Thanks! All the textures and assets come with the software (RPG Maker MV) that I'm using, and there is little to no coding involved in the whole process (I'm not a programmer to any level). It also has a character creator tool, so I was able to make lots of custom NPCs. It's really not as impressive as you made it sound :)))
Of course, I could make custom assets anytime I liked, since I'm actually a fan of digital art and got a little practice, but for the sake of the jam, I'd rather get the bare minimum in place before spending too much time on esthetics *sniff*
As for the writing, yeah, all the lines of dialogue are off the top of my head. I love writing fiction, so this part was honestly the easiest of all :D
P.S. Sorry for the late reply, somehow your comment got lost in the notifications and I only came by it by accident :/
