Since 2021, I have participated in 15 Godot Wild Jams!
The Godot Wild Jam is a monthly game jam where you must create a game in nine days using the Godot game engine. Each jam has a theme your game must use as well as three optional wildcards. The wild cards are additional constraints you can follow to add a unique challenge or to inspire you. This is the largest monthly game jam focused on the Godot game engine, and more than 3,200 games have been created! Each jam usually has around 150 entries.
After submission, games are rated by the participants across seven categories.
- Theme
- Fun
- Controls
- Graphics
- Audio
- Originality
- Accessibilty
Throughout the years, I have created a diverse portfolio of games. My submissions have spanned many different genres in both 2D and 3D. I've created puzzle games, 3D platformer/"collectathons", a stealth game, a driving game, and a first person shooter. I wear many hats during development, handling everything from game design to programming, art asset creation, and sound mixing. While I've composed music for some projects, for most, I collaborate with a skilled family member who creates soundtracks that bring my games to life. In my first two jam entries, I acted as the project manager for a two man team of developers.
I consistently rank well in these jams, typically placing within the top 25 games. I've had several of my games break into the top 10. My latest entry, Cosmic Contagion, took the top prize out of 152 entries, marking my first ever first-place win.
