Abstract

Whether you are new to the world of game development or a veteran of the field, you have most likely heard of, perhaps even taken part in, a game jam. An issue many teams face is "how do I accomplish everything I want with so little time?" This paper delves into the techniques and methods used by my team, Null Interactive, during Global Game Jam 2017. Furthermore, we discuss the product we created, strategies for using the limited time we were given, and the progression of our game jam experience.
