yeah ! i had never done pixel art before, so games like momodora, hyper light drifter, heroes of mana, secrets of mana and DQH Rocket Slime were constant references. i'm sure if you look for it you can find the DNA of at least one of these 5 in every pixel i've drawn here.
the cutscene text isn't really laggy, it's just hard-baked into the cutscene itself and i made it go a lot slower than the in-game dialog text so it would match the rythm of the cutscene. not sure if it had the desired effect though.
