By far my most ambitious project, by a long shot. Had a team of like, 6 or 7 working on this. Very proud of my level design, but crunched SUPER hard to get this done in a month (made for the Metroidvania Jam). The last two weeks I basically spent every waking moment not at work working on this. But I'm really proud how far I & my friends have come. I had a bit of burnout making this one though, probably won't set as ambitious a goal for a gamejam next time. Or at least -- spend more time building a better level editor, my god it took ages to get these rooms right, especially w/ the camera.

This was done for a week-long gamejam! I hadn't made a game for a whole year, so it was good to get back into it. Pretty proud of this one, think we perfectly captured the intended experience of having to master some convoluted JRPG combat system over many failed attempts. Honestly all my friends really came together to make this awesome, and the fact that I didn't get sick of the battle theme after hours and hours of hearing it during debugging says a lot :3. Basically no one played this one compared to other games in the jam, alas, likely as the game was not playable in the browser. Can't get a random article out of nowhere for all my games, now can I?

Someone suggested that the health should have been the time limit in the jam comments, and that's my big regret. Otherwise, I had a lot of fun fine-tuning and balancing the mechanics into a good satisfying puzzle.

I made this game with my friends, the boars. I did all the writing & most of the programming, while my friends made art & music assets. We all kinda stopped working on the project after a power outage right near the deadline of the gamejam we were aiming to submit it for made us unable to finish it in time. Months later, I decided to finish the whole thing myself for the Finally Finish Something jam. I think it came out okay. The dialogue system is a nightmarishly clunky mess behind the scenes, but it works. Someone wrote an article about it!

This is the first time that the spirit of a game jam infected my soul, I spent 8-14 hours each day working on this nonstop. This game feels the most "complete" of any of my games -- I'm perfectly satisfied with how it came out. I had no plan going into this game, I just started making random assets and then afterwards messed around with them until a game emerged. Someone wrote an article about it!
