Luanti Game Jam: Reflection

These last three weeks have been a great experience for me. Among other things, I also tried multiple new things during this:

• This is my first big game, my first published game, and my first real Luanti game. I had previously made some mods, but nothing on this scale.
• This is my first project fully made with an editor in proportional type (my experience with that will come later).
• This is one of my first Lua projects. I have made other projects in Lua, but they were all smaller utility projects for the GNOME desktop (Gtk/Adwaita). This is my first game written in Lua.
• This is my first time using Libresprite.
• This is my first game jam. In a more general sense, it is also the first time I've done a project from start-to-finish in a set time period in a competition setting.

This was a great time for me to improve my Lua. I think my Lua improved during this jam.

Overall, the experience was quite enjoyable. If I can make the time for it, I'll probably do it next year.
