Really interesting read! I always wondered what it took to develop on those platforms, obviously not enough to do the research myself. Thanks for this!

It might not be exactly what you are looking for, but post-mortems are great ways to get info/inspiration. This is a good example:

Incidentally, super game jam episode 1 was released on steam recently (yesterday?). I watched it, but I don't know if I got anything from it. Maybe 30 minutes is too short for an episode? Maybe the cool part is seeing contrasts between the five teams in the series?

Yes, it's not a bargain. That is for all five episodes though. Perhaps they will have a sale to renew interest when the second clip is released?

I wish steam could stream movies btw. The super game jam folder is already 3 GB. I imagine that will grow to 15 GB when the last episode is released. What if I want to rewatch one of the episodes a year from now, I would have to redownload that entire 15 GB chunk? That's 6 hours with my connection...

If steam continues releasing movie content, that will be unbearable.
