Dev Notes

This is the silliest thing I've created in a while, it's a wonderful break from caring about cleanliness/revenue/audience/etc. I get why you all spend so much time on Itch.

A lot of this was a personal experiment in making an interesting controller and learning the use of shaders, and honestly it's not bad. Obviously I still have some color grading work to do and more decorations to add, as well as making the controller feel a little more polished, but I am genuinely proud of my creations here.

Now, if I were to build this game again, it would not be an endless scroller but the theme was 'Endless Greed' so that's what it got to be. However, I would absolutely keep my little dragon guy and his controller.

I'm already onto making my next little experiment, the grass in this project inspired me...
