This cutscene is amazing! I love the vibe of this game so much :) However the cameras seems jittery maybe you've done a lerping with integers to move it pixels by pixels? Maybe you can use floats instead!

And I don't know if it's done on purpose but my AZERTY keyboard was really happy to play ZQSD instead of WASD ^^ so thank you (for my keyboard)

One last thing I liked: in the assets folder you let the storyboard and gimp files it's great to see those "backstage" files :) do you have a video or a stream of you doing the assets using Gimp? It's something I could really use for my pet projects ^^

The viewport does use floats! It should look like a very low resolution game without any sub-pixel positioning. The only jittery behavior I didn't address is with diagonal movement. It will cause the viewport to move in a "stair step" pattern instead of perfectly diagonally.

I'm so glad they keyboard layout worked as intended! Unfortunately it was broken on macOS so I had to change it to use virtual keycodes after the submission. I will continue working on it and controls are on the list to improve.

Everything was streamed to Twitch for the whole week: BlipJoy's Videos. You might be able to find some interesting things by skipping around in VODs while they are available. (Twitch will delete them eventually.) I'm planning to edit the recordings into a series of timelapse videos with voiceover. But that's still TBD. :)
