[Swansea Hackspace] Short deadlines, long hours, but good fun

[Matthew Daubney]

Thats pretty much the reason for the Jam. To do the compo you have to be a
fairly good all rounder, but it's _hard_ as the time limit is tough. The
Jam is supposed to let teams enter under a lot softer rule :)

I've mostly worked in 2D in unity, the time table being what it is, I've
generally thought it better to stick to 2D as it's a lot quicker and easier
to lay out levels, and get the various sprites running. I've been tinkering
with a 2d C&C clone right now as the new tilemap stuff is pretty slick. I'm
kinda messing around getting to the point of doing A* path finding just to
dos around in that :)
