First ever game and first ever game jam

Hi folks,

This is my very first game and game jam ever, and so far I’ve been pleased and honoured to be part of it.

I am not asking for ratings or comments, please do as you feel right. The fact that I managed to find motivation, strength and energy to complete the challenge on time is already a huge reward.

I thank the whole community, and especially all the people making great tutorials, developers, the GDevelop staff and all passionate people. I ate a lot of those these last two days! I litterally began learning GDevelop with this game jam.

I’m not a game dev yet, just a recent PhD wondering what I want to do with my life - and game developing is appealing.

If you find the time, or if you want to try it out, the link is here.

Take care!

same story here - first ever game created and published and first jam and new to gdevelop for around 2 weeks. The fact that we were able to participate in a game jam submitting a full working game from A to Z while learning the engine in less than few weeks is something beyond unity’s or unreal’s and even godot’s comprehension, gdevelop is really great. I’ll check your game. You can take a look at my game as well kitty falls

I dit a bit of Unreal and Unity too, but it’s not comparable. GDevelop doesn’t aim to be like those - they are far more complex. I’m not a game dev, but I am already a dev, mainly Java/Android and PHP/JS, so I have the “dev-way” of thinking things - I assume it helps a lot.

I think GDevelop is a good option to start game development, as a starter engine to get acquainted with game design, concepts, etc in a simpler manner, to be then able to move to a more powerful engine.

I checked your game, it is a bit disturbing XD
