Last night I did a three-hour mini-jam as a warm-up for Ludum Dare 34. Somehow, with all the flies I’ve been swatting recently, I ended up making a fly-swatting game. Art imitates life?

I hope having this all in place will make life a lot easier than my last jam. That one was a whole ten days, butI spent four learning Unity, three doing things the hard way, and three wishing I had found Tiled+tiled2unity earlier.

\n

I wish the best to everyone participating!
