NOTES

keep the theme in mind while playing.

my first LD game and first ever game from scratch.

it was a mad dash to familiarize myself with lua and figure out

what resources were available for what I wanted to complete.

went for a gameboy classic kind of feel... minus the black background. oops!

it turned out almost exactly as I wanted, with less polish than I

wanted, of course :)

didn't want to fuss around too much with game mechanics since this is

a whole new world for me - so I went with a "story-driven" approach.

hopefully it wasn't a story borne totally of sleep deprivation and lack

of creativity.

my apologies for the programmer art!

would not have been possible without the help of the brilliant authors of

a couple libraries I used. you guys made this 48 hours much less of a hell

than it could have been!
