This is lovely! Is this your first N64 game? How much documentation is there for aspiring N64 developers?

Thank you! This is my second, albeit my first game is shorter and a bit less polished.[1]

n64.dev is a pretty good place to start as far as links go.[2] People often use an old copy of the official SDK. There's also libdragon, which is a promising new open-source toolchain. [3]

Please change the background. Kinda hard to read your article for fear of getting dizzy lol

Sorry if it was disorienting or difficult to look at! I've quadrupled the tween time to be much slower. Let me know if that helps.

If it's still pretty bad, I can look into having it removed instead.

It made me feel sick almost instantly. Maybe making the central section completely opaque would help as well as changing the direction of the movement so it's not linear, and increasing the frame rate also.

I appreciate the feedback; I've removed the animation for now, as it sounds pretty bad for some audiences!
