I also personally dislike checking the menu to figure out what shortcuts a particular game engine might be using so I did the Ocarina of Time thing where I just put the actual button you need to press on screen as the icon. idk my brain works a certain way and I made this game for me LOL

screenshot of the amadeus prototype. all assets are photographed pencil on paper and the game is using a generic Baskerville font for the text. Amadeus says: "The witch doesn't have a mouth, but it feels like she's smirking. I don't like that." screenshot of the release ready Amadeus demo. There is a splash screen outside of the 4x3 gameplay, and some of the assets, including the talk sprites, are inked, some even in color. The pencil background is more detailed and there are UI icons in the corners of the screen. Amadeus says: "Listen. I will be blunt—I have no idea what in heaven's name you're doing here. Yet this meeting may be beneficial."

im laughing since i added new screenshots for steam to pull from, you can occasionally have solea and amadeus look like theyre silently judging you as you read a blog post about steam deck compatibility
screenshot of a steam article titled "steam deck compatibility" and above the article the characters amadeus and solea are cropped just so that you only see their eyes and foreheads, staring at you with expressions that are similar to that viral image of a bunch of people at a party staring at you holding red cups

wait hold on before i disappear. i need u all to know that i hosted a Man Door Hand Hook Car Door-themed stupid art challenge this month and this was my entry. the entries are all masterpieces btw: vgf-artists.neocities.org/oct2025
a fake newspaper article for a newspaper called Le Times titled "man door hand hook car door" featuring the events of the Man Door Hand Hook Car Door creepypasta and an image that is the car from Silent Hill 2 with a red arrow pointed towards it and a pirate hook. subtitles include "Boyfriend still missing, fuel located nearby" and the quote "i here a scratching sound and a voice say LET ME IN"

🧵 Thread of highly specific self-indulgent Amadeus art (2/infinity)

3: Amadeus crying like Battler from Umineko

4: Amadeus doing the Detective Conan pose
art of Amadeus making the crying Battler Ushiromiya sprite from Umineko overlaid on a background from Umineko and text that reads "fuck you!!!!!" art of Amadeus pointing at the viewer with one hand on his hip in the same pose as Conan Edogawa, overlaid on a sepia-colored brick wall.
