Hey everyone!

We just wrapped up our game, Octopi Adventure, for the GMTK Game Jam 2024, and we wanted to share a bit about our journey. This was our first time working together as a team, and for most of us, it was our very first foray into game development.

At the start, things were pretty chaotic. Managing the project and juggling resources felt overwhelming, and we found ourselves second-guessing decisions and stretching out deadlines. It was all new to us, and the learning curve was steep.

But here’s the silver lining: we found our groove! As we got into the swing of things, we figured out how to play to each other’s strengths. Some talents were obvious from the get-go, while others took a bit more time to surface.

Even though we were racing against the clock and faced our fair share of challenges, we’re really proud of what we pulled off. The goal for us wasn’t just to make the best game ever; it was about learning to work as a team and figuring out how to maximize our individual skills.

We had a blast creating this game, and we hope it brings a smile to your face if you give it a try. Thanks for following our journey and for your support. Here’s to more adventures and game jams ahead!

Catch you later!
