Game Jam Crunch
7 months ago
Aaaaaaaaah
Did you know that I entered a Game Jam a little while ago? It felt important to do so because 1) I've always wanted to take part in a Game Jam, and 2) I am burnt out as helllll. The change of pace has been very refreshing.
HOWEVER.
The deadline is approaching and suddenly it feels like its ludicrously generous time frame maybe isn't so much time after all :') So I am busting my ass to get the art assets finished for this thing. I've put my other responsibilities on hold for a little bit while I race to the finish but I'll have something pretty cool to share with you when it's done.
Here's a little info about it!
It's called Excession, and it's a solo project for RPG Makers 'Beyond Expectations' Game Jam. It's a little bit like Dark Souls meets Disco Elysium (on a game jam time frame) and features fully hand drawn backgrounds, characters and portraits. One thing I can promise you about this game is that it will look amazing~
You'll be able to play it on itch.oi once its done (in about a week, possibly even in browser but I can't promise that part)

FA+

And don't skimp on the fine details! A shorter game with sound effects, animations, and visual feedback and flair is going to feel a lot better than a long game with none of that. Even subtle things like animating flower tiles or adding a "blip" when the cursor moves can do a lot to liven up your game.
Best of luck, and remember to have fun! I'll be excited to try out the final product :)
