Day 1

I arrived a bit late at the venue so I didn't have much time to think of game ideas myself, but luckily there were many great game ideas to choose from. When I saw Emilia's game idea, I got instantly excited about it. It was also simple enough so I believed we could finish the game during the weekend. I've never finished a game during a game jam so I wanted this year to be different! I have also wanted to learn Unity for many years, and we discussed already in the pitching phase that we would probably use Unity in the project. Because our game was about colors, we chose Team Rainbow as our team name.

We also made some other difficult choices such as which pizzas we would like to eat during the weekend (thanks Frogmind for sponsoring them! :)) and where would we be eating during the first evening. We decided to go to the closest pizza/kebab place and discuss about the gameplay plan while eating. When we came back to the venue, we made a todo list for both programmers and artists, installed tools and thought about project sharing options. We started with Copy but ended up using Github.

The game will be awesome because we have a great team and a good idea!
