Hiya, Jack, my name is Alex! I’ve been a fan of the happenings in and around the Gas Station for quite a long while, and I wanted to make a Tales From The Gas Station RPG, though don’t expect anything truly amazing, as I’m no master game developer, but I hope it will at least be in the “pretty cool” category. This game will all be done in an 8-bit style. A 4-color palette, and 16 * 16 tiles. I already have a working title screen with a tonne (Metric) of help from two members of the Pain Gravy Discord Server. I have also made a fully functional map for the Gas Station and character sprites for Jack and one variant of the player character. For now, it's really just me working with donated art with feedback from the community on Discord, though any help is appreciated. I even have a snippet of an introduction involving Jerry spiking the player’s drink with acid(?)! The game will be more "story"-based. Meaning, that it will mostly focus on the daily happenings of the Gas Station, possibly including some of the stories from the blogposts, if Jack approves. This game will be available to play on macOS/Mac, PC/Windows, and hopefully, eventually, Mobile, after trimming it down. I plan on making this game completely free, since, firstly, I don't have the right to charge for it without permission, and secondly, it makes it more accessible! Now, I posted this as a question, and here’s why: Jack, firstly, are you okay with me transcribing your characters and setting into a game medium? If no, I’d gladly slam on the brakes of this project and shut down the entire thing. Secondly, do you want to be involved with this project? I’m honestly fine with any answer here, but I would feel better about having your occasional opinion on things every once in a while, if you feel like it! If you don’t want to be involved, but let me continue chugging along with this I’ll clearly label this as a fan-made game to prevent any possible confusion. TL;DR I'm making an 8-bit TFTGS game. Is it okay for me to do this, Jack? Do you want to be involved?

I have had thought about turning this book into a short film, it would mostly follow just the first few posts and be a few minutes, is this something you guys would be interested in?
