Thank you so much for your feedback!
I have been doing game jams since 2020 my first ever jam was Miz Jam 1. I have tried to do at least 3 per year, if i can id do more than that. I would say the most difficult part is scope. just learning what you are capable of in a short time is difficult and we often overscope and assume we can get more that possible. This game is a great example of that. for Nebula we started a week late and for week 2 and 3 we coded without communication. we only started combining during week 4.
My advice just keep joining jams and striving to complete a project. You will get better at planning and your skills will improve immensely each time. Even if you dont 100% complete the game or get ranked #1 all that matters is that you made a game and you can always be proud of that! Plus you will get great feedback from the community and that alone is priceless.
Keep it up and I hope to see you again in future jams!
Thank you for your reply. I'm a little late in replying to you, sorry for it.
Yeah, you're right, when I conceptualized the game, there was always more that I imagined we could do than what actually happened, but contrary to what I hoped for, a lot of stuff couldn't be done with my limited abilities (abilities, in turn, being related to experience and time), and even if I had the ability, there wasn't enough time.
Although I started focusing on it a few days before the game, the two weeks since the game started have been wasted by doing nothing. There's a lot of ineffective communication. I suddenly realized that it's too late when you've thought of everything, and often the motivation to do something is just "go for it".
Many thanks for your encouragement, yeah, while developing more games, practicing planning and organizing is a good way to trade off that "scope" as you advised.
Same here, see you again in future jams!!
