Whew! It’s over. That was one hell of a jam.\u00a0Evolution was a\u00a0challenging\u00a0theme to condense into a game in such short amount of time.<\/p>\n
My game Next Generation<\/a>\u00a0was\u00a0definitely\u00a0an ambitious life simulator game for only myself to do.<\/p>\n Lessons learned: If you want to enter the compo, when you take your “break,” don’t take it at 8 pm and play the Game of Thrones board game till 6 am the next day. And don’t bet drinks while you play either. Just don’t do it.<\/p>\n But I had so much fun! This idea was actually planned to get scrapped. But with all the\u00a0research\u00a0I was doing on the\u00a0biology\u00a0of reproduction,\u00a0hereditary\u00a0traits, and evolution I couldn’t help but have the urge to create it! I don’t think I’ve every learned so much and it took a game jam to do that.<\/p>\n In traditional at home game jam fashion, my diet\u00a0consisted\u00a0 of only burritos, pizza, hotpockets, and beer.<\/p>\n I’ll be updating the game all tonight and after. This community is amazing. The IRC chat was wonderful, polite, and funny. I love you guys.<\/p>\n Hodor!<\/p>\n -George Katsaros
\n Anyway, Next Generation needs tons of feedback. What are you confused about? Where did you quit? Where did you get stuck? How did it crash? What did you like? What do you want more of? All that jazz.<\/p>\n
