I remember January 2023 was a good month for me, probably my best as an artist. I had just released a game which was featured in an arcade and artist's motivation was hitting hard- Here's the story of that...

Featured Interview-

At this time I was playtesting a game by 'Yasuhito' a Computer Scientist from Tokyo- "QUANTATTACK"! I wanted to have a featured interview each month from the start so I chose Yasuhito as my first, even including art from his game on the cover.

Cover Art-

'SmellyFishStiks' is the main artist behind the cover-art. I'm a long time fan of his for his game, "SQUID DEFENCE". Which I loved. I believe I contacted him to do the cover-art. I sent him the title-art and the 'Quantattack' art to slap over his art. I then made a few adjustments such as the controller and the lil' monster dude in the bottom right w/ a gameboy.

The Release-

After collecting the articles with help from Nerdy Teacher's discord I began to put them together in a Lexaloffle post. Which I quickly learnt was a long and tedious process- (one that Nerdy took over doing sometime after May). After finally assembling I posted this:
