Welcome to the finish line. 

Order Up! is a small game about my feelings towards work, and burnout. 

if you take anything away from this, I hope it's a small reminder to smell the roses in life. 

Life Credits 

I began Coding in February of 2023, and a large portion of my progress as a coder came while I was neglecting my work to some degree. 
above everything i need to thank my management Mandy and Shannon for being gracious with me and letting me work towards my dreams, even if it means someday they will have to let me go.  

I have to thank my nesting partner Lisa for being understanding as I put my home life on hold as I try to focus on learning and growing as fast as I can.  She was also my main coding helper during the period in which i developed my platformer engine from tutorials. A lot of her code wound up in Order up in one form or another , in addition to everything she taught me that allowed me to do this. 

her design portfolio can be seen here: https://www.lisadezaki.me/#intro

Additional Credit needs to go to my Other partner Leigh for her writing contributions. almost every line of dialogue came from her, she helped me define my political stance as a communist and every day reminds me to open my heart to people who struggle under capitalism daily. she keeps me honest, she keeps me rational,radical, and kind and i cannot thank her enough.
