It's the 1st Anniversary of Echo: The Oracle's Scroll, my first real game after nearly a decade in the industry!

So I'm gonna write a bit about how I got into games :D (It's a tad naval-gazing so I apologise) + I'll talk about how much it made and what's next!

Been working on a little wolfenstein-3d style raycaster for the Playdate (168Mhz CPU, 16mb ram!) for a fun little side project, it's starting to come along okay!

Trying to keep a good framerate on the actual hardware is rough though! Been learning a bunch about programming and optimizing C!

Funny story: Journey had no automatic shadows. I painted them all by hand. The shadow texture was not hi-res. To get the iconic sunset columns to cast sharp shadows, I made sure that they aligned with the pixel grid of the texture. Here you can see the shadow map I painted.

pet peeve: mobile apps that use the spinners for date of birth inputs, so i have to keep spin the year back from the current date and feel my body decay as i attempt to reach my year of birth 😭
just let me type a year
