Photo of me smiling and holding up the cover painting for my game. There’s an inset screenshot of the game, with a black-and-white pixel art image of a bus stop, and the title text. Text above the screenshot reads “robotspacer’s adventure corner’ and text below reads “Transfer Point, Macintosh, 2026.”
I released my game today! Let’s celebrate. I’m going to talk about it for a little while, then we’ll play a bunch of other World Builder games. www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch
