Editing videos is not my strong point. But I needed to have this for the upcoming PACKET crowdfunding campaign. I think it does its job well. 🐭
I wanted to have text throughout, but my program was limited, so I just put the text at the end.

Backed!
Did you know that Allison of Astra made a cameo in our Crabbie Attack game? It's true!
She's the star of a series of NES homebrews and her entire season in one multicart is on Kickstarter. It's currently 68% funded and worth checking out.

So to your point, could I do my own music if I had unlimited time? Maybe? But its not my strong point and there's someone else out there much better at it, and I'd rather partner with him. But use AI? No way.
I do virtually everything in my games except music. I tried to learn Famitracker, but just couldn't do it. I found my music guy, and recorded myself humming the tunes I wanted because I didn't know how else to convey them. Long story short, I continue to trust and use him.
And that is very much appreciated. I'm happy that you and DalyenGames are making this possible.
Very good news, and I am glad you have found a way around my country's stupid tariffs. Silly question, wouldn't it make sense to have the USA site display prices in $US instead or Euros?
