Thank you for your kind words. I think she would be proud of me too.
Yeah I am using Rpg maker mz. I had been using MV for a long time too, both of my other games were made with it. Switched over to MZ recently to give it a try, I like the quality of life improvements. I finally feel like I'm in a place to my something truly special with the engine.
I'm hoping to get a cover art out soon. Thanks for the advice, I was thinking something striking like that too. I want the name "FREAKOIDZ!!" to just pop.
Thanks, I'm hoping in the next couple months to have a playable test build.
