Truly a world in crisis where an enterprising do-gooder cannot get a continental breakfast on the house QAQ

Beat the game! Got both endings for the sake of it and had a good time doing so. I have observed before but am still always surprised by how minimal a formula can be and still evoke interesting context? I enjoyed the contrast in the final city and thought the Memorial puzzles were clever too! The sprites were really awesome too ^^

To end on another food note, I am happy that gremlins do not steal rations or drain FP as they may have done in Ultima XD

Awesome job and glad you enjoyed the game!

Thanks so much for the high praise with the sprites.

It was my first time actually making graphics myself and everything is custom from the chars, enemies, tilesets, system UI and more.

I also released the whole lot as free asset downloads over on my itch main page for public use including extra chars, tilesets and monsters that were planned for an Altima II that I ended binning due to writer's/game dev's block or whatever you want to call it, I'm sure you know what I mean :)

Oh yeah no worries, I getcha, I could probably work the rest of my life and my published projects will never overtake the project graveyard I have had going since I was a sprout XD

Making sprites from scratch is very work intensive, but it feels really good to be like, totally in control of the visual presentation? At least, that's something I prioritize really highly. I think your stuff did a great job of capturing the era while having your own personality too ^^

I was feeling imaginative and couldn't help chewing on what Altima II could possible look like, it is pretty cool and I'd totally play another one?Maybe someday! :D
