Blaster Biscuit

Defeat the evil cookie before it defeats you

Back to projects

Blaster Biscuit came out of Brackeys Game Jam, where the theme was "Risk it for the Biscuit". It wasn't my first jam and it definitely won't be my last, and I had a genuinely good time building it from start to finish completely solo.

Doing everything myself pushed my versatility in a way that working on a team doesn't quite replicate. Map development, sound design, boss battles, making quick decisions under a tight deadline, it all fell on me, and working through each of those on the fly taught me a lot in a short amount of time. Game jams have a way of forcing growth that a normal project schedule just doesn't.

Blaster Biscuit also holds a specific place for me as my first technically released game. It's not fully finished, but it's out there and playable, and that matters. Shipping something, even something imperfect, is a different feeling than just wrapping up a project internally.

Going forward my goal with game jams is to participate as part of a team. A lot of my work so far has been solo or in small controlled settings, and I've gotten pretty good at relying on myself. But I know teamwork is its own skill set, and I'm looking forward to building that side of things in future jams.
