Update Number the Last:

Sadly, due to general life and (ironically enough) my own depression getting in the way, I won't be able to finish Quest for Oats in time for the jam. However, I'm not very sad about it. I did a great job, for what it's worth. I got a whole bunch of work done. All the little rooms, adding an intro cutscene, actually making a good base for a fully functional game, it's way more than what I did in 2021 with Duck in a Library where the game was an interactable room and that was all. I won't submit the unfinished game for the jam, and instead I will hold off on posting it until it's done. I already signed up for another jam and I have a larger project I am already working on, so Quest for Oats is going to be on the back burner until I find a jam focused around finishing unfinished games. I might add back features I mentioned cutting since I would have more time, or I might not finish the game at all and just use what I learned towards the next jam I'm going to work on and towards any future and current projects.

I just wanted to let you guys know what was going on, and thank you all for being so kind! I'm sorry I couldn't finish the game, but I'm just so thankful to have worked on this around a wonderful community. I'm excited to see what people are going to submit to the jam this year, and I'll probably be back either next Winter or when the Summer Jam rolls around.

Thank you for listening to my rambles about my silly little depression game.
