New timelapse video, yay!
From work on Postal: These Sunny Daze cutscenes, this particular shot is from the outro, cropped in a most non-spoilery way possible.
3 hours of work for a little over 1 second of animation, at 10000% speed, including a surprise around the middle, for your viewing pleasure.

I screenshotted this review of TSIOQUE just the other day and now bumped on the author here. Thanks so much for the lovely review @capabilitygames.bsky.social, still read every single one and they really matter. It's great our game can still find and touch you, for more reason than one.

Well, hope were quick to buy on sale. Thankfully full price is perfectly reasonable and helps support indie devs so that's no big deal, right?
