tysm for the feedback! i was genuinly surprised to see feedback on this silly little thing i made when i was 19 and i think it might kick my butt in gear to make a 3rd issue since i have more uh. stuff to say now that im a real person lol

hey just wanted to let you know the discord link is expired :p

I'm using Ren'py for the game itself, and for the sprites I'm using procreate. For music I'm using free midis and converting them to .opus files with openMPT and a nice soundfont via sforzando. The backgrounds are all creative commons photos I've resized, posterized, and edited using painttoolSAI2 and an online posterize filter. the sound effects will likely be from freesound and potentially some of the halleylabs free resource packs (if you're making horror or something involving VHS tapes i highly recommend checking out the  halleylabs resource center!!)

I might also use OpenClipart for some graphics (like fake logos in backgrounds, or bootleg anime posters lol)

i maaaaay have overestimated my time management skills and accidentally made the story too long/convoluted to implement into renpy in just a week (at least, for someone who has never used renpy before, oops). I'm kind of toying with the idea of saving the story for later and starting on a more simple, cutesy short story since I'm still figuring out how to even implement a lot of the ideas i have >.<

i only have my own hubris and procrastination to blame lmao

no dont worry! it wont start for another 30-ish minutes! im just one of the people who joined before the start date was delayed by a week since the first week of December is usually very busy for people :3

i've just had some extra time to think about my idea a bit more and choose what software and music i wanna use :p

it's goin p good! i switched the idea i was gonna do a few days ago so im kind of glad the jam was delayed :p 

gonna save the old idea for another jam probably!! i've spent the last week prepping (like downloading free midis and watchy renpy tutorials lmao)

im so excited!! i haven't check itch in a while and just remembered EZM so i came here to check for updates and wasn't disappointed! :D

(also i saw the twitter posts and im standin w you 100%)

this is a really neat story! :O
