Thanks for commenting, and I feel you.  The world has quickly been changing for the worse now starting with the UK becoming a police state, all under the guise of "protecting children" when it has been shown such efforts are able to be circumvented anyway.  It has really killed my motivation but that is what many of these dictators seem to want, so I will continue thinking.

Thank you for the feedback!  To be honest it felt like I got nowhere near what I wanted done, but it’s important to remember when you decide to work solo for sure, so I appreciate you saying so. :)  I had a sort of general idea for a Hololive project outside of this jam, but found the theme of this one to be a good fit for a sort of prequel I hadn’t thought of before, so it’s kind of like working backwards from an ending I guess and using it to flesh out more details and has helped me get a better understanding of what I want to do from here on with it.

Thank  you!  To be honest, I was a little worried many might not like the drawings, so I’m really glad to hear otherwise!

Thanks!  Haha, yeah, couldn't get them to fit the screen right in game so that's why I included them.  Really appreciate hearing people enjoy them!

Thank you!  Admittedly it's not something I'd anticipated having issues with in Game Maker when I drew the art, unfortunately.  Probably should have handled it differently to be honest.  It's something I think will be easy to fix in the future using digital art instead.

Thanks!  And yeah, there's no real game over state as the game is now haha.  It's something I'm still planning out in terms of finding out exactly how I want this game to be balanced properly and how easy or difficult I want it to be.

Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback!  Music was something I really wanted to try, since it’s something I don’t have much experience in, but sadly I’d got too sick by the time I was going to add any.  Thinking it will be one of the first things I work on when I come back to this project.

Thank you, Alvin!  I really appreciate you saying so!  I definitely plan to do more with it eventually, hopefully some time when I get my health back in order.  But tbh my plates are always spinning and it's hard to stay focused on one idea for very long lol.  It's a bit of a chaotic routine for me to go back and forth between projects.

Thank you!  I'll have to check it out I think, always love to explore new engines!  Though learning can take me a while lol.

Thank you for playing!  If I do more on this, randomized fishes and placement is a definite idea to tackle.  And yeah lol tell me about it.  There was nothing special I did to really aim for a low size, guess the assets I made are just small enough to not amount to much 🤔 

thanks for letting me know about this bug!  I guess it’s one thing I hadn’t tested enough to realize huh 🤔 Definitely something to note whenever I get back to this game.  Thanks for the feedback!

Hey, thanks for playing and taking the time to give feedback!  Sorry I haven't got back to you yet - have felt a bit under the weather today.  Not sure if actually sick or if it's allergies, or just too much time at the computer lately lol.  Anyway, really appreciate your insight!  all things I agree with.  Not to really give an excuse or anything, but stuff like music is really not my forte, which is why I didn't bother trying in such a short window of time, but yeah, really ought to think about what kind of music might fit this game.  Not sure if I'll develop this idea into anything more in the future, but good things to note down just in case!

just a few more pictures I’ve got tonight.  Guess we’re nearly there!

not much of an update to give, have a lot done around the halfish way mark but I'd like to leave a lot of it a surprise.  So i'll just go ahead and share some unfinished screenshots of one of the first rooms, as well as an at the time unfinished enemy sprite.

Thank you Benny!  Likewise with yours!

Thanks, Riggy!  gonna have to put some sweeter stuff in to balance it out a bit lol

What a long and productive day it's been, at least by my standards.  Just got done with one jam and right into another, but I feel excited rather than exhausted.  Perhaps I simply enjoy this theme more, especially considering the season.  I don't generally play a lot of horror games and can probably count the ones I've finished on one hand (Shadows of the Damned, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, perhaps one day I'll finish Chulip...does Deadly Premonition really count?) but I love watching others play in order to experience the stories.  With the recent Silent Hill 2 remake being released, I realized just how much I adore the original and wanted to make something of my own in the same vein.  I'm sure it won't be as good, and there are other inspirations such as Junji Ito's works at play here, but I think these ideas are just as good to spring off of.

I don't even have a name in mind yet but I'm sure it will come.  Most of today has been spent on assets, mostly art as I feel it's my strong suit, but learning my lesson from my previous endeavor, I've made sure to spend some time on other aspects as well in hopes that this will be more balanced and actually include everything I plan to.  This is pretty much the culmination of today's work, kind of duct taped together as it is.  I don't want to spoil too much in the coming days, so I'll have to design around that.

Hello everyone!

I usually go by Bloody, can call me Travis if you want.  I plan on working alone on my own project mostly because I feel like I’d hold others back with how I don’t work well under pressure lol.  Maybe one day.  But I wish everyone luck!  Just thought I’d introduce myself for anyone who might not know me from Riggy’s last jam.

I’ve been waiting for a new one, last time was a blast

That is unfortunate to hear…even these smaller sites having vague rules.  Can only hope there gets to being more competition eventually so that developers and customers alike have more options available to them.

I plan to purchase eventually - unfortunately not much spending money right now.

But I’m curious.  Is there any specific reason this can no longer be sold here?  Just in regards to how Steam also seemed to arbitrarily decide not to let you sell on their platform.

Pretty fun game, way more interesting than I'd anticipated!  Admittedly not too big into horror, guess I should have expected it to go that way not too far in, but still enjoyed it.  Perhaps it's because I have not delved into too many RPG Maker games, but this felt like it did a lot with those assets - goes to show how important creativity can be for this kind of project.  Hope to see more from you eventually!
