Anna@ripandtirRT: what do you guys think of this idea? Any experience with it?Quote TweetIan Burnette@itreallyisamre·Apr 17, 2015Trying a new #GameDev technique: breaking up my larger project with small jams to reduce burn-out. #LDJAM here I come!3:35 PM · Apr 17, 2015·Twitter Web Client1 Retweet1 Like
Zahra Knight • Vtuber • #GuildGen0@ZahratheKnight·Apr 17, 2015Replying to @ripandtir@Peg_Anna I think this is a wonderful idea :) Only problem being for VNs in particular, it'll make it feel unfinished. Like, unless you1
Zahra Knight • Vtuber • #GuildGen0@ZahratheKnight·Apr 17, 2015Replying to @ZahratheKnight@Peg_Anna focused on solely GUI, or one element of gameplay/interactive fiction.2
Anna@ripandtir·Apr 17, 2015@atpprojects Mhh, I don't agree; if you set a small goal and do a weekend jam, it doesn't necessarily equal loss of focus.
Anna@ripandtir·Apr 17, 2015@atpprojects mhh, because afterwards you will feel like you've done a lot and are tired? May be true yeah
Eliana the Storysinner@TheStorysinger·Apr 17, 2015Replying to @ripandtir@Peg_Anna @CScribes I took a break from my long term project to do NaNoRenO, and I'm happy with how my game, bond, turned out.
Eliana the Storysinner@TheStorysinger·Apr 17, 2015Replying to @ripandtir@Peg_Anna @CScribes It was a nice way to take a break. I think it would definitely work.
Eliana the Storysinner@TheStorysinger·Apr 17, 2015Replying to @ripandtir@Peg_Anna @CScribes And addressing what Hazel/CScribes said, I don't feel like bond is unfinished. The update I'm doing will just add...
Anna@ripandtir·Apr 17, 2015@atpprojects but time-outs lead to no-progress lulls and may actually be hard to get out of afterwards, I experienced this myself.
Eliana the Storysinner@TheStorysinger·Apr 17, 2015Replying to @ripandtir@Peg_Anna @CScribes ...an icon and make some very slight script changes.
Eliana the Storysinner@TheStorysinger·Apr 17, 2015Replying to @ripandtir@Peg_Anna @CScribes So yeah, your jam game has a good chance of feeling finished. Mine did, and I was flying solo. :)1
Zahra Knight • Vtuber • #GuildGen0@ZahratheKnight·Apr 17, 2015Replying to @TheStorysinger@TheStorysinger @Peg_Anna Oh I just realized I read that wrong. I thought it meant break up your larger project into smaller jam game haha1
