A few days ago, my friend @daksh told me about Alakajam, and before I knew it, I was diving headfirst into my first-ever game jam! Big thanks to him for pulling me into this—I have no idea what I’m doing, but that’s the fun part, right? 😆
I’ll be using Unity to bring my idea to life. I have a little experience with 2D platformers, but this will be my first real attempt at making a full game from scratch in a limited time. No pressure at all… right? 😅
Luckily, I’m not alone in this madness! I’m teaming up with my friend @abhisongs, who is also passionate about music. You can check him out here: @abhisongsYT, he will be crafting the art and level design in Aseprite. He also just started learning but I am not worried he's a fast learner, so at least the game will look good—now I just have to make sure it actually plays well. 😜
A bit about me: I’m Smit Mistry, a 21-year-old developer with a background in machine learning, AI, and web development. My past projects involve speech processing, object detection, and chatbots, but game dev? That’s a whole new beast.
I have no idea how this will turn out, but I’m excited to create something cool, break a few things along the way, and learn as much as I can. Let’s go! 🚀
Really excited for the jam, all the best man
