i am taking part in my first game jam , i wanted to to know how i make a complete game for the jam . i am fairly okay with unity but always get stuck on prototypes for games because they usually break and don't work . i wanted to know how i make a full game this time

I've found AI to be a useful resource when im trying to brainstorm the functions in my game. like for example if i want a gameobject to orbit around another game object without breaking or not working, ill ask an ai like chatgpt, "using unity, what is a clean and reliable way to make X object do Y action." and itll write out for you a step by step instruction guide. and if it gives you something unclear, you can ask it to clarify that specific point for you. Very useful tool for game developing. 

thanks a lot , will use it this time

To be fair, all game jam games are more or less prototypes. Just focus on core mechanics and hard crashes. It doesn't have to look pretty but it should be playable.
