This feels like a whole character arc, but as an artwork. I wanted to participate in GB Jam 2025. The theme this year was "Balance." I was unaware of the jam last year and missed it. So, I waited almost an entire year to be part of it this time. I went in with optimism, but I was NOT prepared. I didnt clearly plan out or do a rough sketch of my idea. Due to that, I figured out most the design on the fly and made several changes and adjustments to refine sprites. That was a huge time waster, especially when you only have 2 days. I also did not use a grid pattern tool, and mostly chose to ignore the tileset restriction of the gameboy thinking, "I'll be fine as long as I dont add too much stuff." I ended up hitting the 192 unique tiles limit much faster than expected. Lastly, since this was my time participating, I didn't really know how to submit on itch.io, and just started the process to submit my piece with only 2 minutes till the deadline. Yeah, I either did something wrong and didnt submit correctly or submitted right after the deadline. So basically, i missed being apart of the jam. On top that, I was not that proud of the piece i made. After some reflection, I decided to remake the same idea with the same restrictions as the jam except for the 2 day time limit; turning it into a comparison piece, contrasting my 2 attempts. This time correcting most of my mistakes. Next year I will be more prepared.-------------The 1st attempt had 180 unique tiles, while my 2nd had 189 unique tiles.
