Game Jams... WHY THE HECK DO WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES???

Posted by JackSmack - July 12th, 2010

So I just released a new game that me and some close personal associates made for the Newgrounds Game Jam.

We only had 2 DAYS to make the game so it's a bit rough around the edges but it's pretty good.

I will more than likely look into making the text based engine more robust later on but I don't think I did to shabby of a job seeing as I programmed for 28 straight hours on this thing.

GO PLAY THIS GAME OR I CURSE YOUR UNDERPANTS TO HAVE THE ELASTIC GET ALL STRETCHY AND USELESS!

:) Do you mean "I didn't know YOU could make something" as in me personally or that it was possible?

I'm glad you liked it, it was a few thousand lines of code and it's not really complete... But I have a good idea of things I would do differently if I make another text based game which is one good thing to take out of a game jam!

I'm going to bed now with my head that can make programs to interprit werds.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You made a pretty great game, and this competition pretty much made my day, enjoying all the rushed jobs and unfinished masterpieces, that you normally don't get. And all it did was add some personality to your games. I have to go back to school tomorrow (I live in Australia) and the people competing in this game jam made my winter break end on a good note.
And I thank you for that!

Just remember, you didn't work your butt of for no good reason.
