    "What is the best way to make it to the finish line? Start smaller than you think you should, and expand as time permits."

    Tip

    See that light at the end of the tunnel? It's not a train.

    Don't get discouraged by slow progress. Work around the bugs. Keep your morale high and don't forget to sleep.

    Hours 25-36:Breaking Through The Wall!

    The Manilla Game Jam

    In this chapter we will be exploring the most difficult stage of any Game Jam: the third quarter. This is the stage that many participants quit because the finish line is still far away. The easy and exciting beginning is well over and the nose-to-the-grindstone "hard part" is in full swing. Specifically, we'll explore:

    • Motivation and morale
    • Time management
    • Simplification
    • Breaking the rules
