Working part time, taking 5 classes in college AND making animation's like this sounds like something to aspire to man. :) Glad you made it; hope things calmed down a bit since!
If you need backgrounds for anything in the future feel free to message, maybe I could help with that.
Dope work here.

Your dedication paid off! The arts pretty damn cute and Cave Story was one of the first indie games I ever got exposed to back in the ole' early 2010s. Lovely game and lovely animation. Keep up the great work.
