Hey guys!

As you may know, JARRING was a submission for the TOASTY JAM. Well, the jam's voting period has finally concluded!

This means, I can finally update the game's build so that everyone can play the fixed and more polished version of JARRING.

While the winner for the jam is still yet to be announced, I'd like to reflect on the past 2 weeks of developing and fixing this game!

This has been a really, really fun 2 weeks, and a very tiring one too...

I had so much fun live streaming the majority of JARRING's development, which is watchable on my Twitch channel. 

It was really fun to see my viewers' reactions to certain features that I would add. For example, I spent like almost an hour making the toilet, shower, and mirror interactable. FOR NO REASON XD!

It was also helpful to bounce ideas around with the viewers. They would tell me if a certain part is scary enough, should this part even be scary at all... Streaming the process really made it SUPER FUN, and I must say, I would definitely do MORE game jams if I can experience this again. <3

I also didn't go out to socialise, LOL! In fact, my week just consisted of working my 9-5, get home to stream+game dev, then go to sleep. Repeat. I haven't had to lock in that hard in a while, and I forgot how satisfying it was to just be constantly in the zone, working on a project that you believe in so hard.

And I don't even know why I believed in the concept of JARRING so much, since I don't even play horror games. Normally, I'd be super excited to make a turn-based game because... I like turn-based games! So in hindsight, I just found it jarring that I was excited to just go all in on a concept I was never fluent/familiar with. But hey, I'm glad I did!

I don't know if this game is good, but I don't really care. I'm super proud of what I could cook in 9 days, that it kinda doesn't matter what others think!

I'll do another update after the winners of the Toasty Jam have been announced.

Thank you to everyone who played JARRING! Let me know what you think!
