A note from the developer

This game was made with AI (Claude). It is also something of an experiment:
how far can I shape the world and the play experience I have in mind,
and will the people who play it accept it?

I would especially love to hear:

  • Did you have fun playing it?
  • What updates would you like to see?
  • Are you open to games made this way?

これを確かめる、実験的な側面もあります。

Hi!

I recently discovered your game and really liked it, very retro :)

I've just started a new Reddit community called r/RetroFrontier, dedicated to retro gaming, classic computing, homebrew projects and modern creative experimentation.

One of the ideas behind it is to create a welcoming environment for indie developers who use AI in their creative process, alongside those working with more traditional tools.

Would you be interested in presenting your game there?

Here's the community:

It's still very new, but I'd love to build it into a place where interesting projects can be discovered and discussed.

Best regards!

Maximus
