Rhino, first of all, thank you so much for writing such a long post for my submission, I will take everything you've written to heart. It really means a lot to me that someone actually played through this game, even though it ended up like this.

My vision was to create a game for the IGMC that contained no combat but was entirely quest based using Yanfly's Quest Journal plugin and containing some kind of broom flying mini game. I had a really good start creating some tiles and sideways walking animations, however after some time there was trouble at my IRL job and suddenly I had almost no time at all to work at this submission. I was really sad to not being able to complete it in time as it would've been my first game.

On the last day I still decided to submit what I had and I spent a couple of hours putting the game together and wrote all the dialogue and events in a rush. I intended to have the witch have different animations for every direction of course, including up, down and diagonal, but I copy pasted what I had instead. Made a still of her facing up in a hurry. Bug testing as good as I could, the graveyard map I spent no time on at all as you've might have guessed, at that time it was 2AM and I had a working day the next day so I was completely exhausted. Right before hitting the bed I submitted the game and uploaded this misaligned picture... I figured that no one would notice the game at all, it just felt good for my own sake to have completed the submission at least. I was sure the game would be lost among all the amazing submissions to the IGMC.

With that explanation out of the way I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words and suggestions! I am happy that you could look past the flaws and still somewhat enjoy what I managed to create. This was my first game and even if you're the only one to check it out it makes it all worth it for me after knowing that someone actually played it. I now feel motivated to keep creating things in the future. Thank you, Rhino!
