I want to participate in a game jam but have yet to learn any thing like unity, I found i'm good at using scratch, but I am worried that it is not formal or viable. (Also, if you're not sure what scratch is, here's a link: https://scratch.mit.edu/ ) I am accepting of any feed back of any kind.
thank you for helping me - SushiRat
While it's certainly not as powerful as something like Unity or Game Maker, Scratch can still be used to make games - I'm not sure how the submitting process works, but there's a website to download a Scratch project as an HTML, and there's probably more converters you can use from there to convert it to whatever you need!
I don't want to speak for anyone else, but if it isn't allowed, submit a game anyway. It's incredible that there are so many young people in this jam (I guess we have Brackey's videos to thank for that, so a special shout-out to the man), but unless the jam calls for specific engines, which this one doesn't, if someone tries to discourage you from participating because you're using Scratch then they should be flung out a series of windows.
Making games is kind of like being a Wizard, or a little God, creating your own worlds and inviting people to enjoy them. No one should be discouraged from being the master of their own Universe. If you do get discouraged... do it anyways.
