I saw a three week bitsy jam and thought, sick! a nice long one! I can really stretch out in here instead of scrambling like I always do! And then my concept expanded to fill the space like a gas. It's fine. I guess I'm just Like This.
My first idea for this theme was to do another deeply personal autobio game about my ethnicity and barriers to understanding it and so forth. But I hesitated. It's personal stuff, y'know, and I have mixed feelings about sharing it, so I started thinking about backup ideas.
(Itch dot io user StoneSable was crucial to that brainstorm, btw. Big thanks to him.)
And at the end of that process I basically went "what if I make a puzzle out of a lore drop and put romance options in?" And that sounded like a lot more fun than grappling with my personal problems.
The moral of this story is to just do what you want.
