Weekly Game Music: Vinelle Island (Fantasy Earth Zero)

Coming Up With a Game in Global Game Jam
In Global Game Jam 2012, I came up with…12, no 13 different game ideas. Yeah, I had a lot of ideas. But how? Coming up with a game idea in a short time might seem difficult at first. But believe it or not, it isn’t: understanding the context of the situation, and letting your gut…
