this was impressive for a jam game. I mean everything looked great, the humor was on point. Especially the email from the mom lol. I think I had the most fun with the humor of the game, which I’ll be honest in most games I always skip the reading, but since this game was all about reading I actually found it fun. And I loved the operating system look and feel. I hope more people play the game because it’s definitely one of the more unique takes I’ve seen for this game jam. Also cool to see a gamemaker game. I used godot this time around but I’ve used gamemaker a lot for previous jams and a long term game project I’m working on

Thank you so much! It makes sense that you had fun with the humor, because that's what I had the most fun doing for the game :) I am a color palette freak, so I really needed to find some cool colors for the interface too, and that took me quite some time. I really appreciate your comment because not releasing a web build in time meant that my game was pretty much invisible to most people, which of course is to be expected.
I haven't used any engines other than GM (with the exception of some custom engines I made in GW-Basic about three decades ago, lol) and I don't think I will, to be honest! It's hard enough learning one of them :) Good luck with your long-term project!
