Ok I think my server might be acting up again but let's see if this will post!
I'm doing the My First Game Jam, only 4 days left and I'm kinda struggling, but it's been a learning journey for sure. I had this ambitious idea for a 3D tile-based puzzle thing, but the real puzzle is how I thought I could pull it off solo! Don't even have anything pretty to share, I did have this one model animated but it seems to be broken now๐
Definitely gotta get the hang of scoping down, but I got some awesome tips from my jam advice thread, it's all good! ๐
Hey! I'll be honest I can't really tell what this is (was?) going to be, but you're building something while people like me are navel-gazing and never getting started. Give yourself some credit!
Successful post, hurrah! And relatable, I always convince myself to go with 3d for jams and then regret it when I remember how much simpler things are in 2d. So curious what this was going to end up being, though, I love tile-based things there's just something very satisfying about how orderly they are ๐
Remember if you don't manage to submit, you can always just keep working on your game anyway. Or you can scrap it, take what you learned and put it into your next project! Either way, no harm done, it's all about enjoying the learning process and in the case of a jam, maybe meeting some nice folks who are doing the same thing.
