My First Game Jam: Summer 2021

Little Spy is my entry in the My First Game Jam: Summer 2021.

The theme for the jam was ✨Free✨. My interpretation of the theme is to create a game using only tools that are free software, free of cost, or game assets that are free or in the public domain.

In keeping with the Free theme, I released the game project and code under an MIT license.

Dev Log

I've been wanting to learn Godot for a while now, so decided to use this jam as motivation. I haven't written a game since the 1980s, but I have a background in software development. My DevLog from the jam is below:

Tools

I used these excellent tools to make the game.
