Happy birthday to Alma :3

Incredibly belated Happy Birthday to our local ghost sweetheart, Alma! 🎂

Their birthday was on 20th July and I, being a bad parent, fumbled so hard and missed it by two weeks 💀 But! I was honestly delighted to find fanart celebrating the occasion, of which I'm excited to share in the upcoming week! So get ready for a lot of Alma for a bit haha.

Also, the flowers on the cake is actually inspired by the birthday comic by sanfangzhu!! <3 Thank you so much to those who shared birthday art for Alma!!

"I can't connect to nature because I live in a city" Incorrect.

"I can't connect to nature because I can't travel" Nuh-uh.

"I can't connect to nature because I-" Wrong.

Anyone can connect to nature. Please, remove the mindset that nature is something *out there*. Nature is all around you.

The dandelions peeking through pavement cracks, the birds you don't notice on your windowsill, the brambles in the alleys, the storms and sunshine.

All of this is nature. You are surrounded by it. Notice it, learn about it. Write down when you notice the days getting longer, when more butterflies appear and when ripen blackberries ripen. Connect to the nature that lives outside your window, just past the boundary of your front door.

Watch nature documentaries, build a small windowsill garden, let the spider in your room corner stay for a while.

Connection is not determined by proximity, but by effort.

Not really an ask, but more of a direct statement to you: thank you! Your games have been a godsend to me and they've helped me when I'm feeling really, really low. You're an extremely polite indie dev and rarely do I meet devs who actually treat their fans like people(I unfortunately met bad devs in the past, so you are a breath of fresh air)! So thank you, thank you so much for making Lift Your Spirits and Mushroom Oasis, for giving this world Alma/Vida, Laika, and Mychael! Thank you so much!

Aaa I'm always happy to know my works have been a source of comfort to many. Knowing that really helps give more meaning to what I'm creating; it really does boost my motivation and helps me intent on finishing what I started!

I'm sorry you've had bad experiences in the past, I try my best to be cordial to the people supporting what I do! So thank you too!! <3
