I don't know how you made this in a week, but respect.
Thanks,
I mashed up some tiles from my older project “Ghost Lantern” with some resources I already owned like “RMBoy” tiles-pack by Unpropro and “Nostalgia” tiles-pack by Ocean Dreams.
The music I made from scratch in Klystrack, I really cut them short so they could loop seamlessly.
I made the other characters including faces from heavily editing the girl, Jane. It looked like they where one family because of this. Which led me to get the idea of having a family of thieves, since nothing stays forever why not steal what you can. 😉
The game itself had to then come together in under 2 days. Honestly I did not sleep the night before submission and spent over 10 hours bringing everything together. Luckily I had some experience already with RPG Maker from a lot of small test prototypes and some weird unusual games (namely “Ghost Lantern”).
This was sort of a revival of what I had wanted to accomplish in “Ghost Lantern” my bring out your dead game submission here on itch.io
