I registered for Kenney Jam 2022 which is my first game jam ever. The theme was GROWTH and was announced when the jam began Friday at 11: AM here where I live in the Eastern time zone.  It was very interesting monitoring and partaking in the chatter on Discord with all the different time zones, etc. It was even more interesting to see the ideas others developed around the theme and now, the games that have resulted from those ideas.

Speaking of games based on the theme, while I had 5 different ideas for games, I decided on doing a puzzle-platformer mostly because this was my first game jam and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get my first choice done in the 48 hour limit. It took about 34 hours and I'm complete exhausted, but I had a great time, and more importantly, I learned A LOT! As long as I have a vacation day available next year I'll probably do this again. Although, I'm not sure my wife will be too excited about that!

Until next year... I'll keep up the GROWTH in game dev!
