Development info:

This game was made with the utmost focus on learning the newly released game-development engine "RPG developer Bakin" (in early access)

I technically made it for the santa cruz ballet nutcracker jam of 2022... but since the Jam has a wholesome, all-ages audience, I decided not to  submit this to the Jam. The game was still made in less than 21 days in accordance with the Jam's timeframe.

This is the first time I've ever been able to work in a 3D space + concern myself with a camera. I experiment with a handful of different camera angles + amount of player control over the camera, so the camerawork isn't the best. I hope the story itself is amusing/entertaining enough that you'll forgive all sins 🙏
