I’m doing it again. Every game jam I tell myself to do it differently, and every game jam I end up making the same mistakes. Then I tell myself ‘Next jam, I’ve got to do it differently’.

My problem is, I always get carried away with pretty graphics & never put enough effort into the actual gameplay. I end up with something that looks lovely, but is boring as hell to play.

We’re over halfway through & I have a nice looking character model, theme music and a lovely menu screen:

What I don’t have is much in the way of actual gameplay. Worse than that, I’m starting to suspect that my idea will be more difficult to implement & less fun to play than I had originally thought.

Oh well – Next jam I’ll do it differently!
