It’s especially impressive because there’s only the two of you, and you really didn’t go the easy road. So, why was it so important for you to give player narrative choices?

For this installment of “Sleep ’till late with Marco”, I’ll guide you in the process of Aeon of Sands – The Trail official Titlescreen and desktop wallpaper creation. The first requirement to create artwork is someone who asks or forces you to do it. Usually a perverted creature called co-worker who ignores the fact that you already have something to do: to recover from too little sleep, to buy food and to defend yourself against garden vines that try to enter your floor uninvited. This kind of thing. For proper illustration making, there are engagement rules to be respected. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33506852%2F7f6b85dc1e6b31f4c9b63ba36d5f2258d31da044.jpg Thumbnails ahoy After some other unjustified jokes associat…
