sharing this game I made last year again for no particular reason

We need more old ladies in animation I think. They always deliver.

The thing that made me check out this specific animation was the usage of white outlines in dream sequence, which creates a real striking look and is a clever way to distinguish reality and dream world while making it pop.

Something that also surprised me was the fact this has voice acting in it- I assumed it would have none as is the case with many PRL era animation but I got jumped with Julian Tuwim's poem! I can't recall if I brought him up before but Tuwim is, along with Brzechwa, the most famous polish writer of children poetry. I recommend doing some reading on him, he was a very fascinating man.

Stefan Szwakopf also had interesting career, with him working on such classics like animated series about Koziołek Matołek and Wędrówki Pyzy. He sadly passed away last year.

They look exactly like the ijveer ferries that the GVB operate around the Amsterdam area. There isn't much of real Amsterdam in New Amsterdam, which the oldheads do point out, but this is dead on to the real city.

Ah, I knew Team Reptile was based in NL, but now I get the joke of Versum Hill as a name

"Cathedral of Haunting Memories" - Noctoran

some slow, eerie ambient, primarily focused on two synth layers and waves of sudden percussion. dark and haunting vocals weave in and out.

as part of the upcoming @NOCTORAN work i'm developing (and will be playing live on september 4th at The Mortuary in Olympia). a work in progress of what's to come with the full release in (hopefully) september.

also up on soundcloud if that's your thing:
