Now that the jam is finished, what do you feel about how it went? Was it challenging? Eye-opening? Fun? 

-double post-

I feel fulfilled for participating, I had so many unforeseen events in the week of production, but having something finished for the first time is a good feeling.
I loved rankings week too, as soon as the jam ended the first thing I did was take a look at each game. I wish I had rated it more, but the week went by faster than I expected.
Now I'm going to focus on fixing the errors, and turning the learning into something.

Dunno why a lot of this jam mechanics are time-based or "divided characters work together". time is the most unfriendly thing in the world (said me) and dividing player agency like that rarely makes sense in this scale of the project 

i feel really good about actually finishing something to a degree to submit it - there were a lot of things that i learned for how i want my workflow to be in the future, and having a push to actually familiarize with all these new programs gives me a really excited sense of motivation. i cannot wait to compare future endeavors to this first one: the community and devs have been so lovely to talk to, as well, and im so impressed by the jam games! it was a very warm welcome and excited to continue!

Unfortunately I couldnt get my game finished, but I got something special that I can show in the future.
Also, this is the first time I played ALL the games from a GAME JAM.
definitely a good experience.

I feel happy I got a modestly-ambitious project finished (even if I was scrambling during the last hours to finish it!) Now I have a base to build something bigger off of. And since it was intended as a philosophically-flavored showcase for my music and my friend's art, I'm glad people really appreciated those elements, and I think it succeeded!
