Hey Duck Duck Jammers!
Whether it's your first time diving into a game jam or you're a seasoned jammer, here are some nuggets of wisdom that have served me well across numerous jams:
- Submit Early
Don't wait until the last minute! You can submit your game and still update it before the submission deadline. Avoid the panic of being 99% done but missing the deadline by just that 1% still in progress. - Choose Your Engine Wisely
I've seen too many teams disband or submit lackluster games because they got bogged down in engine development during the jam. My advice? Have your engine ready to go before the jam starts. This way, you can focus all your energy on creating your game. - Be Kind
Remember, the game development community is tight-knit. Winning a game jam by undermining others is not only unsporting, it's shortsighted. People might forget the specifics of your game, but they鈥檒l always remember how you treated them. Let鈥檚 make this a supportive and friendly competition!
Looking forward to seeing the creativity and collaboration that I know this community is all about. Let鈥檚 make this Duck Duck Jam one to remember!
Happy Jamming!
