Hi everyone! I think the thing everyone is most interested in w my new #Pico8 game is the gfx. It took a few tries/months to figure out how to do it! I don't have a blog, so here's what will probably be a VERY long, meandering thread about how it works 🧵

Before anything, I just want to say thank u for all the interest. I’m humbled by the response and kind words from everyone on all social media. A couple ppl have even told me they've played it for like an hour! It’s more than I could have ever asked for and I’m so grateful!

There's not much more I can do so I'm releasing the kraken. Just want to say thanks so much to everyone who's followed along for this journey the past year or so. I know it's bad to be externally motivated, but there were times where your support was what kept me going. 🧵 It was a big challenge for me to complete this project, technically, but also emotionally. If u ever wondered why one of the characters looks like me, there's a reason for that; the game is actually about me and my mom, who passed away in 2017.
