"Bugoss Fight" - https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/552985
Hi there, I'm Leonardo Fraga, from Brazil \o/
This is the second game Jam I ever entered, and the first I finished :D
I've started developing game in 2014 with a group of awesome friends (our group is called MR.LED) as our term paper, so I could say I've been developing for 6 years know, but it's not true. I stopped developing for 2 years when I got a job as programmer, and there was a lot of times that I didn't have the will to make games, of just depression knocking on the door.
The game that I'm trying to finish for many years now, witch is my first game after my term paper, is CupCakoon (I made a channel about indie dev and a trailer :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMHVY6EXDfM).
As a matter of fact, I joined this jam for 2 reason. One it's because Jonas played my game in one of his videos ( shorturl.at/mxDWX ), and it was just great, I felt awesome watching him play my game. I've been subscribed to his channel for sometime, but I wasn't following all his videos, and now I am, and when he announced this jam, I immediately though "I'm in!".
And because I was again stuck with depression, doing nothing, and I saw that I was actually excited to this jam, and I was not excited for anything for a few weeks, and it was great! I think that ever game dev, SPECIALLY those who are starting now, should participate in game jam.
The feeling of finishing a project is so good, and it inspire us to finish our own projects outside the jam!
So, I'm not different from many other, I think that indie game dev is a place full of people trying to achieve their dream doing something we love :D
If you do play my game ( I hope you do :D ), because there's a lot of games here, I hope you have a good time!
