Definitely a mixed bag.

Today I submitted a project for a game jam. It's the first one I've finished in a little over two years. Shameless self promotion

On the one hand, yes it's absolutely what I wanted to do. Video games have always been a special interest, and I'd really like to be selling my own games. Plus a jam is a good learning experience and trust me: I'll find all the ways you shouldn't do something.

On the other hand, it's a whole lot of crunch time racing against the clock. Sleepy, migraine, and basically wrung out. Plus the nature of a jam is that you're inevitably shipping a buggy mess that only sorta works - it's basically the antithesis to my work ethic.

But, it's been a long time, I'm happy with what I made, and the stresses of the game have been a very effective escape from the stresses of real life. So overall: yeah, it's what I wanted to be doing
