Man, I want shapeshifter cap SO BAD.
I want to see a Billy that really leans into the wonder of the world, the million paths a child could take in their life.
I want to see a Billy that wants to try everything, at least once.
A Billy that looks at all the people who spit at him, deride him, pity him, dismiss him, ignore him, because he has no future, no prospects, a child in the gutter and say no. I'm going to grow up to be whoever I want to be.
And a captain marvel that says you're going to be amazing.
Billy taking the premise of captain marvels form - his ideal self, a blank slate for Billy to paint his bright colours, the person he wants to be deep inside - and dialling that freedom up to eleven.
A dancer, a dinosaur, a train conductor, a tiger, an ice cream maker, a butterfly, an astronaut, a shark, a college student, a Tamaranean, a mouse, a scuba diver, an elephant, a doctor, a moose, a race car driver, a dog.
A child wanting to see the world.
If you want to find captain marvel, well first you've got to try his comm, probably a couple times.
Then you've got to go to fawcett, hope he's there and not saving the yetis from a salamander invasion in a different dimension.
You've got to ask around, because it often goes by word of mouth here, no matter what technology you bring. Don't worry, it'll spread very quickly, but if you're in a hurry you can find his commemorative statue and leave an offering. No one knows if it really works, but it's a good way to pass the time and feel productive.
Soon, a face will peel out of the crowd. It's always familiar, but it's never the same one.
Wait for the flash of lightning in a cloudless sky.
And then you will find captain marvel.

A tiger escaped from the zoo and entered my university campus. Fortunately, this was common enough that we had a “tiger escape hotline” that we could call and report it to.

SHH. Going to tell you a secret: I made a video game and then didn't tell anyone. Well, more of a demo/proof-of-concept (complete with bugs and collision issues!).
Down The Eye Of The Tiger is a dream diary-genre game made in Rpgmaker MV over the course of roughly 2 months and some change as part of Dream Diary Jams 6 & 7. My plan is to keep working on it sporadically whenever I feel like doing pixel art (read: often enough and with excruciating intensity) until it's done.
Hopefully my next update will have more of the "narrative" implemented; in this release I was just trying to make sure that everything I had put in-engine was technically accessible to players.
If anyone's interested in seeing alerts on development, I'll be posting future updates/commentary type stuff over at @downtheeyeofthetiger.
