How I Won My First Game Jam Entry. I Cant Believe It.

I entered my first game jam with low expectations and somehow came first. This is the story of Farm Jam, my game, and why I nearly didn't submit. Farm Jam was a very small game jam, and my first. I built Fabled Fields, a 2D pixel art Stardew Valley-inspired farming fantasy game in Godot 4. This devlog covers the full journey: the idea, the build, the doubt, and the results I still can't believe.

Can you spot them? ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 — Intro 0:54 — Finding a Game Jam 1:22 — Important Rules and Themes 1:49 — Game Loop in Godot 3:38 — Ideas - Talking Duck and Dodgy Guy 5:12 — Game Dev Self Doubt 6:18 — Game Jam Results 6:48 — 6 Quick Tips in 90 Seconds 8:20 — Godot Wild Jam and Final Thoughts 🎨 Pixel Art Asset Packs: https://sebbyspoons.itch.io/ 🎨 Asset Credits https://seliel-the-shaper.itch.io/ https://duckhive.itch.io/ducky-old #gamedev #gamejam #godot #indiegame #devlog
