Honestly I think jams are a great way to learn how to prototype which is super hard to get a handle of. Its so hard to come up with good ideas on the fly- especially ones that are feasible? This is my second jam and I think it was maybe a little bit easier than the first time I tried.
Yeah, I really hope the next time I do a game jam it's much easier! But I also learned that I suffered from having too many ideas and just not making something simpler then expanding it. I felt like I wasted a lot of time with my failed ideas and abandoning them after 3 or 4 hours.
Even though my game isn't good, I'm happy at the stuff I've learned and there's some things I want to take to future game jams, from the design process, to making something simple. I used construct 3 because I'm just not comfortable using gamemaker or godot under pressure ha.
