I hope your wish is granted.
Ya, I totally agree. Or as it has been said "the journey is the destination" or "the process is more important than the product". Of course, it is also satisfying to reach the milestone of finishing and submitting a project before the deadline as this is its own accomplishment in and of itself. So all around these are all good experiences and pursuits, each with their own reward. I agree, it's not about winning the gamejam but it's all about the participation in the gamejam. I look forward to reviewing and voting the entries; I always much enjoy seeing what others have created too.
Doesn't look like an extension is an option, that's totally ok. I hope to do better next time. Like one of the participants in this gamejam commented of their own submitted game: "It needs polishing but better than nothing". Next time I hope to submit something (even if not refined) instead of nothing; lesson learned. I am finding that one of the biggest challenges in any gamejam is the limited time factor, not only the time limit of the gamejam itself, but also how other unrelated time demands emerge and compete for one's available time, sometimes "out of the blue" and totally unexpected. Even so, it was still fun participating in this gamejam, and I look forward to its next iteration! In the meantime until then, I hope and expect that my programming skills will only continue to improve through continued practice over time, which will better prepare me for the next gamejam. Congrats to everyone who was able to complete a project and upload it as an entry, well done and I am inspired and motivated by your success!
Hi!
I hope to do better next time. <--- The next BASIC Jam will be in Dec.(If I have time)
It needs polishing but better than nothing <--- I agree.
Next time I hope to submit something (even if not refined) instead of nothing; lesson learned. <--- Good luck.
In the meantime until then, I hope and expect that my programming skills will only continue to improve through continued practice over time, <--- No doubt.
and upload it as an entry, well done and I am inspired and motivated by your success! <--- Hey, you are very, very welcome to rate and write comments on these 5 entries. Doing these two things may help these entrants to make good decisions on the next projects. Sure.
