Thank you very much Chris! I actually didn't think much about Hektor's design other than "funny blob creature" at first, but I do love Made In Abyss and the media we consume does inform our practice even subconsciously, so who knows, hehe.
I can see how the eerie feel comes in and it'd definitely be an interesting direction to take or to recreate for the next jam! Especially if it was more MiA-esque instead of a more classic RPG horror vibe.
Can't wait to check out what you've made! :)
@Kirin and @RatPrince
I've no doubt you guys will be able to pull off either directions, just depends on what you wanted to do (I'm a fan of both)!!
On your reflection of generosity, Kirin, I found that insightful and very relatable at this stage of my life. It's a better conversation over tea, but when I was younger, I felt a strong sense of having views about things: Give her a fish and feed her a day. Teach her how to catch fishes and feed her forever - things like that. As I'm getting older, I realize these are just POVs, even if they're mine, and as a result, I'm holding onto them less, and rather than be concerned with why this or why not that, I've been putting more energy and focus on doing what I think ought to be done - in that way, I relate to you guys' vision and Albert a lot.
That's so nice to hear :') I've actually never heard of that saying before but it feels so in line with Albert being a cat too lol! It's absolutely food for thought, especially at my current point in life too where I'm faced with loved ones who are struggling, and unfortunately the furthest I'm able to help them is to give them the tools to help themselves. Our perspectives will be everchanging in tandem with our experiences, and that's exactly why we grow and change as people. I agree that it's just as important to periodically reflect on these stages of our lives and how far we've come. A lot of the games in this jam have been very thought provoking for me as well, which must mean they're definitely getting a strong message across. I'm touched that this contributed to that!
