Well, this Game Jam was a real challenge for me. You know that feeling of being on a roller coaster, where you don't know if you're going to scream with joy or fear? That's exactly how I felt throughout the process of creating this game.
Every moment there were new ideas, new challenges and many, many laughs. And of course many moments of “creative despair”, those in which we ask ourselves “why did I choose to participate in this?”.
But at the end of the day, when I managed to finish the game within the Game Jam deadline, I felt an indescribable feeling. It was like climbing Everest (or maybe just a small hill, but still, it was a victory!).
And now, when I look back at all the effort and hard work I put into this project, I can only laugh. Laughing at my failed attempts at making sprites out of bacteria, laughing at sleepless nights coding, and laughing at the times I thought about giving up.
But most importantly, I now have a fun and challenging game to share with the world. And if you're also facing a challenge, be it Game Jam or any other area of life, don't give up! At the end of the day, the thrill of overcoming is what makes it worthwhile.
