The mere fact of starting is already a sucess. You always can use it later on and practice will serve you well.

As for me, it’s been going very well! Even though I haven’t been able to polish my game as much as I want to due to personal reasons, I’m still proud of what I’ve accomplished.

Mine has not gone very good. Received the continuity testing link got my game so have been busy with that. Sadly don’t think I can rush a game in time :frowning:

You are a great writer, the fact you tried is enough.

Sometimes life goes in the way but that doesn’t mean we did badly.

Maybe you can edit the story to reuse in other project.

I’m actually thinking of turning the concept into a short story for Halloween. That should be possible I think.

That’s actually a great idea. Small games are fun to read

I’ve pretty much finished my original vision. Obviously, a lot of it could be expanded upon eventually. For right now, I just need to run it through a spell-checker and add some small parts that won’t result in scope-creep before the end of the jam haha.

This is the first jam I’ve participated in and am a bit surprised I managed to create something in time honestly. But I have had a lot of fun writing it.

Many people surprise when discover that can end up games on schedule. But it is not difficult it just needs practice learning to do a plan that is accurate with our situation. Writing is a skill that need practice. I join a lot of contests and jams every year to someday achieve my goal of writing a game capable of being published.

Still, hope the other runners make their goal!

A very cute game that made me smile. I particularly liked some of the sillier details like the terrible flirts via text, ā€œYou wait, but with an alsoā€ or ā€œErr, maybe you should seek some help for your fantasy section obsessionā€. :joy:

I didn’t think I could finish something in time for Halloween, considering this is the first time I’ve ever done this, but I had the most fun ever. Thanks Mara!

I want to do a poll to know community feedback about they want further jams. I want to apologize for any errors I could made in the process and people could send me a pm with suggestions.

Would you want more Halloween jams?
  • No, no more jams
  • Yes, I think jams are cool

See, I told you that you could do it! Now nobody can tell you that you can not end a game. You can! Everyone can!

Now, you could work with it to eventually even publishing it if you want. Or starting a new project.

My desire is that this achievement helps you to gaining confidence in your skills.
