I relate so heavily to that! we grinded it out for our game too, it feels so fulfilling at the end when youre done with it! at least my side was, our coders had an issue very late and we couldnt publish it!
I encourage you to join that junipers gamejam! I would love to see what you can come up with now :D
Do you think you'll still release the project?
I'm probably gonna work on a personal project that I've been cooking for a while. Too much programming ;_;
I can do design sketches / level design if you want to shoot me towards some programmers but otherwise I probably won't do that jam. Are you gonna do the junipers jam?
