    I'm a licensed architect who somehow made his way into becoming an indie game developer. Before starting this journey I literally had no experience with Unity, c#, coding, or programming. Now I share fun (and hopefully funny) videos about what I'm working on via this devlog / devblog.

    This game was made in 7 days for Barji's winter barjam 2021 using Unity. It was a solo indie dev project and is available on itch.io to play for free. The thumbnail for the video features a 3d model that was made in blender.

      🧠 I did have the idea to make it multiplayer where one person was a snitch trying to catch and tattle on the other players. And the other players try to destroy everything before they’re all caught.

    I participated in Brackeys-jam 2022.1 this year, and while we didn't win - We made so much progress in terms of our development journey. We learnt a lot about what actually goes in to finish a game, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. We had fun and we grew as developers, and honestly our game was pretty ok, not good, but okay. Great video :P

    Very entertaining video! From personal experience, coming up with an idea that is both in-theme, original, achievable, and fun is often the most challenging part! Since iteration can be a big part of "finding the fun" of the game, if you start off with the wrong idea, your chances of success narrow.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:30 To increase your chances of winning a game jam, start by reading and following the rules provided by the host.
    00:56 Generate unique and fun gameplay ideas that align with the theme of the jam, as reskinning existing games may be considered boring.
    01:30 Establish a gameplay loop early in your project to keep players engaged, and consider creating a scoring system to motivate replayability.
    02:00 Focus on specific aspects of your game during the jam, and be prepared to use pre-existing assets and sound effects to save time.
    03:03 Create test builds every day to get feedback from others, and stay focused on building essential elements of your game.
    03:57 Winning isn't the sole purpose of game jams; prioritize learning, growing, and finishing something you're proud of.
    04:28 Participating in a game jam can lead to valuable learning experiences, even if your game doesn't achieve fame or downloads.
    05:26 Enjoy the process of creating your game, and remember that having fun is a significant part of participating in game jams.
