Game Jam Entries
I join game jams often to create new ideas and gain confidence
Click titles to go to link
GMTK 2019 - Generations
48 hours to create a game with the theme “Only One”
There is Only One Monster chasing you down, across the generations
There is Only One Level, persistent as each generation makes their attempt at freedom.
There is Only One Input, as you will only need your mouse.
GMTK 2020 - Spy Master
48 hours to create a game with the theme “Out Of Control”
My interpretation was that you were the “Spy Master”, and you work from “Spy Control” and send agents on missions.
Primary objective of the Jam was to learn how to pass and store data within entities. Each “Spy” knows what you gave them, and that factors into success rate when they come back.

GMTK 2021 - The Kingdom Way (Incomplete)
48 hours to create a game with the theme “Joined Together”
Originally started as a 5 person project, eventually worked solo. Primary Goal was to learn Unity Visual Scripting. Didn’t have time to learn how to pass data between objects.
In the end, annotated game design and made the level playable online.
Concept was to join your kingdom with a distant one through various alliances.
