The real win for me has been coming in without a team and meeting 4 other developers who are awesome, along with getting an insane amount of honest and encouraging feedback straight from the community. No matter what happens, the opportunity to play so many diverse and fun games has been amazing and the prototype itself is a free +1 for the portfolio! :D Oh yeah, I learned how to stay up till 5am everyday for 6 days and create a game with a team almost entirely via text messages :')
