Abysm today: Cleaned up the line work in some of my capsule art, and (hopefully) finalized the design of the final chamber. Now it "just" needs implementing.

With font size settings text like this can now work better on small screens like the Deck:

Abysm today: Did some research and sketches for my Steam capsule art, might be on to something. Finished up the chamber from yesterday, now six more + final chamber to go. Started playing around with concepts for one more but there's no "puzzle" yet:
