This one took me the longest and the parts of the process is burned into my core memory lol!
Most of this looks like it was made in MegaMan Maker but I vaguely remember ripping the sprites and just stitching the sprites together to make the scenery. I can't remember but I feel like that's what I would do for no fucking reason.
This probs didn't help my lack of subject focus since I wanted to follow (some) of the NES Limitations. Still am strict about screen resolutions and rules that my layouts still follow to this DAY.
