when you were creating your game, what had to be the hardest thing you had to overcome? for me personally, it was genuinely just not having enough time to spend at home LOL. spent all night up working on my game because I lost so many hours to other things already

I think the most difficult part was just figuring out how to organize so much stuff. Where things should go on the screen, what methods/variables belonged in which classes, etc. It didn't help that my laptop overheated and I wasn't able to revive it, lol.

LITERALLY SAME. when i heard the gamejam started last FRIDAY and I was still in SCHOOL I went right to brainstorming ideas. then from there it was just. a blur of a 2D workspace 馃槶

For me, it was definitely scope haha. I severely overestimated what I'd be able to accomplish on my own in just 48 hours, so I ended up having to cut a large portion of the ideas I had in order to get something working out.

Same, I think my group thought a little big with our idea, but we were able to get most of it done. Took a lot of hard work and missed sleep haha

THIS IS SOOO TRUUEEEEE. when i was brainstorming i had a bunch of different mechanics i wanted, like point bonuses for eating the same foods or showing an image of the final evolution when you win,, or an intro cutscene to make the premise more obvious. but i cut it ALL for some bare-bones gameplay and sucky menu UI LOL
