The Rock - a TL;DR post mortem

  • This time I decided to completely ignore the theme and make a visual novel about the destruction of culture - originally meant for the Folklore theme.
  • Used my prep time very well, def more important than I realized.
  • Chose the very risky path of making a game with no good ending, some people were really into it, others felt confused and irritated. The diversity of responses from players made the experiment very worth it!
  • Despite not having an artist this time, and fully running out of time to make anything more than scribbles, people really fell in love with the characters and the world which was a nice surprise!
  • I wanna try even more risky things in future jams so watch out!! I'm coming to get you !!!!

Once again talked to so many awesome people and played great games that I'm gonna remember forever. Thank you to all who played my game, and the entire LD community for making this the wholesome place we all cherish, and also the important space for growth we need as developers and as people. If you're reading this, you're beautiful and I love you! :love_letter:
