Your Big Breakthrough was created as a team of 3 in a custom engine for the Out of Office Game Jam, where we were given the span of a week to create a game aligning with the theme of "Everything Must Go"! Our team decided on interpreting the theme into our game as "purging" your room to try and rid of your negative emotions, but things don't go exactly as planned :)

I helped in creating the 2D artwork and UI seen in the game, following the direction of a "grungy-cute" scribbly and sketchy visual style, which I had felt would match the game's story of destruction and negativity influencing the character. We wanted to keep our scope balanced for the time we had, alongside working in a custom engine and having narrative in our game, so going with a simple but visually fun style really assisted with what we were able to accomplish for the final result!

Some of my main takeaways from the jam were learning best practices with creating assets for a custom engine, helping to create a visual novel game for the first time, and additionally allowing myself to experiment stylistically to pair up with the theme of a game!
