I haven't had work in months. I'm a good art director, expert pixel artist, and although I prefer to do art, I can also make entire games from start to finish if necessary, as pictured. Not the greatest coder, but I get the job done (like Chapell Roan I guess). please share

silly doodle - thinking of renaming scriptorium to something more fun. Tessera is fun but it's not all squares so it makes no sense. Got any suggestions?

Looking for anyone to try an alpha level editor for 'The Neighborhood' game (multiple game mechanics). It is rough around the edges and very much a work in progress.. ping me if you want to give it a whirl and I will reply with the url.
