Heyyy, Balduin here - thank you!! That's such a nice and wholesome comment <3
You really appreciated everyone's individual work, that is so nice to see. It is also very reassuring and cool to see, that the "simple" mechanics and quirky dialogue (Mona's idea with the kind of radio messages) were well received. I don't know if Kurt was inspired by Toothless but I definitely agree with you - it's the same spirit and cuteness vibe hehe.
We are all really proud of Animal Time and comments like yours (and everyone else!!) make game-jamming really worthwhile!
Also personal thanks at this point for the environment and dialogue appreciation :D very cool that you even found and mentioned the easter egg - 0451 is the classic reference to System Shock and the Immersive Sim genre as a whole and as a big admirer of these games I have to hide it in my games too - even if we do not have keypads that you unlock with that "secret" code haha.
Again, loved your comment - thank you thank you! Have a wonderful day/night and see you around.
