Challenges
1. Working as a team with strangers
Since this is my first ever game jam, I decided to join in as a solo developer but after realizing that my skills is still not on par of making a game alone, I decided to join in a team full of stranger.
Everyone have difference idea and not all of us are in the same page, therefore communication is the key and help us complete the game within those 48 hours. This jam also helps me learn so much that as a designer on how to communicate well with the programmers in team. Even though I am a designer I also took the role as an artist as well, this experience let me know that sometimes a studio do not have enough people at a certain role and needed other people to take over at the moment.
