I'm really happy with how my game went. Honestly really impressed with myself that I managed to put this together in about a week. It was gratifying in several ways, I've wanted to tell stories like the ones you can tell with One Trillion Years for a while now and it feels nice to get that creative energy off my chest. I don't know if I would have gotten the chance if not for this game jam and its theme.

I'm also really looking forward to playing these games. Already got myself a few, including Orichalcum! It looks great so far.

Ah I had like the opposite experience as you justinquirit. My writing schedule had me booked until the last few days of the jam. I'm really happy with my idea, and how the bones of my game turned out, but I could have used more time for polish/art/layout. Can't wait to read your entries!

I actually liked that the time frame for this jam was kinda tight. It meant I had to constrain my concept instead of trying to throw in the kitchen sink as I sometimes feel tempted to do. 

It’s also the first time I really engaged with map games and I really liked it! It speaks to some child-like fascination with drawing and letting my imagination run wild looking at real or fictional maps.

I’m also super impressed by a lot of the submissions I saw. Will make some time to check them out in depth.

Team Laiv.it has strained practically every last drop of time out of Mapemounde for Endtime Year 21. Since we were working in Italian, we didn't think we'd manage to deliver the game in two different languages, and with snazzy graphics on top of it all. But we're a well-oiled machine, and most of all... We got carried away.
The jam had the perfect timing, right as we played a few map-based games. The chance for a light narrative structure and a physical element to play around with were both very familiar to us chamber larpers.
In the end, it was a brief experience, but an intense one... Shattering, even. But we're happy of what came out of it and we can't wait to try it out.

Thanks to the organizers for the spark and to the participants for fuelling the fire.

This is my first time, so I'm not sure that I've made a good thing; but it is a finished thing, and that's my takeaway. I'm so prone to letting a thing accrete lots of potential ideas and dwell for so long it becomes inert, it's been really beneficial to have the start and end defined for me. No time to work out if the idea is worth going with, it's the best thing I've got so do as much as I can with it and bang, go.

This was my first one, and I found the schedule super tight!

I think that was a good thing in the end, it helped contain my concept to a very focused idea.  This is the first time I've made anything that can be considered a "solo game" and I think it came out okay.

I might give it some additional revisions and expand it into a proper multiplayer game sometime in the future but, for now, it is what it is.

This was my first Itch.io game jam. I was trying to upload my game at the last minute and there was an error. My game was submitted but with no file uploaded. I wasn't sure what to do so I put it in a google drive link in the description. But I think I made a cool thing.

The 10 days timespan is great, but I really wanted two weekend into the jam instead that just one.

This actually won't really matter for this year since my idea comes to me 16hours before the deadline and I rush into the night to finish and deliver it.

It was a lot of fun :D
