hey! this was my first jam too. i was pretty nervous about doing it, but am so glad i did! even if my submission lacks some essential qualities to be called a "game," it is playable, at least.
i have been mucking around with Twine for a bit now but feel like im only just getting the hang of it.
scope was a huge issue for me. i thought "nine petals, six thorns" -- sounds reasonable. but boy, was i wrong! the crunch was real but honestly stoked to finish it at least.
it's been so rad seeing how supportive everyone is, and all the creative games everyone has made! i didnt expect this part of the jam, but so far ive loved playing all the games and seeing all the ways the theme was interpreted.
can't wait to do more of these :)
