Blueprint Bob is in the video!? This was the fifth year I participated in this Game Jam and it feels unreal to see a game I made being featured. Thanks to my team and to Mark for hosting this!

I was the programmer of Grow to Perfection.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I've been playing a lot of Factorio recently so I'm glad you can see the inspiration. Also, huge shoutout to my teammates who really brought the game to the next level with art and sound.

[GlassGeckoGames]

Hi there! We are Glass Gecko Games, the creators of Scale the Depths—that strangely addicting fishing game. We wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who played, viewed, and commented on the game. Your support has truly made all our efforts feel worthwhile. In fact, your support has inspired us to start working on a more polished, full version of the game, so keep an eye on our socials for updates! Once again, thank you to everyone, and congratulations to all who participated in the jam!

Blueprint Hell was us! This is our third time participating and I'm so excited to be in the video because GMTK Game Jam is one of the reasons why I've become passionate about game development again. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

Oh! The very first game shown in the video is ours: Moldy Fruits! 00:15 ✨So happy to be featured in the video! It was already incredible to be in the top 100. Thank you, Mark, for this Jam. It's my first time participating, but I'm definitely joining again next year!

Congrats to all the people who submitted something. I got burnt out two days into the jam, and abandoned my game.

Thanks for featuring Get Some Helium, and thanks to everyone who provided valuable feedback! This game jam has been fantastic every year and it's really nice to see what devs can make in a short time.

[blakebell]

Loving that part of the video from 17:58 to 18:00 haha (Bills & Bouquets, the game I helped make) haha. Even though we weren't a top 20 pick, I'm still so proud of our game and what we accomplished in such a short amount of time. Thanks for hosting this jam Mark!
