Make sure you play the game if you want to before reading this! Spoilers ahead.
When I did this game in 2020, Alberto Rico (@RicoAlbe), in the Introduction to Game Design class, tasked us with creating a Bitsy game inspired by events, people and places of our own life. After some introspection, this came out, a feeling that accompanied me for several years, loneliness.
Back then, I was pleased with the game I did, and even that joke at the end, "Haha! I'm trendy, I included my father saying: are ya winnin' son?", but in reality, it was a way of self-defence, "ooh, maybe I'm sharing too much". Three years and a half later, I've changed that dialogue so it does not break the flow of this little piece.
I've attached the first version of this game to this devlog in case you want to see how that last part of the game was.
Thank you, Alberto and all my friends; although we are far away physically, our hearts beat close.
