Some sage advice...

Hey folks! I'm happy to say I'm joining this jam, making it my second Ludum Dare attempt and first time doing so working with Unity.

I figured I'd pass along some tips that even I forget sometimes:

  • Take breaks. Even if it's just walking back and forth from the kitchen to get a beverage (see next tip), giving your eyes a rest and stretching will do dramatically improve your productivity!

  • Keep hydrated and nourished! Whatever your beverage or snack of choice may be, make sure you have enough to enjoy during the event. :)

  • Sleep is a friend that you might hate in the moment, but you'll thank yourself for getting some of it later.

  • KISS. It's better to be able to add features later than to start with loads of "key components" and have them all be only half-functional or buggy.

  • This kinda goes with number 1,but get some fresh air! It does wonders for the brain.

  • Cliché though this may be, I'm still gonna say it: Have fun! You're doing what many others wouldn't even attempt, which makes you pretty awesome.

Good luck out there and happy jamming!
