We just used some dungeon tiles from open game art, but yeah animating the guy took a lot. Yeah it's always good to use what you can and make it your own to save time, especially for game jams. Just harder to nail a simple art style that way.

I tried working on a team for Brackeys jam it didn't go good I quit the team last 2 days, because it was 3 of us and I was having to do most of it, and they didn't have anything they were responsible for working properly or the guy making the sprites didn't have me the art until the very end and it was terrible, and I was still having to edit and change the art. He was suppose to do animations and he never did so I was going to have to do that too. The programmer didn't have none of his scripts working properly so I was going to have to modify and fix them. Then I thought no I don't I am out.
Oh no, that really sucks, that is really unfair, sorry that happened! I have the pleasure of working on game jams with a good long time friend, so we work together really well thankfully, really blessed for that. Poor management and commitment levels is really annoying to have to deal with, which is hit and miss if you don't really know to what level the other people will be willing to work.
