yeah i joined at the beginning and everything and had to use my much less powerful laptop as my desktops hdd just died. I lost everything.
My first idea was great and well planned for the time i had available, on my way to finish within 30 hours and then my laptop started slowing down so much in the editor and i couldnt carry on with the idea. by that time i only had 3 days left and had already made commitments based on the estimated completion time of the first idea.
So if anyone knows how to use tilemaps and stuff that doesnt just kill the performance of the editor that would be greatly appreciated. And i look forward to completing the next jam as this was my first one.
I have been making small stupid games with basic mechanics. It would be nice to team up with someone who could help me learn new ways of doing things. It's also my first game jam and don't really know what to expect. Is it better to team up with someone or learn by yourself in a game jam?
I think im going to do this thing. after making 2 really short games with no story and just getting mechanics right, i am ready to put that small amount of knowledge to use. It also forces you to learn new things. I have never used animations or music or sound in my projects so hopefully I'll be able to learn how to implement them in this. I say go for it, cause im sure there are lots of newbies here.
