I'm right in the middle of exams and assignments in my final year school but i really wanted to participate in this jam (as it would be my first) and I had miss the last four I wanted to join in. I'm extremely happy with my game but I'm just in an extreme state of exhaustion now. Overall, just about what I thought the experience of a game jam would be.

My game is called One Shot In The Chamber, a wave based survival game where you must fight off hordes of enemies with the catch being, you have only one bullet. Fortunately, the bullet is magic and you can summon it back to you or teleport to it. Using this unique ability, you must survive as long as possible in the chamber. Here is a screenshot of the game and the link to the game page: https://mark-auman.itch.io/one-shot-in-the-chamber

Same, last year of school too

Back at the GGJ 2018, I was actually in the middle of writing my masters thesis, but I was kinda losing steam on that front, so I instead took a weekend off to participate in the jam. This proved to be a great decision, because the feeling of accomplishment I got from making a game renewed my motivation to work on my thesis. :-)

I must say my productivity in school has gone up since participating in the jam. I'm generally a high achieving student but the lack of care  the people at my school have and irrelevance of what I'm learning at school in terms of what I want to do when I leave school has caused me to lose steam. But making games, doing something I love, and talking to like-minded people has really boosted my productivity
