Behind the Scenes

This is my first big project in Pico8 , I've never had to deal with hitting the token limit before and was a major limiting factor in what Guild Kings was able to become . It's not anywhere near finished , and it's not anywhere near what I want it to be- but despite that , I am still proud of it .

I'd like to thank the LazyDevs discord community for helping me out , and MedievalMore for the incredible card art once again . 

I'll likely make a post-mortem and will update the page when it's made . If  anyone is interested in any of the techniques I used for animation I'd be more than happy to share them , flick me a message on twitter any time .
