Reminder: Do not edit my tracks without permission.

Hi! I'm Cotni, a computer science student, a CTGP track council admin, a 19-year-old Canadian, and, some rumours suggest, a CT creator.

Over time I've picked up a fair repertoire of CT creation skills, including modeling in 3ds Max. I try to apply this to my own works whenever I manage to overcome procrastination. (In practice, I do not manage to overcome procrastination.)

My works

New tracks

Big Nature City v2.5, v2.6 2020-12-09 What an ordeal this was. CLR0 tip: There is an off-by-one error in how BrawlBox/BrawlCrate saves CLR0 sequence indices, and the easiest workaround is to use a hex editor to decrement the frame count.

This affects the final frame of the sequence... no wonder lgmb chose to leave looping enabled, and just made the frame count absurdly high. Which bloated the uncompressed filesize, which is why I came around to this track in the first place, blissfully unaware of the tomfoolery afoot.
