I Guess i will need to polish my Framework a little more... SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS

[Hotshot]

I have to try make one and put things together

[Optimus]

Wow, I got two compos invs in my email today. One for a spectrum party and then this (besides my android entry for ludum dare I never started and should finish in 1st of November). It's gonna be intersting
I've also just started working on a full time contract project with my brother now, so I don't know about time.
But I have some ideas I want to try with this. Let's hope I will be available and motivated to finish any of these in time.

Useless trivia: Iirc, in no christmas or halloween contest of dbf have I manage to participate before. I don't like that much the seasonal themes, but at least halloween is a bit better than christmas because of the paranormal theme.

I love these seasonal comps. Good vibes
