Here we go again! :)

It has started… evolution… I was afraid of this theme. It’s cool and already have several ideas but they are seems too hard to implement. Must do some simplifications I think.

Thinking about the Theme

“You are the enemy” is an amazing theme, but not necessarily one that is easy to do. The simple way to do it is to simply create a game where your character is the bad guy. This sort of “theme as...
