For the past two years I have worked at a small, family-owned toy store. For April Fool's Day 2024, I decided it would be really funny to prank my coworkers by recreating our store in RPGMaker, putting it on the work computer without telling anyone, and waiting for them to notice. My boss liked it so much that she would go on to commission me for future projects, including the animated email header included here.
The game features our store mascot Roary, the life-sized plush bear, as the player character. I myself am also included as an NPC in the outdoor section of the game.
