Well the GMTK Jam 2024 is over and I submitted a game for it called Striving Perfection: Scalable Dreams, featuring Jack Yuri and Mckenzie the Catboy
Based on the original Striving Perfection, it's just a short and stupid Adventure game. I finished the game on the last day near the deadline and it was actually a nice experience doing a game jam again. Too bad it's one of the weakest of my game line ups. At least it got 3rd daily and frontpaged.. for like, 5 days haha
It's very narrative driven and features a lot of my writing which people seemed to very much enjoy. The itch.io comments I got for the game were very nice and genuine! Can't say much for some of the Newgrounds reviews.. Well then again itch.io is more filled with game lovers, devs, and such while here you get a lot of various people.
In the end, it received #1511th place overall with mediocre (a worse fate than being terrible) scores except for style (3.9). I didn't think of a better game concept or execution probably because my mind is constantly getting fried ever since 2023 started. I don't have high hopes to work on the game anymore, I think it's better to just leave it untouched and move on.
