My first game jam where I managed to get past writer’s block and submit, right on!! Not nearly the game I planned as I removed a lot of content in the end but it’s submitted. My goal was just to finish, no matter how bad the outcome. Now that this hurdle has been crossed, next jam I can shoot for more polish.

My target was to create a text adventure where the hero has to save the princess but each room only has two doors so making good decisions is critical. Started with a large idea for the game map with lots of rooms with even more twists and turns. First lesson: don’t think so big with a 72 hour window. In the end, I dropped a lot of content so the game is 1/5th of what I wanted to do but it is indeed finished.

That was really, really fun.
