Two years ago had a big moment for me. It was the first time
I had the opportunity to not write about success and how great everything is in
University. Instead it was about failure, which is something no one likes to talk about but
has plenty to learn from. What I’m talking about is the Global Game Jam 2014 blog post where I made a list of the essentials in a game jam. Now in
2016, I want to see what I still agree with and have taken to heart, what
didn’t matter to me and what new things I have learned.
First off, Global Game Jam 2016 went really well for me and
my team. We placed first locally with a small, mostly newcomer, but still
dedicated group of contestants. Before I speak any more about me and my team I
think everyone at the Hull site did amazing work and my respect goes out to the
Hull College team who persisted. Well done to all. If you'd like to see the game check it out at the Global Game Jam page.
