I already saw it coming that this year's TINS would require a high level of art, I don't have any tools to create. I decided not to participate anymore. Sorry everyone, but there will be no more open source games from me.
I'm going to be busy for the rest of the time programming as best I can, forgetting about any visual design, and regretting all the time for not doing the things I want to do.
Hey man, I never finish TINS or Krampus either.... but I'm not going to quit programming, don't give up your art Rmbeer, it's one of your greatest talents!
RmBeer2, I wouldn't give up the ghost yet. Sounds like you have a history of creating awesome works with the tools you currently have. Maybe apply your talents to a different program/genre .
Good Luck.
