The work @skolaztika.bsky.social keeps on doing for this project's is... Wow.
I have a feeling like the stars are aligning for this one. It's still a fan-game for now but I'm focusing on adding my OCs first, or characters that can be easily made distinct. For reasons. #vndev #indiegame

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

While Apex Sweeper's art is Patreon/Kofi only, I can share some GUI by @skolaztika.bsky.social! Apex is inspired by detective stories, so why not have a thematic Episode Select screen inspired by 20s movie posters! I plan to have a different image for each episode :3 #sonicthehedgehog #sonicartist
