Thank you so much! I actually haven't read that book at all, but the concept talks to me a lot-- being a videogame zinester. I've always wanted to get into zines, but I've always talked myself out of it :D So now I will go read that book, thank you!
When I first started being interested in Bitsy, I came across this and found it very encouraging: https://ebeth.itch.io/small-games-manifesto
I'm glad the game resonated with you, thank you for playing and commenting! I will keep making art!
