A week late here but THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our Global Game Jam site last-last week!
We had a fun mix of pros, amateurs, and new folks, and ended up with a set of mostly-playable games, so that's a win in our book :)
And another huge thank you to @unity.com for making it possible!!
This weekend I worked on my first game jam solo! I wasn't able to finish but I'm happy with the progress ๐ฆโโฌ
