Raindance Immersive 2025 Retrospective

Raindance Immersive 2025 is officially over. What an amazing time it was working on Luxian Lunacy with everyone at Luxe Nova. Even though we’re walking away without an award, we still accomplished something truly magical. We rose up from the ashes of destruction and got into one of the most prestigious VR film festivals within months of our group reforming! And we stood head and toe with all the other incredible nominees and left our hearts out on that stage. What we accomplished was truly unique and magical, and everyone should be proud of what they have done here, no matter how big or how small your role was in making this production possible. All of the nominees did an incredible job, and we should all congratulate each other on such amazing performances, pushing the boundaries of what can be done in VR forward even more.

And a special congratulations to Rhythmic Root, y’all worked so hard to win that award, and it shows in your craftsmanship. An inspiring effort that will echo in time and in the hearts of everyone who watched the show, and truly an effort that deserves recognition.

And now we turn our attention to the future. We have such a bright and beautiful road in front of us, and I can’t wait to take part in this next chapter of Luxe Nova and SkyeSage Creations.

HTTPS Security Issue Fixed

Hello, all.

Been a while since I posted a blog post. I use Twitter more often nowadays, so if you want more frequent updates on what I’m doing, go follow me by clicking here. Anyway, for the past week, you may have noticed that every web browser has reported this site as insecure. This is because the SSL certificate for the site expired recently. Why did it take so long to fix? A) I was slow due to IRL stuff getting in the way, B) I found out today that my website came with an email server. The certificate had auto-renewed, but it didn’t apply to the website due to that email discovery. By the time you’re reading this, though, this will be fixed and the site will be secure again.

I got a decent Red PB now; 1:20:02!!!

Was a decent run except I got stuck with Smash and KaiserWing of all the fucking things headed into solo Shuzer, which forced me to go get the VitalityRune. Dodges were also not nice to me, but hey at least I only got +16 encounters instead of +17. Anyway go watch the run it’s cool:
