I love the intro and the premise of this game. Pretty ambitious with that other stuff going on and less than a week left in the jam but I'm excited to see what you come up with.
Yeah, just a little bit. Though that's what makes jam games so interesting, gotta find ways to get maximum value out of minimal systems. I wrote my own engine for a piece of coursework, and a server too. Using Unity is like a breath of fresh air compared to my own [buggy as heck] home-brew software. It's one of the reasons I chose to participate. Hopefully people will enjoy the finished game!
