I tried taking the Final Fantasy pixel art #ClairObscurExpedition33 characters and making the Maëlle one into a #C64 sprite. There's no good pink colour for light skin tones in the C64 palette and there's no strong red or orange, so I don't like how her face and hair are the same colour.

Thank you for the idea Kickstarter, but I'll think I'll try making some other games first. If you want to play my buggy Global Game Jam game however where you're a robot who has to deliver mail, then you can play it here: markduval.itch.io/going-postbot
