I think you are making a good choice by taking a break. Meanwhile, I'm one of those you inspired to participate in the Godot Wild Jam. I've only just finished the Global Game Jam as a team of 5 and now I wanna experiment as a solo dev in a week long jam. Thanks for the inspiration and have a good rest from the jam stress ahah

Nothing like getting off the ol' 9-5 to play a game about working 9-5

As a potential solution for your issue of having to make different scenes for different forms of the same box: try using custom resources. You could create a BoxResource class that extends Resource, and then you can put all the data fields and methods that are common to all the forms of a single box in there, and then save it as a .tres file. Then you can instantiate that resource in every box scene (when it's on the floor, picked up, etc.) by doing, for example, var box_resource = load("path/to/resource.tres") and it will save you the hassle of synchronising the data for each of the scenes, as it will all be in one place - the .tres file. You may have tried this already, but if not, I hope it will help you. I still haven't found a solution that truly fixes this design issue, but this works decently well. Cheers

There are longer game jams to try, but I'd love to see you work on a full time idea!

Ignoring math classes seems like an indie dev special trait. You don't realize game dev is a lot of math until you start and think "Damn...I hated math class..."

[@JackDurangoMango]

I just played the game and it's so much fun. I think adding some ambient music and sounds and the lunchroom break would make this game a certified steam game on par with something like Papers Please

The way yoy do your lighting really creates an atmosphere especially in your rougu-like, please make a tutorial about it

[@FanStudioCoUk]

Indie devs, don’t miss the Zombeez Game Jam on itch. Great chance to shine! ;)

[@LL43216]

Export vars for the box. You could have all these attributes and then when you drag in the scene set them so you have your special little objects. It’s a weird way to do inheritance but the other way would be doing class->subclass and I think you could also do groups but idk how groups work

I love the game concept, I'll have to check it out! And I'm glad to see you taking a jam break to focus on what you want/need to do, it seems like a really positive thing. Regardless of if you pivot what you want to focus on for your main project, I'm excited to see where it goes!

[@moonstar_connor]

Thanks for the inspiration! I'm joining the February Godot Wild Jam as my first game jam because of your videos. Excited to see where you decide to go with a bigger project or more jams!

[@callummaclean8782]

Love your videos bro hope you have a great break!

[@SundercoreDev]

Game turned out great! Genuinely think this could be a really cool sim game if you flesh it out

[@Mertitude]

This is fantastic mate!! You have made me change the way I am learning game dev and I even started doing art thanks to your dog video, that really helped me understand my own learning! I am gonna go game jams thanks to you as it will be good learning. Enjoy the stress break and I really wanna play a full game! keep going my friend!

[@halasfil]

[@kartopod]

You are one of the most entertaining and inspiring gamedev youtubers ever, your work is really incredible. I hope to be like you one day :)
