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
