Each Day is a Step

Each day I'm blown away at how committed I am to this project. I wake up each morning excited to get to work on this, and even though it can feel like a mental overload to take in so much information all the time, it is super rewarding to watch something new incorporated into the game. 

Yesterday, I incorporated a jump animation into the player character. Today, I coded a glide control for the character. Tomorrow, I will code a climb control and I'll have the basic movements down for the character! 

It's so exciting to watch it all unfold, and I know I will see this project to its end. 

I was worried about joining a game jam that lasts for four months, since really talented and already experienced game devs will be using all that time to make very elegant games, and I'm literally learning as this game is being frankstein'd together. What will take me a month to learn and create will take experienced devs about a week maybe. Each update and feature I add to this game is being learned day-of. But honestly, better late than never starting amiright? 

I put a lot of pressure on myself to get things right the first time, and I probably can chill on trying to place something in this first ever game jam and making my very first game. I have to remember that I don't need to place anything, I just need to make something that I am proud to produce, with the reasonable limitations in my mind as I look at my creation. 

If you are reading this and also going through some of the same stuff, you got this! Trust me, if I can do this, you DEFINITELY can!!
