Today I managed to get in the most jacked up and incomplete submission I've ever done for ToJam. Despite the absolute state it's in I am pleased I managed to pull it off despite the extreme difficulty I had with it.

#TOJAM Game just launched! I did most of the spritework and another artist was in charge of cinematics.

This year's ToJam has been rough. Making an online game has brought in a lot of interesting challenges but most of the difficulty has come down to two things

* Splitting code across two separate programs is much more mentally taxing
* All sorts of external chaos has made focus difficult

The project is technically functional but it is missing a ton of essentials still. If I do get it done on time it's going to be down to the wire 😅
