Just finished up my latest game jam class project: VaporSketch! A small program where you can make rudimentary #vaporwave backgrounds in a few different color schemes! Pretty happy with how it turned out:

As with any jam, I had to cut one or two things here or there, but I'm happy to say I got everything finished for the main story of Frozen Over: A #text-based story (Console App) about a man stuck btwn life and death in a fake holiday party. Proud of this one.

Currently working on a small text-adventure that should be out later this week on #itchio. It's a week-long project for a class, so nothing too big, but it's been fun to brush up on my narrative skills!

Welp, I finally had a #gamejam go badly for me. Too bad it was for a grade lol. It's... salvagable, but turing it into what I wanted will take a little while. Just how it goes sometimes. Something to look forward to for winter break now!

I know it's not much in the grand scheme of things, but I've been celebrating 300 total views of my projects on Itch today!
It's been so fun trying out game jams and getting out of my comfort zone by posting other works. Here's to future projects and jams can't wait to see how it goes!

Fighting the urge to message my ex. Not "I miss you", more like #gamedev student asking #compsci student if they need to vent about all the tech layoffs this year.
To any college student who sees this, I wish you a sucessful job search whenever you graduate. I'm scared what it'll look like too.
