hey its cool you made something for the lospec jam even though you didnt submit it. i didnt take part for the same reasons that you brought up earlier, but i do think the palette wasnt bad. i saw some of the games submitted to the jam. i think with a palette like this it would be nice if someone made a retro style rpg, though it might not be enough time

also cool you made a platformer pack, im still thinking of making one. i have some ideas but i havent started it yet. maybe im kind of anxious of starting it.

Yeah pallete wasn't bad but 16 colors is too restrictive for me and there was 8 pairs of colors without intermediate so it was a bit of a challenge for me

Honestly, as I said earlier I also didn't plan to make art but I decided to try to create a game. But game needs assets so I started drawing. I usually don't finish everything I start so I ended up with unfinished asset pack instead of a game prototype... I've just thought, I've finished only 3 packs: rocks, bushes and jewelries 🤔 And none finished games

Anyway it seems to me that I spent all the passion that I had at that moment for drawing banner for pixel asset pack jam so I stopped drawing this pack and even didn't start drawing any portraits even though I had two weeks. So it seems to me I see a pattern if jam has a great banner, I more likely won't participate in it by itself.

yeah i get it, i am usually the same way

if i start working on something i usually have to finish it quickly, otherwise i get bored and probably wont finish it. i have some asset packs i started a while ago and i probably wont finish them

i think thats fine

it was the same for me when i was doing games or art before that. when i finish something quickly and release it, i feel ok not doing that for a while. when i cant finish it quickly i leave it and move on. i might use it for something else later, or i might never use it.

anyhow i think this is super important to try to learn how to let go of stuff you cant finish and not regret leaving it. also important to try to learn to give yourself breaks without feelong like you’re being “lazy”.

this is better than trying to finish everything and work constantly bc then you burn yourself out and might end up giving up on something you like doing for that reason
