I’m pretty surprised at how smoothly things are going considering this is my third game jam and didn’t complete the first one. I’m working solo, Pretty much done animating the character and adding basic functions for the Player. Running, walking, jumping, etc. The scenery is also done. The only thing left is the UI, Level design, sound, and puzzles. Then I’m off to send it out for playtesting.

edit: I just knew things wouldn’t go so smoothly at the end, unity just decided to f my project and now it takes 20-30 sec to reload a script assembly. Editing scripts have become completely unbearable

Yeah I wish that was me XD. This jam has been tough for me, but I am glad to have a finished game and I still have some time for polish.

I was hopping I was going to get to make more animations, but I still need to make 2 more characters + core game loop, so that's most likely not happening.

You still have time, don't give up! Plus there's always next time.

This is my first game Jam and hopefully first game ever made. I undoubtedly learned tones of new stuff but it was really hard. 4th day I was about to quit jam because i had way too ambicious project and messy idea how is it supposed to look like. Yesterday i decided to abandon my old project and start new one using only some lines of code and ofcourse gained experience from the old one. Now its looking better and better. Now I have very litle time to polish everything. But hopefully the game will be fun.

Honestly that sounds amazing, the amount of willpower it takes to quit a project and then start up a new one is actually really inspiring that you did it on your first ever jam. I hope you do well on the jam!

Fun but stressful. First time ever making a game without a tutorial. Took hours to do and not the best, but I'm proud of it.

Submitted

Yup I am in a similar boat, I used a lot of my knowledge this time rather than following a tutorial. Of course A few times I needed help with the syntax so discord was perfect for that.

I just founded it, it's awesome though

Submitted

If by founded you mean you finished your game, then congratulations!

Oh, I mean, I just founded this game jam. I didn't know that the brackeys still making game jams, thanks to him though :)

Submitted

oh ok.

I’ve ditched my original idea and starting with a new one. Seems like the right thing with only 2 days left. ;)

Submitted

Yeah sometimes that's jsut how it works, but great job for not giving up!

Submitted(+1)

It's been really stressful for me especially after unity could not load the main level so I had to do the entire level again but luckily I still had the scripts but aside from that I've finished the game and I can rest now

Submitted

Wow that does sound stressful. but Congratulations on finishing your game!

Submitted

Thanks

It's okay - Gameplay Loop is done (more like a linear storyline Start -> End)
Tomorrow is all about polishing, playtesting and little improvements!

Submitted

Yeah that's a good way to work on jam games. I have also followed a similar workflow. Good luck!
