Such a wonderful atmosphere…
The knitted-like filter gave it a soft and gentle feeling, which was so nice.
Ahhh, grandma! Your love for horses wasn’t passed down to your daughter, but at least your knitting was! (=^･ᴥ･^=)♡

nooo not gram gram :( (very good game btw)
Oh, one of my favorite submissions!
Here are some mechanics I really liked:
1. The popping effect of the knitting, I liked how it kind of represented the memories.
2. The knitting shader effect.. it's simply crazy!!!
3. The horse / core message. it really resonated with me. It's a bit sad to think about sacrificing your dreams for your loved ones, but it's also about making a choice. Maybe the grandma isn't regretting anything, but simply reflecting on the decisions she made. At least, that’s how I see it!
Nice story about the sad reality some people go thru...
(Moral of the story, lock tf in or you'll never achieve your dreams)
im pretty sure the moral of the story actually is that life gets worse when you stop scrolling the internet for horse pictures
dont give up on the horses, made me cry
grandma yarn ૮꒰◞ ˕ ◟꒱ა ♡
