A while back, I worked at a comic book store five days a week, so I had access to a lot of old Marvel and DC comics. I made these brushes from scanning the comics directly. My brush set has all 64 colors which were possible to print on newspaper at the time.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

A really nice detail i am happy about in Rhell is that magical effects can be used on NPC's throughout the game in the exact same way they can on objects
which means you can totally transform and use evil magic on the cute npcs you meet in the game

Big coat Snoopy, Peppermint Patty calling Charlie Brown, ‘Chuck’,
and Lucy providing mental health services at an affordable rate ;)
