Here’s a little video featuring me venting about the new time limit/deadline for the GMTK Game Jam 2024 (which was originally 48 hours, but is now 96 hours.) I feel like that small time limit was what made GMTK so fun and memorable as an experience. It also set itself apart from others game jams like the Brackey’s Game Jams and the Wowie! Game Jams.

If you don’t know, a game jam is essentially an event/competition in game dev where x amount of people are tasked with making a game in x amount of time. The GMTK Game Jams have consistently set the record for having the largest amount of people joining, even to the point where the website the jam is hosted on, itch.io, crashes for a while right after the deadline is hit due to the amount of games being submitted at the same time.

NOTE: This isn’t a hate video towards Mark Brown or GMTK. I love watching his videos and participating in the game jams. This is simply just some feedback and criticism towards the new time limit set for this year’s GMTK.
