Heyyyy, glad you spotted that! All the other male characters (except for Mike, Fren, and Chris Cryptobro) were derived from Joel's sprite after I finished him. Fren was Lancer, and Maggie was Berdly. Mike, D*lto, and Cryptobro were 100% freehand, along with the items.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the game. 

Yeah working with C++ was definitely quite time-consuming, but it was a nice challenge.

Thank you! Joel was a VERY heavily edited Suzie sprite from Deltarune, and all the similar-looking characters were derived from the new "base" I created from him. Fren was from Lancer, and Maggie Pie from Berdly. I drew the other characters from scratch, as well as the inventory items. Zephix had a huge part in writing the dialogue. 👍
