On this, my final ten minute break, I count down the minutes to the end of my shift, to when i can return home and finaly begin work on my game :(

The theme has me a bit stumped, but my goal is to make at least a prototype late tonight!

For now, I anxiously glance at my clock.

Got a busy weekend, but I'm in! 1

I'm excited to get started in my first Alakajam! This is my first real jam with the time limit of only one weekend!

Of course naturally, the one time I decide to take part is when events start happening and important errands need to be run. Ugh.
I'm sad I won't have the entire weekend to make a game, but I will do my best!

I'm a solo developer still learning the ins and outs of Unity. I wish everyone the best of luck in this challenge!

Boy howdy the last month was productive! Yup September was definitley my month. I made so many games and joined so many jams I couldn't keep up!

Wait…am I remembering that right? Oh no…I've slipped out of a spacetime vortex into a reality where none of that ever happened!!

Or maybe I really just didn't do anything. I can't blame everything on a spacetime vortex.

Yeah…so last month was a real slippery slope. No games made, no jams completed, no blog or twitter updates. Heck, barely anything new learned either.

I gotta make the most of October to make up for it. Currently, I am learning the basics of Platformer games, and I hope I can integrate that knowledge into new game jams, including the upcoming Alakajam. I really need to get something done or I'll slip into another vortex of Netflix and Ice Cream pints…

Here's to a new month, and hopefully more productive choices!

Hey, there's a blog function? Neat! 3

HEEEEEEEEY!

Now that's how you start a blog! :D

Okay, but for real now:

I have never posted or even thought about posting anything like a blog before. I started learning how to program games when I was younger, but only about a month ago did I decide that I reeaaaally wanted to do it. But since I had little experience, I decided to pick up an engine, learn what I could, and then start making games!

I found Alakajam off a random page on my twitter @SnowFoxGames. I'd been given advice to join game jams, but I'm not comfortable going to any in person, especially if it meant working with…gulp…other human beings! (Dun dun dun!!!!)

I'm hoping to improve my skills as a developer as well as gain the confidence to finally poke my head out of my safety shell :)

I am certainly not ready for the weekend only challenge. For goodness sakes, it takes a month for me to be able to get anything done around here!

When the next Kajam starts, I will definitely see to it that I enter.

Look out world! This Fox has teeth and is ready to bite!(Or something)
