Initial world building started in 2019 as part of the DrBossKey Twitch show. During that time it was fun to work on characters, art, and animations! People kept telling me I was building a game, but I really wasn't yet, but I definitely was going through a pre production process like I would for building a game with characters, adventures,crazy out of this world villains' and video game powers. (hey, I'm a life long gamer starting with the Atari 2600).
A must buy for Shmup Lovers *chefs kiss*
