In 2018 I joined the Butterscotch ShenaniJam, this wasn't my first jam as I had taken part in several before, however it was the first time I felt connected to the game jam community.

Everyone was so active and extremely positive, when I finally came up with ideas I would get quick and friendly feedback on discord, it was super easy to be motivated, I had so much fun.

I created "Slime Guardian" from nothing, I only had the three themes, I chose "Sticky Justice" and tried to brainstorm, after some time I had finally come up with an idea.

I would make the game about slimes, a common RPG enemy so I could fit the theme and have something to work with, I made a story where they would rescue a human child, the story would continue to show them raising the child until they would be old enough to be an adventurer, the name implies the slimes are guardians or that the child would become the guardian of the slimes.

The feedback I got for my demo was actually very useful, I learnt a lot about how to improve my game with examples like speeding up the battle pace, improving the collision and adding more than a single battle. Everyone said nice things about the game too, it was really wonderful.

This demo I made for the Butterscotch ShenaniJam will always be available for free even when I release any remasters of this game.
