Taking a Break - Game Jam Time

So I went on vacation to NYC - it was great. Good time to reflect on things and enjoy some of life itself. 

While I know exactly the direction I need to take when I get back, I have been wanting for a while to do some other small project just to get a win under my belt and have some fun. And so I decided to prepare in the Game Off jam on itch.io (https://itch.io/jam/game-off-2024). I only have about a week - but that's fine with me. I need to finish FTC anyway so I can't really put aside too much time.

So yeah - a week to make a game. Cool! I've made some pretty good progress already; I decided to make a game about riddles with a little light top down combat. You have to fight off enemies, and in between waves you try to guess the riddles on your magical sword. If you get them right, you will unlock a power. That's it!

It's fun to do something that isn't really that ambitious. I keep reminding myself when I'm overthinking things - this doesn't have to be perfect. Or good even. I'm just having fun here. So I'm doing the best I can, and also just taking it easy about it.

I'll be sure to share more images / GIFS in future posts.
