The animation at the beginning and end were actually really good. I am a little confused as to what claude.ai is and what exactly it helped you with/what you used it for. Also a web build would be prefered, since the .exe was a little finicky.

Since I saw you used godot, I think this might be able to help: https://www.kodeco.com/45341300-publishing-your-godot-project-to-itch-io#toc-anchor-002. As for zipping your files, any zipping program will work. You won’t need to use 7-zip, so just use any program you have available to you
