I have a game that I am focusing on currently. And I started developing the game sometime in the beginning of January but released it at the end of March. So I released it exactly two weeks before the jam started. So now I was looking for jams that allowed games not made within the timeframe but there were almost none. I just wanted to be part of a jam, you know, without having to start a game from scratch, lol.
Basically, I am terrible at time management (why else would it take me like, three months to finish a platformer of all games? Lol) so I wouldn't be able to finish in nine days, I'm pretty sure. Or at least not without reusing a ton of assets, maybe every asset in my game? Also considering my interests wander a lot. When I am really focused on something, I absolutely hate it if someone asks me to break that focus and do something else. But after a day of focusing on one thing in particular, I don't want to do that thing again for the next few days (even if I have to finish by a deadline) and do something else completely different, and now obsessed with that. Rinse and repeat. I am definitely not jam-material, haha.
I also don't want to create a bunch of new games which I might not update due to me focusing on my main game. I could probably try reusing their mechanics in future games but oh well. So I am updating my platformer every few days and all. So I want to know if I am still eligible? I can still be in accordance with the theme if I create mirror-themed levels, I think? Maybe five mirror-themed levels would be okay.
