We had lots of fun doing this and I'm addicted to the game on the phone (don't like playing it on PC, totally different feel clicking)
We had 2 graphists, 2 programmer, 1 designer officially. The roles were more mixed than that. In practice we had 2 designers, 2 music producer, 3 programmer, 2 artists all that with 5 persons :D
I did very little programming toward the end to add secondary features.
I did the music for the Intro menu
I did keep the team on the same page about the design goals and features, even though the actual concept was a collaborative design.
We wanted to make a very minimal game with a flavor of old school Olympic games. The theme had a snake... Samuel had snakes, we didn't worry too much about the theme. The official statement was: "The snake was eating it's tail, the metaphor of the suicidal stunt."
The event was awesome, free, had free breakfast, good setting, free pizza and it was easy to find a team and you didn't have to work with people you already know and everybody has the same passion!
Slept 3 hour each night. Hard flood/sleeping bag but didn't feel tired or in pain. Caffeine consumption was 1.5 liter of Pepsi Max/ day. The team also ate once in a burger place, I took a big rack of pork ribs, didn't have to eat the last day :D.
The level of the competition was very high at our location. We didn't make it to top 3, and no further ranking were provided but lucky would we be if we were in top 8 of our location. The end ceremony was disapointing, the awards were very fast, the teams were not called, you could barely hear the announcement, everyone had already packed, the winners were no shown and the results are not yet on the web.
