Freedom Planet 2 just got certified for console release, with a release date of April 4th,and a rating of Teen.

Let me set the scene.

Freedom Planet 1 opens with a beheading and has an electrocution torture scene halfway through. Somehow, it gets away with an E10 rating.

Freedom Planet 2 gets that T rating because of...

GAMBLING REFERENCES.

Slowly working on the next update to Forgotten: Crystal Princess. Since this is the long-awaited showdown of the alicorns, I want to get it right. Hopefully sometime this week.

Also finally completed Freedom Planet, beating the game with all three characters. This game taught me one thing; I'm not very good at platformers, outside of Sonic. So, the solution to that?

I seriously hope this video looks as impressive as it felt.

Pointers for those unfamiliar with Freedom Planet 2:
- The player-character Lilac has a boost ability. She is invulnerable for the duration of the boost. You can cancel the boost early for damage-over-time at the point of cancellation, but you are immediately vulnerable to follow-up attacks.

Warning: Mostly non-MLP related.

I've been writing fanfiction for most of my life, and posting it online for 16 years, starting with Digimon in 2007, Sonic in 2010, and then of course, where the vast, vast majority of my work is, My Little Pony in 2011. Now, indie developer GalaxyTrails' 2D platformer Freedom Planet has captured enough of my imagination where I've started a rather short story after the epilogue of the second game.

With my quest/race to get a Rainbow S on all of Freedom Planet 2's stages, my creativity lit up like a bonfire again, and I started crafting an alternate ending of sorts for the past week.

That story is now complete, and posted in its entirety over on AO3.

I really don't want this to sound like I'm dumping Pony for my side chick Lilac... But that's what I'm doing for the next several days.

This kind of inspiration demands that I keep striking while this iron is hot.

I'm hoping this story is finished sometime next week and I can get back to my pony tales.

Thanks for understanding!

Also, apologies to Phazon, whom I ensured would be able to read this before playing Freedom Planet 2, I ultimately decided to put some of FP2's events into the epilogue. But that's more to read once you play it!

Now here's to a third story, while yes, continuing to work on my pony stuff as well!

...where I really wish it wasn't 3 AM.

Have to save the last one for tomorrow after work, then it's time to 100% Freedom Planet 2, something I really didn't think I'd pull off.

Well, to anyone paying any attention to my blogs for the past month, I've been spending quite a bit of time playing Freedom Planets 1 and 2, which are inspired by East Asian mythology.

One Philippine dish that featured in the extended backstory of the second game was siopao (pronounced sho-pow), otherwise known as steamed pork buns.

And after weeks of looking for a nearby restaurant that made authentic ones, I finally got to try some downtown today!

That I would never achieve a Rainbow S ranking on every level of Freedom Planet 2.

And now...

Now only the most frantic, fast-paced, six-phase boss fight in the game is all I have left to do nearly perfectly.

It also gave me a very, very good idea of what stages I will never, ever get a Rainbow S in.

Rainbow S score thresholds require the use of difficulty modifiers that force you to come in under Par Time, and never take health damage.

I'm nearly 2/3 of the way to $1k, thank you to everyone who has donated so far, especially Phazon, who is looking to be the high donor yet again!

Freedom Planet 2 is up next, and will undoubtedly take us into late-night, so this may be the last blog of the afternoon and evening.

Thanks for watching and donating if you can!

That right there is a Freedom Planet developer from GalaxyTrail reading my story. I am over the moon.

Just beat Freedom Planet 2 tonight. Thanks to Ori, I know that I shouldn't be all that shocked that a 2D speed platformer has this much heart and soul poured into it, but this game's lore absolutely floored me.

Alright, if you don't follow my Twitter, here's what I've been up to this week.

After quitting Diablo 2 Resurrected after getting my teeth kicked in with the beginning of Nightmare difficulty, and facerolling my way through the easy-by-comparison Diablo 3, I took part in the Diablo IV Server Slam this past weekend.

Good morning, folks.

Yesterday was fun, and went by so much quicker than I thought it would. My family and friends, both online and off, are pretty damn amazing, and because of everyone's generosity, I'm adding another gold medal to my wall, with a total of $1,031 raised this year, bringing my lifetime total to $3,242.

Well, Extra Life 2023 is in just under three weeks, and I've spent most of today practicing the games I'm going to marathon, as well as finalizing my food and drinks.

I intend to continue my soda fast (110 days and counting!), so I'll be doing water and if I need caffeine, cold brew coffee. Snack-wise, I'm planning on bananas (potassium) and dark chocolate (again, for the small amount of caffeine).

Over the weekend, I discovered that I am really not good at writing Teen-rated sex scenes. Almost got me kicked out of a Discord server.

One of the comments was:

Couldn't you have them play video games together instead?

Video games and chill, folks. Sex exists, deal with it.
