Always remember that one of the most beloved indie games is about a goose thats harassing people

0:16 we interpreted it as literal space, like space-time space... so we made an infinite runner where u have to run so fast that u run out of space and time

Great timing for Wowie 2, but hopefully we now don’t get hundreds of top down shooters ;-)

For years I banned myself from game jams due to placing too much pressure on myself and crumbling mid-jam. I watched this video and it gave me the confidence to try one again. I ended up going with a top down shooter as suggested but it was my best game jam to date (still not saying much, but I achieved my goal). Thanks, Jonas.

Dude, you have really good insights into the actual process of making games. And your communications is very effective, being brief and clear (also fun I must say)
I hope you end up creating your one dream game (or franchise), whatever that may be (might not be singular)

I’m a full-stack engineer and I’ve been dabbling in game development for years and I love it. I really want to try a game jam sometime, but the initial idea has always been something that terrified me. Even trying practice exercises, I find it hard to come up with a decent idea quickly. I’ll totally remember the top-down shooter advice! 😉😂
