LUCID by The Matte Black Studio @matteblackstudio.bsky.social · Oct 16
Hey Friends :)

My name is Eric and I am making a game called LUCID.

Its a love letter to the games I played growing up.

I'd love to connect and be friends.

Holding a reward over your head is just one of LUCID's many nods to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 🌸

Happy 27th birthday to OoT 💜

Alongside Hayao Miyazaki and Hidetaka Miyazaki
one of my greatest inspirations is Mr. Rogers

I hope his gentle words of wisdom and kindness resonate with you as deeply as they do with me 🌸

How I started my #indiegame journey:

- old boss : shoved me out of his way / slapped drawings out my hands / threatened my paycheck over dead flowers / had office cover for his affair when his wife called

- my fiancé : whatever happened to that #game you were making... LUCID?
