It can also teach how to self edit, how to work with a team, and it can help you connect with other devs and build an audience. Not that jams are only first timers, but first timers often skip straight to "I'm gonna spend years making my very first game" when two weeks in a jam could be so valuable.

Game jams and others like them teach you how to work under deadlines and learn limits and actually release something, and they can also lead to some of the most clever, creative games around BECAUSE of restrictions and specifications. It's great experience for aspiring game devs.

Journalists are not responsible for finding and reporting on every indie game out there. But making an effort to dive into Steam/itch.io/game dev posts on Bluesky and report on cool stuff that could benefit from the extra traction and spotlight every now and again can make a huge difference.

In the trough of the waves...
...on the crest of the billows...
Each step of the journey thou goest...

anyway this is also what's fueling my art-making process on the game itself (anothereal: wishlist today™️) ... except i have to stare at it about 1000x more times so sometimes i poke at pixels until i'm more happy with them.

My friend said this affectionately as a joke and perhaps it doesn't have a deep meaning. They liked the game.

I showed another friend.

Their testimonial was "What's the opposite of 'I miss Tenna?'"

oh, I got one more

ghosts watching and judging you on dates 😅
