I've really enjoyed the community aspect of the game jam a lot! It's great to have people to encourage you along the way, and even if there aren't any real consequences to not finishing, knowing you've committed to something is a real motivator.
I've actually been feeling happier and more creative working on this game then I have in a long time, so I'm really grateful for that.
To be honest, we haven't really made that much progress on our game. I work full time and I'm a pretty low-energy person so it's been hard to find the time/motivation to work very much, although I feel good about the fact that I've been working at least some every day. This week I'm gonna try some new tricks to get myself to be more productive. Tomorrow in planning on going to a coffee shop after work and getting some work done there, where there are fewer distractions than at home. We'll see how that goes.
I'm also gonna try really hard to stop getting distracted by messing around with Internet stuff and really get into the substance of the game so we'll have something worth playing by the end of the week
