yeah gou is kind of a downer, especially in the first half before you understand why all the horrible things are happening.... i wonder if it will have a happy-ish ending (its probably too late to have a happy ending without the ish at this point)
tbh drawing good bgs in untitled's style is not too difficult? it's really free-form. i remember i made a couple but i dont remember if it was for anything that got put into ausep. level design is another thing tho lol
