Haha, holy crap! Hello there friend. Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, I had absolutely no idea you’d posted this. Whoopsie.

Here’s an in-progress image from the game:

I’m still working on it, just moving very, very slowly. Thanks for the petition!

I hand-drew the GEMINI in the title in aseprite and stuck a gradient on it, no predefined font there. It’s meant to look like this ancient font I used to use on Impulse Tracker called “kana”, I think.

Check out this person’s fonts, they’re similar to the vibe: https://electrickeet.com/fonts/

Haha! Thank you so much for the font! I am very glad you are still working on it. Because the page was empty, I thought the game's development had stopped. It's cool to hear everything is going well! (My games are not as good as yours, not kidding.) What game engine do you use?

I mean, it kinda had stopped for a while – I wasn’t able to devote a lot of time to it. But I’ve been trying to change that over the last couple of months.

The version you might’ve played is written in LÖVE. It’s an open source framework built on top of a bunch of open source libraries. You write code in lua. LÖVE doesn’t have anything built in, you sort of have to find libraries that do what you want or write them yourself.

I have links to (nearly) all the libraries I used here: https://drhayes.io/games/gemini-rising/technology

I’m very strongly considering switching to Godot because v4 is pretty awesome. I’ve already transferred all the art assets and a lot of the sprites, just making sure I actually know what I’m doing in it first.
