Been quiet about PowerQuest but I'm still making improvements while working on Telwynium. Just added some QOL tweaks for previewing character sprites in the scene and jumping into room/character art source files. Just little things to save some extra clicks here and there :)

25 years since this thing came out. I’m very fond of it, it’s possibly the most personal thing I’ve made and, if I’m allowed to be proud for a day, I’m rather proud of it. All 8 eps up on Channel 4. #TheArmandoIannucciShows #Ch4 #ABigEgg

cannot stress enough how the elder scrolls games didnt hit for me that hard because so much of what people dug about them was already in this usage-based skills improvement, day night cycle, alternate storylines, to play this game when it came out felt like staring into the future
