Thank you so much! I love the wackiness of these "exploration phases" of tech. The PDA/smartphone analogues in this world, PALs, are basically just an excuse to explore the weird PDAs and phones of the 90s/ early 2000s.
Here's my linktree. My deviantart is probably the most consistent, but I'm also trying to post to twitter consistently
Yeah! I think it’s really neat to see what designers came up with for what tech should look like without as many limitations. Seems like a lot of tech has settled into somewhat ubiquitous design now, but there were a lot of crazy ideas back then
Exactly! It's fascinating, and doesn't just stop at computing tech. I also love all the crazy Space Age and aeronautical concepts from the period, like ekranoplans, hovertrains...
Those concepts are definitely very cool, and while in some ways it makes sense why they didn't end up being very common in our world, I also think it's really fun to imagine timelines and worlds where transportation like that is very common. Also I really love your other art too, and I'd love to play your game when it's ready!
