i've been hanging out a lot in the shooting game community lately, getting to know some of the developers hanging out around there and even opening up a community wiki (shmups.wiki), and one of the folks in the scene runs these little shmup game jams every once in a while, and honestly i'm really trying to commit to doing it. it has been almost a decade since the last time i coded my own thing from scratch, and it's almost been that long since the last time i released something new too 💀.
so much of my energy has had to be devoted to work recently, but i've really been getting that itch to flex some design chops in a more bite sized way. perhaps this will be the thing that gets me back on my feet? it's been a very long time since i've participated in a jam, and i'd also really like to be able to say i released something again, because it has been so long!
let's see if i still got what it takes, eh?
