Wow, the 'vertical slice'—I love it! It’s such a spot-on solution. I’m deeply grateful you sacrificed your time to write such detailed guidance for me, and I hope these valuable insights can be shared with other developers too. Thank you so much!
I am more than happy to be of assistance and to help everyone as much as I possibly can! I wish you all the best with your team, the jam, and your games :)
Also if you have any constructive feedback and criticism - feel free to share them too! It will not just help me a lot to learn and improve, but to also make the game better for other people!
