(djfenix from back in the day here). Honestly I didn't like the art way back when. But looking back now, it's charming, it has its own identity, and honestly, it was one of the better OHR games out there. Im glad youre still on it, because you're still improving it and still keeping its charm.

In 2019, I created #WhatAGameDevLooksLike after I was stopped by security 3(!!) times while picking up my speaker badge. I’m a small Asian woman with pink hair, and I guess I didn’t visually meet their expectations of a speaker. Ironically, I was at GDC to speak about inclusive studio cultures. 🫠

I had a game jam idea that was a soccer/football telenovela, where you had to take damage during matches as dramatically as humanly possible to give other players fouls. So yes to telenovela mode.
