Quarantine is a time for passion projects.

I haven't been at my studio much the last month, so I haven't been able to do as much drawn animation as I'd like.

But that has given me a chance to get into another passion project. Here's a little bit of gameplay from an 8-bit NES game I'm making. Trying to put charm and character into a few low resolution frames with a very limited palette is a real challenge. But having a limited toolset is often a great catalyst for creativity. It forces you to really find ways to do what you need with the tools you have.
