Progress on my roguelike.
Still working on the levels. This week I finished the dressing of the "Horizontal Rooms". It was harder than the previous due the curve shape of the walls, but it was easier to texture than the previous room.

We have been cooking up an indie video game project that is 100% drawn by hand with traditional frame by frame animation. The early tests are looking far better than anything I imagined and I can't wait to share more.
