I haven't finished it yet, but just wanted to say this is breathtaking. I really have no idea how you can do so much in two weeks! like 29 backgrounds or so right? How long do you spend on each one? They look so full of detail!
Also curious if you draw them at-res, since it seems like your style would scale up beautifully to high-res. Anyway, I'll play more and give my thoughts, but I'm pretty blown away already ;)

Whoa, thanks for the kind words! I took time off work and did little else for the two weeks, plus didn't sleep much in the last several days :). I spent the first week only drawing and got to having all the basic backgrounds in outlines + very basic shading on the first Saturday evening. I know that was around 8 hours of drawing per day if I count only the time my pen is actually touching the tablet, which means about 12 - 14 hours per day including breaks. For the rest of the jam I didn't count time, but was on it pretty much constantly and spent about equal time coloring + doing characters and writing/coding. The dialogue took the most time of non-drawing stuff, if I had taken advantage of the rule that you can write dialogue in advance, I could have squeezed out more :). And yeah, I drew at-res, so doing low-res was a way to make bcgs faster rather than a stylistic choice - I would have preferred higher res, but it would take much more time.
