Talking about fonts in #4. Be aware of the license of the font you are grabbing. It might be free to download and use in a jam, but if you continue to refine the game for a full release with sales, you might need to pay for a license. Or the free download might require attribution in some way, be sure to respect the font artist's time too! :)
I also find it easier if I finish one part of my game before moving on to another. It helps me not feel overwhelmed and gives me a sense of progress to help motivation
Big big tip here - make an online version (triple the views and ratings and such) and be SURE to test exporting with said online version. First game jam and i got to the end - and found out the html module hadn't installed (which is used for exporting browser games) DO IT
good thing i’m joining a game jam this week and school is nearly and i’ve completed the last of my homework. bad thing is i’ve lost 2 days doing homework :(

Very true! I should have mentioned that.

That's a great tip! I try to do that but tend to get frustrated and bounce around. But I always strive to finish one thing before moving on.
#1 - Make it short
#2 - Make it simple
#3 - Make it easy (for you)
#4 - Make it pretty
#5 - Make it rested (don't grind for hours)
Sound advice! I'll watch this video as a reminder before any game jam I participate in (hopefully... because it's easy to forget)
It's so easy to say all these thing, but it's so hard to follow them lol.
I just signed up for my first game jam and I've learned and been more motivated than I have before. It's very hard to put down though

HTML is not necessary in big jams. if you can it helps, but a download is fine as well
That is a great tip. Anything that can make it easier for the player to play and enjoy the game can help.
hey win lark, love your videos!
Thank You!
good thing i’m joining a game jam this week and school is nearly and i’ve completed the last of my homework. bad thing is i’ve lost 2 days doing homework :(

I ahould've seen this before being 30 seconds late from submitting my untested buggy game to GMTK.
#0 Don’t delay sound to the end of the jam.
For sure!
agreed
It’s a good day when Vimlark uploads. Especially when it’s about game jams.
I love MWG devlogs but I can’t get enough game jam videos
Toby Knecht you just picked the 2 things he uploads lol
#0 Don't delay polish to the end of the jam
#0.001 Don't delay playtesting to the end of the jam
Great video!! A good reminder for this weekend's upcoming GMTK jam :D
you have to PRESS to do better in game jams (make it Pretty, Rested, Easy, Simple and Short)
Thanks!

Great work Nick. This was definitely helpful and will be utilized for future jams! 🔥

I love game jams as well!! See everyone in the GMTK JAM :D
These are gold. If playtesting is possible it can help with determining the difficulty level. Very helpful, thanks!

About the taking breaks, there are so many times when people can't figure something out, take a break, and then solve it like that.
