Could I win a game jam with an engine I’ve never used?

Heya Pals!

Here's my post mortem and impressions of making a game using godot for Ludum Dare 54! I'm super happy with the result, and I was so lucky to have so many of you tune in and play the game. Thanks for your support, and I hope you enjoy!

You can of course play the game here: https://uppon-hill.itch.io/though-i-walk
