A large-scale art project with a steep learning curve keeps taking a backseat on every turn. Even so, there is progress.

Today's update (first in 8 months): https://www.ninakalinina.com/notes/cooking/note04.htm

tl;dr the writing for the game is at the "first draft, we can fix things later" stage, and my art skills keep steadily improving, with the help from my friends.

Like the pixel art it provides the context and imagination fills in the blanks. You are going in the right direction.

This is very raw and needs lots of polishing, but I like a few things about the hook
