Back toward the end of 2010 I was a proud owner of my first-ever smart phone, the HTC Droid Incredible. I got the idea with some friends to try making a game for it and came upon the idea of a simple 2D JRPG. Three years later our team produced a really exciting demo featuring the first few hours of the game. There wasn't anything quite like this available on the platform at the time and the game had somewhere in the vicinity of 50 thousand downloads.

In the end, the project was scrapped and removed from the app store. So, in its memory, I've decided to make an itch release of it so that it has a nice final resting place for people to go to to play it! I also open-sourced the code and assets earlier this year

• Itch.io
• Github

I elected to contribute about as much to my limited use FSA¹ as I spent at my optometrist last year. But...my current glasses are still working fine.

So guess who just bought six pairs of cheap colorful glasses from an online retailer?

1. a bank account only usable for vision and dental, where if I don't spend it by the end of the year I lose the money²

2. yes, non-Americans, this is a real thing

huh?
