I started learning programming a while ago because I loved videogames, but in the end, I never tried doing game development. So a few days ago, I got a sudden urge to try that out and decided that the best way to do it was to learn an engine and actually create something. That’s when I opened up itch.io, found out about this jam, and decided it was perfect for that objective. Since it was very last minute, and because I wanted to test myself, I went for it alone.
It was a very good experience. I slept really little during that week of the jam, but it was a lot of fun and I learned a ton of things. Having made a project from start to finish for the first time was wonderful.
Thanks for asking!
