That's really cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project.
For the most part, the only video game related crafting I do is cross stitching. And for me, cross stitching has always been a hobby where I'll be super devoted to it for a while, then I won't touch it for possibly years, then I'll get back into it, rinse and repeat. I've been working on a Monster World IV piece of the sprites of Asha and Pepe on the title screen for years now.
