  • This gamejam was like a series of unfortunate events, gamedev edition. Game development is always hard, but this game was rough. Between myself, the pixel artist, and the game musician we had major issues pop up all along the development of this game. This game was for VimJam4 an annual gamejam that happens once per year.

      I am pretty happy with the result. It's not bad, but the memories will make me think twice about next year's vimjam. (I'm sure I'll still do it next year, but I'll think twice about it before joining.😅)

      I can only assume that HelperWesley has meticulously avoided the Sonic fandom for years, if not decades. And if that assumption is true, I do not blame him.
