Developer Notes:
I have a ton of plans to continue updating this game – new features, new content, bug fixes, and hopefully improving the scene display with art of sprites, icons, and backgrounds. I am only a programmer, and made everything in this first version by myself – in order to get any art I’d need support from volunteers or funding to get it done. If you’re interested please check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for checking out Borrowed Lives! I’m excited to see where this project goes and hope you enjoy playing it as much as I’ve enjoyed making it.
