I am doing this like a guerilla fighter... after reading your post, I just realized i don't even allow save/load... and this morning I just realized my player is taking damages but it has no game over mechanism even at 100% damage LOL. But i am enjoying every moment of this process, guess this is the charm of a game jam :)

GameDev.tv Game Jam 2026 - Free Course For All Submissions! community · Posted in How are you getting on?
16+ Hours In: It's Playable!
And I survived the code wrestling...
Spent about 50% of my time fighting stubborn logic bugs and code roadblocks.
Went "temporarily" mad trying to get things to work and was this close to swearing at my screen.
Accidentally broke things twice by over-complicating it, but thank goodness for version control saving my skin!
Right now, I'm using placeholder art and music alongside some personal assets I purchased years ago but never actually used.
If time permit... plan is to swap out the placeholders for proper stock/owned assets after the mid-jam).
Almost forgot to mention, I'm incredibly grateful to GameDev.tv for hosting this Game Jam. I actually bought some of their courses via a
Humble Bundle a while back, but life got too busy and I never got around to using them. This jam finally pushed me to sit down and get a
playable prototype done!
I’m already really satisfied with what I’ve achieved so far, but I’m going to keep polishing until the deadline...
