The demo is out — a full "early years" story arc, free

The demo is now live, and it's a full "early years" story arc all on its own.8bit Salvage (the company - which is just Bob, Randy, and you) salvages pixels from retired game sprites. You hold a spinning brush over the art, the pixels come off one at a time, and they get sucked up through the hose. Your boss, Bob, walks you through everything, but not really. You'll see!It starts off slow, and as you upgrade your workplace, things go from calm to kinda chaotic - in the best kinda way. About 40 minutes, completely free, right here on this page.If you enjoy it, a wishlist genuinely helps a small shop get seen. And I'd love to hear what you think in the discussions.. about the gameplay, the fun factor, and even about Bob. He'd insist there's nothing to report.Keith - Fertile Soil Productions

I've completed speech therapy. They say I'm still tone-deaf, but that's just a matter of practice. You may now interrupt me while I'm talking. Randy installed a button. I've chosen not to take it personally. The big speeches stay uninterruptible — those are my art. Randy changed the sprite solution.…
