Hii!
So, I basically made this jam for me to have motivation to finish personal portfolio goals instead of fanart, studies, and commissions. Deadlines are nice to have, but self-imposed ones do not mean much. I have participated in several game jams, and missed more, and the feeling of failing to submit them makes me sad, so I thought this would be a good impetus for me. If anyone else joins, I hope this also helps you.
More about me: I love video games and think of them as one of the greatest forms of art due to their ability to combine so many other forms while adding personal interaction and cause and effect. i code, write, and make art... but I am taking a pause to try to get a portfolio of all the same thing, instead of so many different things. I am most active here: yuwoor.bsky.social
The original plan was to have this be inside a discord, and if it ever gets big I could still do that, but not right now. Reading over itch.io's terms made me realize they are nice and lenient, so this sort of thing should be allowed to exist. Also this is my first jam i have made myself so bear with a little jank.
