every game dev has their little sins. for me it& #39;s that every single ascii background in meatpunks is all in one gigantic notepad doc. it& #39;s 3633 lines long and takes two minutes for the cursor to scroll from top to bottom. it& #39;s a nightmare and i wouldn& #39;t have it any other way

oh yeah also i do 100% of my ascii art in fucking notepad

my setup is a lot more consistent these days -- every background is 30 rows x 90 columns, which fits perfectly into a 1920x1080 image. i use this black template text to make sure everything lines up properly

meant to say *blank* template text in prior tweet, sorry

and then, once the ascii art is done, i paste the text into glimpse and add color, effects, etc

sometimes i make text changes directly in glimpse, like that mountain in the bg, to help with composition

#MEATPUNKS

sometimes i color the text itself, like the water reflections made to look like the sky, but not often because it& #39;s tedious

nice effect on occasion though
