you are not prepared for the moustache tomorrow
you might be wondering what I'm currently doing on #NovaSquadron, and well
I'm sat here with Aseprite open,
pushing the individual pixels of a magnificent handlebar moustache,
while the other half of my brain is busy wondering "how can I make a flightcade game play like a shmup"

I bet this isn't surviving social media compression in one piece, but #NovaSquadron 's buttons now 'fizz' when you hover over them! Lots of little floaty particles drifting around as an extra visual indicator of what you've got selected.

I have somehow managed to scope-creep my silly aeroplane game into a situation where I (software engineer with no drawing background) need to learn anatomy.
Not sure how I did that.

I genuinely do not know where the public perspective of #NovaSquadron as the gayest flightcade game of all time came from. 0.4.1 has, like, three characters, and they only talk about mission objectives. At this point I'm just going along with it
