My First Game Jam

For reference of how new I am to this I made my first scene (ever) only 3 days ago; up until then I've only ever worked in the default scene that's create when you start a new Unity project.

Most of my time went into finding answers for issues or looking at tutorials. Outside of that I probably wasted about 30 to 40% of my time focussing on the wrong things (playing around with particle physics is distracting).

Overall this first game jam was a very fun experience and I'd like thank https://freelivesgames.itch.io/ for hosting it.

I diarised some of my development steps during this game jam and have shared them below - the screenshots above were taken (almost) daily:
