Game Jams and Events - Your Experience

09/10/2023 01:27 AM

I did a few games as a result of gamejam events! I think it does help to try out different ideas, try out new things and stuff.

I think also, sometimes working on the same thing for too long burns me out of it and I need to switch to something else. It's not that you HAVE to do gamejams if you don't want to, but if you find the idea interesting, I definitely think there are positives to it and it isn't merely a distraction from what you really want to make. I think sometimes you can even take ideas or techniques from it and apply it!

Guess the RPG from Only 3 Tiles

- Live a live
- Illusion of Gaia
- Golden Sun
- Lunar Legends
- Terranigma

I forget what else

Starting pixel art?

Fighting game style is definitely hard and not one to start with! You don't have to show them online but it helps to replicate and play around with existing sprites so you get an idea of how they work. Also, learning how to use the grids in the art program you use is good too, helps you align stuff better.

I do agree with Darken, going low color / low res helps and also I feel it helps with thinking about how the forms and everything look. NES and Gameboy / GBC sprites/Tiles are good to learn from!
