This years Global Game Jam 2023 is with the theme "Roots". My idea is that Game Jams are the roots of the international community of computer game players and creators. This was my first Global Game Jam and I wanted, first and foremost to meet the community in Lisbon. I have made a little game that documents my experience.

:) Very good! It reminds me of when we used to go to the demoscene parties in our childhood. E.g. The Party in Denmark, or Assembly, Breakpoint. That's great. I'm going to buy a pizza! :)

Thanks Rajcsanyi! Hope your physical release is doing well? The Game Jam was a lot of fun, the lecturers that hosted it were really nice and the atmosphere was great.

That was a curious approach - what an amazing documentary game! Thanks for sharing it and I hope that it was just your first, of many, game jams :-)

Thanks Filipe, I hope I will participate in another Jam in the future!

This was cute! I enjoyed it! The use of Game Boy Camera photos was a neat touch!

Thanks VGST! It was the perfect excuse to do a mini documentation of the Jam as a game itself.
