Interesting read! I would personally have chosen to write about an artefact created for the game project, but this also sounds like a relevant experience. I noticed some sentence structures that were slightly “off” and one spelling mistake, but I have no trouble understanding the text.

While you explain your interpretation of the theme of the jam and write that your group had similar thoughts, I would have liked a short presentation of some ideas that did not end up making the cut and why these were discarded.

Your game, or your interactable story as you call it, sounds like a beautiful and creative idea! I would have enjoyed seeing the animation of the different growth stages, from sapling to grown tree. Also, a brief discussion about design decisions would not have been amiss, for example how the work was divided (if you were more than one artist), deciding about colors, what tree to create et cetera.

Finally, you mentioned Photoshop as the chosen work tool and that you gained valuable knowledge working on this project. I would have appreciated a brief mention on how you used Photoshop and what you felt was the most useful knowledge or skill gained from the game jam.

Seems like I missed a great time by not attending the game jam and it sounds like it was a beneficial opportunity for you. I wish I could have seen your finished product, as it sounds like an original and appealing creation!
Good work!
