Top 5 Tips To Do Better In Game Jams 

#1 - Make it short #2 - Make it simple #3 - Make it easy (for you) #4 - Make it pretty #5 - Make it rested (don't grind for hours)

It’s a good day when Vimlark uploads. Especially when it’s about game jams. I love MWG devlogs but I can’t get enough game jam videos

Talking about fonts in #4. Be aware of the license of the font you are grabbing. It might be free to download and use in a jam, but if you continue to refine the game for a full release with sales, you might need to pay for a license. Or the free download might require attribution in some way, be sure to respect the font artist's time too! :)

Great video!! A good reminder for this weekend's upcoming GMTK jam :D

#0 Don’t delay sound to the end of the jam.

I also find it easier if I finish one part of my game before moving on to another. It helps me not feel overwhelmed and gives me a sense of progress to help motivation

#0 Don't delay polish to the end of the jam #0.001 Don't delay playtesting to the end of the jam

Sound advice! I'll watch this video as a reminder before any game jam I participate in (hopefully... because it's easy to forget)

These are gold. If playtesting is possible it can help with determining the difficulty level. Very helpful, thanks!

I just signed up for my first game jam and I've learned and been more motivated than I have before. It's very hard to put down though

Great work Nick. This was definitely helpful and will be utilized for future jams! 🔥

Incredible quality of videos! Looking forward to more videos!

I love game jams as well!! See everyone in the GMTK JAM :D

Big big tip here - make an online version (triple the views and ratings and such) and be SURE to test exporting with said online version. First game jam and i got to the end - and found out the html module hadn't installed (which is used for exporting browser games) DO IT

Awesome content as always!!! Thank you Vim!!!

Yaaay my stream avatar is there :) (I'm trash Benni lol) Quality video vim I like de music

great video! I'm sounds of stabbing on your streams and hanging out with you makes my day keep it up

for number 4: a perfect example is thomas was alone, its basic shapes yet nice visuals

Man you Inspired me to get into game dev love you man keep doin what you doin

you have to PRESS to do better in game jams (make it Pretty, Rested, Easy, Simple and Short) Thanks!

About the taking breaks, there are so many times when people can't figure something out, take a break, and then solve it like that.

Do you know anyone who does board games during game jams? I have done those in the past and really enjoyed it. Not sure how many others do.

Can you make MWG able to play in your browser?
