A teenage boy with short, messy hair dyed blue stands in a grassy field under a bright sky wearing a long-sleeved blue shirt under a white shirt with a "No" symbol on it, holding up his left hand with a sphere of water floating over his hand. To his right is an angry, bug-eyed elderly man in a suit with short, white hair wielding a Thompson submachine gun. To the boy's left is a copy of himself colored white and dark-blue, wearing Soviet submarine commander's coat and metals, and pointing a dark-blue gun at him. Above them is the title "The Abnormal Dimension Part 1", with the subtitle "a ZZT game by The Green Herring" above it.

In 2006, I was developing a #ZZT game called "The Abnormal Dimension". Only "Part 1" was ever finished, and it went unpublished until 2022, when I recovered the only surviving copy, cleaned it up and uploaded it to the Museum of ZZT (run by @worldsofzzt). At the time I created it, I had not yet realized I was, in fact, an artist. Thus, in 2023, one year after it was published, I redrew the title screen with the skill I now knew I had, keeping ZZT's harsh limits in mind.One year before I recovered and published "Part 1", I released the first version of "Cyber Purge" (https://thegreenherring.itch.io/cyber-purge-zzt), thus marking the moment I finally finished and released a full game.#Art #MastoArt #FediArt #ANSI #ANSIArt #Textmode #TextmodeArt #PixelArt
