Join me for an exclusive conversation with Kenn from Pineboxgames about Future Ghost, an indie 2D point and click adventure game so visually authentic it feels like reading old newspaper comics!
Discover how Kenn meticulously scanned pages from his personal comic collection to create the game's striking retro aesthetic.
We explore Kenn’s journey from English teacher to indie developer, his inspirations drawn from classic comics and games, and how he achieved Future Ghost's uniquely physical appearance.
We also discuss out love for physical games media and retro gaming in general.
