TLDR: I joined a game jam and this is part of my contribution.

Longer story:
At the end of december I was looking into game jams a little bit and found one that piqued my interest. At first I figured hey maybe I'll join next year, but then I thought why not do it now?
So I did!
After a lot of internal conflict I reached out to someone who had a team that might fit and he added me to the teams discord.
We did a small project to figure out if we can work together and everything went quite well!
The project itself never got finished, but it was good to see that everyone could do their part.
When the real game jam started we got together to discuss the theme and settled on an idea.
We would be making a puzzle game in which you play as a lab experiment/creature having to solve puzzles to reach the end.
We also wanted to have multiple endings and a fun movement mechanic so we made sure the creature could roll :)
After that the other artist and I split up the art tasks, our programmers split their programming and our sound artist got to work on their tasks.
I ended up doing all the cutscenes as well as background assets while the other artist did the characters, animations and UI.
(Judging by the experiences my teammates shared I got incredibly lucky with my team, nobody quit early, ghosted us or had a bad attitude :P)
I'm gonna be honest, I was incredibly stressed throughout those two weeks, often working three times as much as I normally would just to get everything done in time.
It made me realize that I might not be cut out to work on games for studios after all.
That being said, I am very glad I decided to do this overall! I learned a ton about unity and how to make a useful asset and this might even have given me enough encouragement to start my own little game project with no deadline or pressure :)
Have a wonderful week everyone and if you made it to here, thank you for reading!
