PROGRESS UPDATE
A goal of Kim on their 101 Things in 1001 Days list with a status of Done.
This was intended as a single, stand-alone goal, but ended up crossing off three of my goals in a single weekend. To complete this one, I and my husband participated in the 2016 Global Game Jam as a team. We had to make a game to the theme of 'ritual', which was unveiled at the start of the event.
Most of the other teams were working on computer games, but since we lacked programming skills, we put together a physical card game. We came up with a good idea fairly quickly, though it took a lot of hashing out. Over half of the event was spent refining the idea before we began on any production work.
The end result was a near-complete game that was fully-playable and fairly well-balanced. The people who tested it enjoyed it and said it was a success, and it even got a couple of minor write-ups in a local game blog. The end result was that we decided to refine it and run it as a separate Kickstarter campaign (though I made it clear I had to finish work on my current one first before starting another). A grand success!
