Is this your first game jam? What did you learned? Will you join other game jams too?

I definitely will, I fell in love with game jams, that was a fun 48 hours.  But next time I will search for a team, I think it will be even more fun!

Also link your game, i will play them tomorrow. Dont forget to try mine :D

Here is my first jam and platformer game, with deadly overpowered power-ups and challenging 11 levels. Try it if you want: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462865

This is my first jam too! It's been an amazing experience so I definitely plan on trying some others. Since I was on a team this time, I'll probably ease into doing one without a team.

My game if you're interested :)

Same for out team; furthermore, it's our first released game as well!

We had some minor hackathon experience however (1-2 hackathons depending on the person), so coding under pressure of time was not a first for us, but I still think we've got a lot to learn about working in conditions like these ;)

The bigger hurdle for us was that we've never really done game design/programming and none of us had any real C# experience (with two out of four of us never having written a single line in C# !), which we had to use, writing in Monogame, so it was a constant learning experience with a lot of tutorial and documentation reading along the way.

Still, we've had a lot of fun, and I think we'll be looking forward to participating in some other jams over the year, in preparation for the next GMTK jam, of course! ;)
