Dec. 22 HomeCast Rewind, Featuring 100 Cactuars, Furniture System and Holiday Items

If you've ever wondered if that 100-item limit in Home really works, here's your proof, in the form of 100 cactuars in the Tycoon Penthouse. Yes, it took a long time to set that shot up. No, I won't be doing something like that again.

The challenge of creating an episode 10 days before it runs was very acute in this episode; knowing that it would run during the holidays, I wanted a good amount of seasonal content. Unfortunately for me, most of that released after this episode came out, but with a bit of help from Lockwood's Gift Machine, I found enough to give it the appropriate holiday feel.

Those snowflakes at the beginning are from two White Christmas 2010 snow machines placed on top of Loot Space Ship walls, then shot from below against a bluescreen. A bit of that footage was also used for the PlayStation Home Yule Log.

Avatard Productions returned to contribute the excellent Bloons and Urban Camo sequences, and you'll find many of the people who bring HomeCast to life in the final shot at the end. They're a hard-working bunch, and I don't know what I'd do without them.

A reference to Monty Python's "How Not To Be Seen" -- epic win!

Those cactuars must have indeed taken forever, but it was a great effect.
