As Creative Director of #Threadbare, when first considering the creative style for the game, I was drawn back to Amiga Classic, #CannonFodder (1993) by Sensible Software. A marvel of pixel art and sound/music, with totally unique gameplay.

I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚
Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩
