besides being a fantastic motivator (I took Hearts of Magic from an abandoned project that was a line by line reskin of Firebrands with not a lot of original content to an edited, laid out game with art, three new games, and ideas I can be proud of, in a week!), I love the way game jams bring us as creators together, working on parallel projects and giving us all something to work on together and bring us closer! watching grandpa vinny bakes D Vincent Baker livetweet working on a WizJam game was super rewarding and I hope more and more "big name" indie designers get involved in the next ones!
