Two months ago, I decided to make a change and start learning. I happened upon a Humble Bundle with a bunch of game dev courses and easily justified the purchase. I took off work every other Friday to dedicate to learning and quickly became engrossed in Unity, C#, and game development. \n\nUp until this weekend, the extent of my creation has been closely following coursework. I made 5 projects in 2D with varying levels of complexity and new concepts. But I knew I had to make something on my own to put these skills to the test. I have friends that do game jams, so I decided to jump into the deep end. And here we are!\n\nThis weekend (and the days following) have been a rollercoaster of emotion. Reading feedback, watching streamers, and interacting with other developers has been a life-changing experience. I'm not ready to quit the day job (yet!), but I have gotten a taste of the best you all have to offer and I never want to give it up.\n\nIf you have the time, I'd love if you could check out my game: [One More Lap!](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/48\/one-more-lap) I prioritize playing the games of those that comment on mine. You all are so amazing and creative! \n\nI'd also like to give a shoutout to my friends of over 10 years - John and Corey - who teamed up to make a boppin' track for the game. I've been a fan of their work as long as I've known them and I was ecstatic to have their talent for a project. \n\nYou can find John on [bandcamp](https:\/\/johnpraw.bandcamp.com\/) and Corey also on [bandcamp](https:\/\/lovelysocialitemusic.bandcamp.com\/). Bonus! You can download the MP3 from the game here: [Soundcloud](https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/johnpraw\/one-more-lap-ludum-dare-48-john-praw-corey-murphy)\n\n![OML_screenshot_panorama_small.png](\/\/\/raw\/230\/a3\/z\/3d1a7.png)\u200b\n\nThanks for being an amazing community!
