A downloadable game

A project that started in July 2022 (or somewhere in the summer of 1992 if I'm bein' real honest), this RPG-in-the-making is a game I've wanted to make for a very long time.  Have, indeed, been trying to make.  

Several things changed that got this thing started.  I stopped thinking about it as a way to change careers into game development, and more like a hobby.  The old man in his shed whittling, except it's a middle-aged nerd staring at his laptop for hours on end.  This helped tremendously, as there is no result of this work required to make me 'happy' - it is the work itself, something it took me way too long to learn about myself.

Secondly, I needed to get over the deep-rooted fear that using Assets would have me branded as a Fraud.  I needed to craft every pixel, every note, by myself, or else I was a sham.  Once I was free from these shackles (almost certainly related to the first point above, and most definitely something that requires occasional check-ins), I could start to use assets as a creative tool.  

So, here is a brief look into the current state of the project, 16 months into its life.

Your game looks awesome, very cool to see and I like the overall vibe of it!  Thanks for sharing your thoughts on solo dev work too.

Thank you!
