Witchy Forest Spooky Tea Time!

Witchy Forest Spooky Tea Time!

My latest horror jam game! I went for like, "Cozy horror" vibes. I really tried to stretch the engine this time. I've been slowly getting a handle on the button image plugin and tried to make a whole mini game / crafting sequence in this one! Gained some grey hairs and have a lot of sleep debt to catch up on but I feel pretty happy with how it turned out. I know this engine is versatile and I think I'm finally starting to really hit the edges of what it's capable of doing haha.

But I had a lot of fun making this for the latest RPG Maker Horror Jam! The witching hour! There's some really cool looking games starting to be turned in.

Trying for "Cozy" Horror

Cozy horror is a thing right? Like in my head games like Dredge or spooky crafting games hit that weird niche. I tried to make a tea making cozy game with a horror twist, set in the 1600s.

I've been doing a lot of jam games the last few years and every game they get a little bigger and a little more complex haha. I kept this one limited in location but it still ended up being my most convoluted game, programming wise. But it's so satisfying having done everything. Even the font. I love making fonts tbh, it's good fun.

And I really need to step up my music game, I fear I'm at the point where my low skill with music creation is kind of bringing down my entire project. But I'm SO happy to be mostly done with this. I drank (ironically) a truly insane amount of tea while making this lol. I'm SO tired. But got it done in time.
