Thank you for sharing, and congratulations for your game.
With it being my first jam, I was expecting to have a low rated game that barely gets any notice, I could not have been more wrong. Everyone I have engaged with has been positive and supportive and I'm glad I participated and engaged with the jam.
I would definitely like to see a devlog of your story. Personally, I don't have the confidence to break into YouTube yet, maybe one day, but not today. I'm thinking of doing a devlog post on itch though, to keep a record of my experience.
Like you I have really enjoyed participating in the jam, from making the game to playing and rating so many others.
And you're already planning for next year's jam, I wonder if that's how you did so well :P
