Hey! I'm leading programing/technical narrative teams on this. Might start showing the process in the coming weeks as we work on polish, since it's been a bit unusual. 👀 We used the @solarus-games.org engine.

Also everyone working on the game is crazy cool, and you should follow them!

I keep forgetting, but I made a Halloween game a couple years ago. It's the 90s, you're a pumpkin man kicking ghosts through a cursed town to try and rent a movie.

It's like hyper light drifter but silly and Halloween.

Suite au changement de prix d'Unity, pourquoi ne pas passer à un moteur libre et open-source ? 💰

Aujourd'hui, il en existe d'aussi avancés qu'Unity, comme Godot par exemple! 👍

Et pour votre projet 2D, vous pourriez même essayer Solarus. Vous serez accueillis par une communauté chaleureuse. 🤗

Following Unity's pricing changes, why not trying to switch to a free open-source game engine? 💰

Nowadays, some are as advanced as Unity, such as the great Godot engine for instance! 👍

And for your 2D project, you could even try Solarus. You'll be welcomed by a generous and warm community. 🤗
