This was my first jam, and I don't regret in any way my decision to participate. Connecting with other game devs and showing off amazing games was an awesome experience.
Both receiving and giving feedback felt great and the community is sincere and passionate.
It also gave me the opportunity to work in a team, and also that was really awesome!
A lot of people have played so much more games than me. For my part, I tried to do my best, but I really look up to those people.
I might not participate to LD, but I thought the same for Wowie, so who knows!
