🔥💙DrgnBeauty💙🔥 @dev.drgn.beauty · 09/11/2024

wanted to put up a thread of old thunder edge dev videos from waaayyy back in early development, just to show how far my game's come! and also so they're *somewhere* after i nuke my twitter february 2023 - first tech demo of the game with the basic movement accounted for

🔥💙DrgnBeauty💙🔥 @dev.drgn.beauty · 05/11/2024

yeah, that makes sense for me

A simple white screen with black text, saying:

Your Result:
Love
You create from love. It is an overflowing love that seeps out of your heart and into all you create. You couldnt possibly contain it inside yourself, and so you dedicate yourself to depicting it through everything you make. Your art is a celebration of what you cherish
most, a loving tribute to everything that captivates you. There are things too wonderfulto be appreciated in silence, and so you sing of your love time and time again. You are determined not to let your vast love go unnoticed or forgotten. That's why your work is a
declaration of affection, an expression of fondness for everything that makes your life worth living.

🔥💙DrgnBeauty💙🔥 @dev.drgn.beauty · 21/10/2024

9. Mega Man X4 im a huge fan of the megaman series as a whole, but MMX4 is literal PERFECTION (come on, admit you like the cheesy PS1-era voice acting, its okay)
