Got my first LD submission wrapped up yesterday. I had a lot of fun, thought I'd write up some quick thoughts I had while they're still fresh in my mind.

I wasted some five hours on Friday night going in circles on what idea to do. I had written down some basic ideas for each of the last round themes so I wouldn't be completely blank at the start but I ended up second guessing myself a lot. I ended up going with something very similar to my original note but was a big demotivator with "this is too simple no-one will enjoy it" thoughts.

Once I did get going I had a lot of fun. I think the art came out pretty cute and friends commenting on the chain idea as a visual makes me happy I got that in. Leaving Monday (minus work day eating up hours) to do things like the title screen and settings felt like the right idea and made it less stressful trying to get those in.

I've not done such a short duration jam before. The closest thing was a week long jam almost ten years ago. Think I'll definitely take part again! On to playing other people's games and rating!
