This brought to mind Anna Anthropy's book Rise of the Videogame Zinesters. I thought "Ah, this is the kind of thing she was talking about." And then I saw you used one of her tilesets. :3
I resonate with this experience. You're not alone. The phrase "Medusa's Wake" struck a chord of grief in me, with all the things she represents. You did well. Keep making good art. <3
