A few months ago I spoke about a game I'm assisting on where we have a plan for if the creative director is captured or murdered. This is that game, and Rasheed is that Creative Director. We don't know how the game affects his safety, but he wants to go through regardless. Any support helps!

#ScreenshotSaturday Of all the things I am working on slowly, upgrading RE:Alistair++ to the most recent Ren'py engine is one of them. This game is so old that Ren'py Screens didn't exist when we made it 😱, and we had to do a lot of sneaky UI hacking to make it work. #VisualNovel #VNDev #OtomeGame

I like working with #pixel artists & since this is a new platform free from the botswarm, I'd love to look at portfolios of those who have experience in matching the CPS2 (Street Fighter Alpha/ MvC style) or CPS3 (Street Fighter 3 / Warzard) styles. I'd love to commission y'all for future projects!
