Dragonite. Dragonite Dragonite, I think Dragonite is an awesome evolution from Dragonair because it bucks the assumption that each evolution has to be bigger, and share similar colors and builds. Also it's so happy, and I love how close it looks to Charizard. Also how deceptively stronger it can be.

The painting is done sticking to the pose of the original sprite, but mimicking artist Ken Sugimori's watercolor-style, and keeping the form of the Pokémon more closely to its official non-sprite art of the time.

Gyarados! Love Gyarados, undoubtedly one of the best sprites in Blue, I wanted to take time on this one and make it as cool as the sprite, hope I did! Gyarados as a concept is awesome. Love both Magikarp and Gyarados as an evolutionary Pokémon line.

oh my god how is it the end of the month already Kissed By A Star is very queer. I know plenty of queer people in my life. My wife is bisexual. A major theme in KBAS is bisexuality...to the point where I used a lot of pink/purple/blue in the game.

I'm proud of my game and the reaction it has gotten.

"First off, the amount of characters in this game is ridiculous. There are so many different lives to learn about and most of them are intertwined to a degree that you do not see in most games. Every character has a purpose and the more you learn about them, the more you hope things will go well for them. But the world presented in Kissed By A Star is unforgiving, terrifying and just downright horrifying. The countless characters are always up against seemingly impossible odds. To me, that is what made everything so compelling. Many chapters you will feel like a character has no chance, then some insane miracle will happen and give them hope to continue on."

I enjoyed Yooka Laylee more than most. Sure it was worse than the games it was aiming to be, but it was still fun and nostalgic. But Yooka Replaylee glowed up that game so much. Had an absolute blast 100%ing. My life has been babby and collectathon lately. (also 101%d dk64 for the first time)

The first boss theme. Wow, this song was HARD to get right. Definitely the one I spent the most time with. Inspired by Wolf Alice and Persona 4's battle theme. I wanted a song to fit badass women fighting. The name is a nod to Ghostly Rose's boss them 'Anthem Of' youtu.be/xWtizkh3ogc?...

Glossary music. Heavily inspired by the post-rock band Mogwai. This is actually a remake of a Cope Island song of the same name: the one that plays in the Bath Trial. It's my favorite of that game and I will always include the melody in my main games as an easter egg. youtu.be/9jY3hYwQXvo?...

This was ABSOLUTE the first thing I made for KBAS. I was at work on a Sunday and simply composed it in a couple hours. Inspired by various moody girl pop songs. ESPECIALLY Murasaki Forest in Mother 3. That song and vibe of that part of the game is to blame for much of KBAS. youtu.be/GC_HWvnolew?...
