Hey everyone, here are some tips and tricks to help you out!
- Keep it simple: It's easy to get carried away with grandiose ideas, but it's important to remember that you only have a limited amount of time to work on your game. Stick to a simple concept that you can execute well within the time frame.
- Work in a team: Game jams are a great opportunity to work with other people and collaborate on a project. Make sure to communicate clearly and divide tasks evenly among team members.
- Use existing assets (optional): Instead of creating everything from scratch, consider using existing assets such as open source art, music, and sound effects.
- Test early and often: Make sure to test your game frequently throughout the development process to catch any bugs or issues early on.
- Prioritize and be flexible: Make a list of all the features you want to include in your game, and prioritize them based on how important they are to the overall experience. Be prepared to cut or adjust features if necessary to meet the deadline.
- Have fun! Remember that the main goal of a game jam is to have fun and push yourself creatively. Don't be too hard on yourself and enjoy the experience
