i dont think theres anything wrong w starting a thread at any point during the jam personally, and the characters youve got so far are really cute! even though you said theyre just mockups i like your art, its very neat and clean yet everythings rly cute and round and fluffy! i can rly relate to having problems w motivation and time management lmao.. so ill be rooting for you, im excited to see where you take the story and characters
