@cocoa__art Yes! The areas look amazing! I'm so happy to see the lighting they went with. The spooky areas are definitely gonna go crazy. I also noticed kakariko has some of the houses in different positions? Curious about the layout changes too (:

I got to the see the Undertale Determination Symphony yesterday! Absolutely amazing renditions, and the venue was outdoors. We had a bit of rain, but it added to the experience 😄 it was so fun getting to share these moments with so many lovely folks in the crowd. Would go again!

I had the honor of helping out with one of the tracks for the #clubironmouse concert! (Snake Eater). Pretty surreal, and I got to be in the credits with my good friend Thunderscott :) I'm glad everyone had a great time!
