What's a good length for a demo? It just took me 35 minutes to beat mine, but I imagine it will be a lot longer for others

I joined the Air Force at 17 doing IT. Discovered I loved making games in college and left after a decade when I had a few prototypes under my belt and got in with the right people

Niknak @nikthenak.bsky.social · Aug 3

decided to participate in the GMTK 2025 gamejam and we made a prototype for a game called Board to Death!

I was fighting with a popular third party haptics plugin about this. Thankfully they caved and updated their package to support it.
