The Process

I took more of an administrative role for this game jam, as I was one of the jam organizers, so I decided to help out where I was needed. One person, and my partner for this jam, had never done a game jam before and was having trouble finding a group, so I joined him on fleshing out his idea for what kind of game he wanted to make and assisting him in developing the gameplay while he developed the UI and art. The game was completed within 48 hours.
