    How did you get into game dev? I got into making mobile games because I often animate static things in my imagination. I grew up loving cartoons, so I would see a painting or photo and imagine movement. In my mind I would enter into the narrative and complete the action. It’s like a little…

    I have always loved the graphic design and craftsmanship of Egyptian hieroglyphs and hand painted papyrus. Because hieroglyphics are so linear, they already look like a platform game to me. I thought it would be cool to make an Egyptian themed game. The ancient Egyptians mummified and preserved their bodies because they believed they would one…
