As an enthusiast of the 2000s, and as a first project, making an opensource/remake/tribute to the Spineworld aesthetic, was crucial for me. As in 15years after its disparition, no content has taken the same path, artistically, and maked art which evocates the same atmosphere.
Since no one has done it, i'll try to make something in the same vibe but in a creative commons licence, so it don't breaks any intellectual property
I'll try my best, as I am learning graphism
And i'll post progress here

Making a 2.5d pixel art educational software
in tribute of retro-games
like Spineworld, or Teacher Story. I want to create an opensource creative alternative to @jamesnorray an abandoned fictional french character created by MotionTwin.
Unfortunately, bloomtown wasn't commercially that successful, and since it had an impact for me, I want to try something which takes the same themes as it, and improve the open engine i work on, with an addition of animals, trees, and camping/observation, with a dynamic light in it's core mechanics.
