5 Bucks for the Bus on Steam An open-world RPG about trying to find happiness in our modern society. It's also got some fun card-based battles and dungeon crawling as you explore the nooks and crannies of The City. You'll see, do...

Working on 5 Bucks for the Bus at the moment! A bit different to Niko, but also similar in some ways:

there's something very sad about Manky Kong. he just doesn't seem like he has his life together, like he's been failed by everyone around him.

Some scene commissions I've worked on recently! The walls and floor (except the bathroom floor) were provided to me, while the palette is not as vibrant as the usual one I use, to fit the darker theme:) Had a lot of fun with these!πŸ˜„ #Pixelart #γƒ‰γƒƒγƒˆη΅΅ #ν”½μ…€μ•„νŠΈ #Pixel #pixquareapp #gamedev #indiegame

The Nintendo Music app allows you to "Play Hourly Tracks" for the Animal Crossing OSTs, meaning it'll play the music that corresponds to your real world time. Neat!

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
