Working on BackwardsQuest for #ByteOffV with Artix, FJ, and Raftronaut has been amazing! A platformer action-RPG where the story, gameplay, and even the music playโ€ฆ backwards!

Canโ€™t wait for you to try it. ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ Demo coming soon!

I don't want to be too pushy when it comes to communication.

But if you like my work, simply liking or sharing the trailer for my game helps me a lot.

The more eyes there are on my game, the more chances I have of making future projects and games :)!

Sometimes in #Gamedev I know things are wrong but I do it that way anyway and then revert back because I know my brain won't stop nagging me if I don't.
