I've never been brave enough to do game jams. I dunno, I've always been afraid I'd break under the pressure. Was it fun for you?

- lloeki 5y agoTons of fun. It's been frightening alright but I learned so much, and not just about game dev: lots of takeaways that apply to day-to-day development, like finding the balance between quality and getting things done, keeping things ultra-simple, understanding the value in inlining or even repeating code, finding the minimal abstraction sweet spot... It's OK to be afraid! Turns out it also teaches that you can just let it go, go for it and enjoy the wild ride.
- bananabat 5y agoGuess my insecurity comes from not having any kind of programming or even math background. Esp in group game jams, I have a feeling I'd be the weakest link and everyone would yell at me.
