Game Background
It was a blazing hot summer and my friends and I wanted to make to do a game jam together, plus we wanted to do a dating game. We were all new to game jams at the time, but I think the final result came out quite successfully.
Team organisation was the main skill I got to practice during this, making sure the artist and the writers knew what they should be working on to create a completed project on time. Clear communication and setting goals for other members was a must, development needed to be done concurrently and not one after the other. Future projects that involved my collaboration with others went a lot better thanks to what I learned from this event.
A thanks to Hannah Goodliff for doing the art, Eve Butt and Connor Couch for the writing and Rose Summers for helping with the concept.
