FINISHED MY FIRST GAME JAM (a few hours ago but I forgot to write this)
Just finished my first ever game jam. feels great. I meant to write this, but I got too caught up playing other amazing games.
If you want to check it out it's here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/slime-exterminators
Its a small arcade style game where as you kill enemies in a top down shooter they explode into space-taking-up goo.
This has been so stressful, even though I have been pretty lucky on the bug/horrible mistakes side. However it really has been worth it, both to finally finish something after a long drought of starting over, and to actually put out something beyond the walls of my house, and get some feedback. Either way, I'd love to hear how other peoples firsts went!
I also wanted to say thanks to Blackthornprod who, although I'd been game Deving for years before, made a video about game jams that built up my resolve to try my first one!
