the top one feels a bit brighter, the bottom one compared to the top makes me feel like something sad has happened or it's gonna say "game over"

Reminds me of that old game, Another World. Pretty slick.

It's #screenshotsaturday I'd like to show off some of the concept art for the Jelly's. A mystical race of humanoid Jellyfish! Just one of wacky races you could encounter on the Siren Seas.

Hi Ryan, thank you for the complements. We already have a composer working with us. But feel free to still reach out, it never hurts to know more people and who knows what the future may hold. Plus, I love looking/listening to portfolios.

hope you enjoy Ace Attorney, those games and Hotel Dusk room 215 were my most favourite from the DS. Always have such fond memories. And fun utilization of the stylus.

I checked your bio, but could not find the steam link, just letting you know. (I did find and wishlisted on steam) looks like a chill concept but I do have a fear of falling off those ledges. Does it have controller support?

nice and spooky, already wishlisted can't wait for release

imo demos are great, gives people the opportunity to try before they buy, which I think may lead to better reviews. A lot less chance of someone buying it without knowing what they are getting into and having a negative experience because of it.

the pretty comes from the talent of a few artists, Jeremy for fx, Ziad for ships and props, Aya for characters. They've done such a wonderful job.

gl, it's true what they say make it first then improve it later. if you worry to much about creating it perfectly it might never exist to ever improve.

lol the life of the engineer, it's never as perfect as it could be. When you write it, it feels like gold, 2 months later you think you must have been drunk to write it that way.
