Toot

Written by Jordan Mechner on 2025-01-23 at 16:07

To write and draw REPLAY, I used 3 color palettes (as in Apple II) for the 3 timelines: Blue💙for my younger years making games in 1980s-90s, yellow💛for present day, sepia🤎for my dad's and grandfather's stories.

Blue and yellow interweave in this 3-page excerpt about the never-completed 2D Prince of Persia trilogy.
