Introduction
Santa's Sweatshop was a 72-hour programming project I undertook for the Winter Melon Jam 2023 with a theme of 'charm'.
This involved planning the concept for the game, programming the logic and drawing the pixel art assets.
While it was possible to participate as a team, I chose to go solo in order to build my experience in my first ever game jam!
It taught me the importance of time management and the ability to write quality code quickly under pressure.
