Global Game Jam

Date: One weekend each January (2018-2025)
Software: Unity (and an assortment of other tools and programs)
Project type: Global Game Jam (48 hours)

The Global Game Jam is a yearly adventure in which I work with different teams for one weekend and create a complete game within 48 hours.
For me, this is a time to simultaneously have a lot of fun developing something that is oftentimes silly, but it also creates an incredible lineup of games in which I can see my growth as a creator and team player.
