never short of food, drink or medicine. Each morning, he made his way from the banks of the lake where he had waited all night, and tucked himself into a soft bed of woolen blankets, gifted by the textile guild. He would stare at the wooden ceiling of his hut long past sunrise. When he finally slept, he slept fitfully, dreams bringing him no rest.

(if you get the message "Whoops! There was a problem with the preview." Ignore it and click download.)

So I am new to the game making scene, and while I have been working hard with Nick on Mydhilde, I have been training at making a 3D game in Unity.

With no knowledge of C# Programming, a little of Javascript, Never used Unity, I present to you. "T.E.S.T: The 3D Prototype"

FAQ: Q: Is this a Rightstick Studio game? A: Kinda its a prototype for a future game. Q: When will this game be done? A: Technically, I don't know, this is a side project that I cant tell when I will update, This is only a side project for now, and whether I will flush it out is to be undetermined. Q: Will "T.E.S.T: The 3D Prototype" be its final name? A: Oh no, its a placeholder for now. Q: Will you sell this game when its done? A: I would like too, but right now its not fair to put a price on a simple Prototype. Q: Wait, you actually think this game will be work money someday? A: Well... I would like to hope. Again, nothing confirmed / side project / New to Unity here. Q: So if you are not sure about your game then why you bugging me about it? A: Because I am not the game maker of Rightstick, and if I can do this much by myself, I am proud of what I have achieved in this little project so far.
