Ya got my interest! Nice game so far - I will certainly keep an eye out for further development.

Who did the box art?I really hope it's not AI...

So sorry to disappoint - but yes the illustration is AI, the rest of the layout is by me. We had very limited time to put the demo together and wanted something quick for the competition. When it becomes a full game we will be looking into commissions for both the boxart and the music (by humans).

Okay, well I'm happy it's at least just a placeholder. Sorry if I sounded cranky :P

The game looks very promising, and the idea of a shooter with a very zoomed out perspective seems novel, so I will definitely be following the development!

No way, it's important to know what people care about. Getting a real artist on board will elevate the project. There's a couple of people I will be asking but on the lookout for artist suggestions.
