How does your game fit the theme?
The game revolves around the idea of being under a constant deadline + doing small side things which also have to be completed in their own deadline, hence the countdown: how much time you have to do your objectives

Wonderful concept~ 
Can't draw very well with a mouse, but the game was forgiving enough ^^;
unlike the deadlines...

Submitted

There were a few bugs but the art and story was amazing!! 5/5 art and narrative :)

Submitted

Really nice game! I like the atmosphere. Well done!

Submitted

Shockingly stressful! The story is great, art is AMAZING, and I like that draw time is only consumed by actually drawing. I did notice some bugs--in case you keep working on this (which I hope you do!): drawing did not stop when mouse button was released and sometimes froze the game entirely (this ended both my plays, unfortunately), and some UI buttons stayed on screen blocking other elements (spend time with Amanda/doomscroll). This is such a good concept. Thank you for sharing this!

Submitted

Really liked it, love the art, the music and the story, the gui sometimes got confusing, so i advise you to try making buttons more "feedbacky" lol, and more sathisfhying (i still don't know how to write it AHAHHA) to press or to hover the mouse on, a nice unique font would've also been a nice touch! I really hope i can help with these feedbacks to improve this game and your future one's , but other than that, the narrative was pretty engaging, i'm probably going to open sumbission thanks to this game lol

oh yeah, also loved the cat, he was such a stupid cute patootieeajfskfjf

Submitted

The art looked great! Sadly my game froze when I pressed the eraser and earlier there were a few weird bugs like buttons overlapping each other and my drawing being displayed on the full room screen. Great story though, just a few things you have to fix!

Submitted

really awesome game! picked up my stylus really hoping it would work XD but had fun either way!

Dang, I didn't think about making stylus work, but I'll definitely do that after the jam ends!

Thanks for playing!

The game broke on me :(  Sometimes the art layered in a wrong way and the commissions too, I also never got money for them
Otherwise the game is very cute (Especially the cat) and a fixed version would be enjoyable!

Here is a depiction of the house I drew before the game didn't fade out of a blackscreen anymore

The game is really fun and really good but idk how i draw and this happened. Can you play at my game pls ?

Submitted

wow realy filled game

Submitted

The art is stunning, really amazing work. The game being almost a meta commentary on the game jam is clever too! The game has some amazing concepts, and while it was pretty ambitious, I would love you a more final version :)
Really great work!

Submitted

Needs some bug fixes, some proofreading and some polish. Otherwise, a really great game about the personal struggles of trying to create art for a living.

Submitted

Very creative project! I really liked the visual style. While playing, it reminded me of drawing sprites for my own game during this jam :) It would be great to add a volume control, but that's more of a polishing thing at this point. Overall, a really solid project!

Submitted

Very nice to play. The only issue I am having is that the ui elements sometimes overlap or don't work properly. The visuals are excellent. Well done.

Submitted

Love the game! Nice artwork, lovely story, and really fun lil resource management game. Text font could do a bit of tweaking but other than that it's a fun experience.

Submitted

Really lovely concept and story but I think the UI could use some work! Everything felt a bit cluttered and sometimes things would overlap. I think simplifying the UI a bit or shortening/ making the text a bit smaller could help. I love drawing so I did enjoy the game haha!

Yay a game where I can doomscroll for 27 hours!
I loved the aesthetic! Well done!

Developer

Dopamine. Need more dopamine. 27hours isn't enough.

Thanks for playing!

Game is great I was able to draw a super hero and a cat but, I found a bug where I opened multiple things at once like i had a commision opened and i could sleep or hand out with amanda. Artwork looks great and amazing take on the theme

Developer

Sorry about the bug, we'll try to do something about it after the jam. Thank you for giving the game a shot!

I'm I playing a masterpiece ? 5 stars, you deserve this everything looks damn good, art, story, gameplay, nah that too creative!

Developer

M-masterpiece? Gosh, you're too kind...

Thank you for those words from the bottom of my heart!

Absolutely gorgeous game with a crazy amount of content for a game jam game! Tragically I think I broke the UI in a way that softlocked me where the drawing screen and the room screen both became active at the same time.  But before that happened it was a blast and very pretty! Excellent work, very cool game.

Developer

I'm sorry to hear about the bug you've experienced, but I'm glad that you had a good time while it lasted!
