A note on how this was made

This is my first game! Starfall Keeper was designed and directed by me (khiq) and built with the help of Claude AI. I provided the creative vision, game design, art direction, and QA testing while Claude helped with the code and pixel art implementation. Every mechanic, story beat, and visual choice came from collaborative iteration between us. I'm proud of what we made and wanted to be transparent about the process.  <3
