I have very little experience in game development\u2014only about three months\u2014so my main goal was simply to release any game at all so that in the future, as I continue to join jams, I can track my progress.\n\nOn the first day, when the jam just started, I was unsure of myself and even questioned whether I should participate. But I decided I had nothing to lose, so I gave it a shot. Within the first few hours, I realized that it was a good decision. I discovered that creating animations wasn\u2019t as hard as I had thought, and I even started to enjoy the process. I felt satisfied with my progress because, initially, I had feared I wouldn\u2019t be able to handle anything at all.\n\nAfter gaining a bit of confidence, I began working on the core mechanics of my game.

By the end of the first day, my game didn\u2019t even have gameplay yet. But I was determined to see it through, and on the second day, I started working with the belief that I could make it work.\n\nUnfortunately for me, I had to step away from the project for about five hours, and because I lost so much time and had little experience in game development, my game didn\u2019t turn out as exciting as I had hoped.\n\nDespite this, I\u2019m very glad I participated, and now I\u2019m motivated to make sure my next game jam entry is much better. I\u2019d also like to give a special shout-out to @xk-the-name for inspiring me to take part.\n![Screenshot_1.png](\/\/\/raw\/8b2\/16\/z\/661f9.png)","comments":0,"created":"2024-10-07T11:16:17Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":403534,"love":4,"love-timestamp":"2024-10-08T03:05:42Z","meta":[],"modified":"2024-10-08T03:05:42Z","name":"It was my first jam","node-timestamp":"2024-10-07T11:22:39Z","parent":398009,"parents":[1,5,9,395186,398009],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/56\/paper-war\/it-was-my-first-jam","published":"2024-10-07T11:22:39Z","scope":"public","slug":"it-was-my-first-jam","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":1256285},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"403534","n_urlkey":"446172","n_parent":"398009","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/56\/paper-war\/it-was-my-first-jam","n_slug":"it-was-my-first-jam","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"398008","n_created":"1728299777","n_modified":"1728356742","n_version":"1256285","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/56\/paper-war\/it-was-my-first-jam","text":"This was my first time participating in a game jam.
