I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised to find I had a hand in this one.  ;)

I was! I played through the game yesterday and enjoyed it quite a bit, and then did a little double-take when your name showed up on the credits. I was wondering '#####, did he tell us about this or is it a surprise?'

To what extent did you contribute to the project?

I did the storybook intro, all the dialog portraits, Shield Knight's animations, the tile sets for both the Troupple King and the Airship, some of the faces for the backers in the Hall Of Champions, numerous palette changes for PNC's... A bunch of stuff.

I was talking to their lead artist for the game a couple months back. I originally wanted to get tips on making better sprites, and instead of simply giving me pointers, they offered me an internship.

Dude!!!!! I saw your name in the credits! I decided it had to be some other Morgan Guyer.

Congrats! This game is one of my favorites of the year!

In a month I'll be able to post all the stuff I did on it. Including things that didn't make it into the game.

Thanks, everyone. :)
