Derbyshire dialect features prominently through the game. I based a lot of the dialogue on someone I know, but also used a couple of pages for ideas:

• http://www.near-chesterfield-derbyshire.com/derbyshire-dialect.html
• https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/dictionary-of-derbyshire-words-...

I found some really nice tools by Cedric Stoquer whilst making this game and I used them for making sound and music:

• Bleeper (sounds) https://pixwlk.itch.io/bleeper
• Pata Tracker (chiptunes) https://pixwlk.itch.io/pata-tracker
