4. what is your favorite color, and what associations does it have for you?
Purple!! And for me, I associate it with mystery and magic and all things elegant and just a teensy bit enigmatic - cool nights and flowing regal capes, sparkling orbs and the glow of magic spells, the eerie fog from the mysterious forest and the sheen of sparkling gemstones with just a little bit of a spark to them... That kinda stuff!
18. what's something that excites you about a project you're working on?
Gonna gush about something related to my PMD fangame, kinda! For me, it's just taking the plunge to do it in general - making video games is something I've always found cool, and anyone who knows me knows that I've always been really interested in game dev cycles and all that happens in them, but I've never been a super-skilled coder and all the backend work seemed too intimidating for me to start.
But, I wanted so badly to throw myself into something new to get my mind off of college because I felt it would be good for me, so I just said "Fuck it, I'll at least try" and it paid off! I'm learning how to code games slowly but surely, and also experimenting with other art forms like pixel art and trying out things I've always wanted to do and have it actually work out and pay off despite my initial hesitation just feels rewarding in a way that's hard to describe! But, I'm glad I did it. 83
