In 2013 people sent me death threats because I made a pitch for a Zelda game where Zelda is the protagonist.

I posted a character design tip on twxtter last year, and several ppl replied “stop telling me how to draw!” 🙃

Clockwork Empire did go viral so it was probably inevitable that losers would find it too. I think what really rubbed them the wrong way was that I cast Link as a damsel.

This is basically what I was hoping Echoes of Wisdom would be. The trailer was...a letdown. :x Also definitely haven't seen and used a mod to make Zelda the protagonist of BotW. It was assuredly not awesome.

This is funny not only because I remember thinking this looked sick, but because it feels like Nintendo looked over your shoulder and copied your notes a bit for BotW and TotK. If not in premise, certainly in aesthetic and some mechanics (like the weapon switching).

Clockwork Empire was how I discovered you all those years ago, and I loved the concept! It was fresh, had awesome puzzle mechanic ideas, starred Zelda which was a nice change of pace, all around incredible! I still sometimes just utter the title to myself, cause Clockwork Empire just sounds badass!
