Post-Jam Devlog | Post-Mortem (optional)
First of all: I love and appreciate every single one of you who have decided to check my game out. <3


My second ever game made. I THOUGHT I LEARNED MY LESSON FROM THE LAST GAME JAM AND I THOUGHT I SCOPED DOWN AGGRESSIVELY!! And even what I managed to push out was about half of my "small" plan lol.

Even though this was a pain to make, I suddenly feel really happy that I made this. Literally smiling while typing this lol.

I guess next time, I should:

look at similar game jams in the past and play the games submitted in it to get an idea as to how I should scope my game.

I also learnt the beauty of spending time to refactor your code when it gets too messy and you're having to work with like, seven layers of abstraction lol. Learnt a lot on how to manage complicated-ish code bases. Absolutely invaluable experience.

And also, I underestimated how big of a role execution plays over the idea. I think for my next game jam (if I do it alone), I'm going to make a simple game but polish the HELL out of it AND do some art too. This game was literally just all coding. So unfortunately, it isn't as pretty as I want it to be.

Also, I underestimated sound design too.

So much cool things I've learnt! Can't wait to join the next game jam ngl (after I take a short break 😭🙏)
