In days 29-31.01.2010 we participated in KrakJam 2010, which one of the local editions of Global Game Jam 2010.
Our team was made of Bionic Nose members and guest appearance of Havock.
Topic of the competition was "Deception". Three additional topics for our time zone were: a key, a monkey, a donkey.
According to this guidelines, we made a game called "Infinite Burglary". Player is a thief who is breaking in by making keys which fit to the specified door. Deception lies in the fact that you can play forever and the game ends in victory by giving up and getting caught by the police. Justice triumphs and we get a trophy as a prize. Additionally game fulfilled "Universal Language Game" achievement, which means that game has absolutely no text or numbers.

Postmortem
a) What went right?
- we managed to create everything what we've planned
- job distribution. There were no idle time. When Luke was programming, Peter was planning next stages of work. Magda and Havock were consulting graphical issues. In the end Luke and Peter were programming different functionalities in parallel, which resulted in very quick code creation.
b) What went wrong?
- we were at least one hour short at the end of the competition and some of the game elements were made too fast, which resulted in malfunctions.
- our breaks were not optimal, we were taking a break only when we're totally beat up. That resulted in lack of our productivity. We should've taken shorter breaks more often.
This competition has shown that we're capable to plan, make and finish our conceptions in specified amount time.
Hope to see you again on next Global Game Jam.
