(edit : crikey, I've bamboozled myself and mistaken 24 hours to 12 hours, I'm quite an idiot :/)
First of all, Please execuse my bad english. English isn't my native language, Thank you.
Name's Zik, I'm preparing (kinda) for the college & university and my ultimate goal is to spread those gamedev know-hows to everyone who wants to make & improve their games!
I've began developer's career when I was like, 15? and I used gamemaker. Wee-lad me was just trying to make my own little cybertoys at the moment, lol.
Years of hardcore coding later, (merely) an year ago I've discovered the itch.io, And GMTK. They're one of my life's greatest landmarks I say.
And now, I'm developing my personal projects like tech demo and my magnum opus, At the same time I'm drawing various stuffs whenever I got inspired.
About the game --
After the jam has begun, I solo'd everything. I rushed & coded my first prototype. It was about choosing one character that had unique ability to fight in the wave-based arcade game.. But there was a problem;
While I was prototyping, I've gotten a great concern of not being able to finish all of my design goals & only thing that has adherence to the theme was the choose one character gimmick.
So, I've decided to overhaul everything and choose to develop smaller, do-able game. only merely 24 hours were left.
I've brainstormed for another good hours.. Then I've come to the conclusion of the game in which you "Compromise" the distance with your own projectile. I've brainstormed yet another time to build more mechanics upon that, Like adding the ability to deter away the bullet & mobs that can be killed with the projectile.
So that's how my game were created; It was quite a rushed project made in span of 24 hours (excluding the designing time & time when I had to go outdoors to do some library stuff etc..)
There was several design mistakes, But I'm really, very happy with the result I managed to pull off.
Plust, Thanks to this jam I could compose my (simple) music for the first time in my life, And not to mention that I've met so many awesome folks here. It was very fun & new experience overall.
