No game engine

I am planing not to use anygame engine, I am taking this as a challenge. I am only going to use SDL and Box2d, for rendering and physics. Is this a good idea or should I forget about it this time. NOTE : I have 7 years of unity experiance.

I'll do it as well. Although I spent a couple of months developing a small but quite flexible 2D engine with SFML so I'm not really starting from zero on that front.. GL!

I don't know about SFML that much, the only thing i know is that its high level, and SDL is low level, which makes harder,  unfortunately I didn't learn SFML as a begginer I started with SDL which is a pain the a*s,  but yeah good luck for you too. ☺

Go ahead! Plenty of folks make entries without an engine.

You have 7 years of unity experience but can't spell experience?

It's because English is my third language, although this feels so embarrassing 😅

its ok, I was just joking around

If I tried that I would def lose lol I only have 2 years of unity experience

You never know.

trust me when I started using SDL, I realized that I don't know anything about gamedev or how computers work in general. If you tried not using any game engine, you will be confused at first but then you won't be able to use any game engine again. Just give it a shot.

Alr ill give it a shot

To be honest with you I just don't know how you can do that it's already diffucult for me in my engine(Godot) but with no engine i will be lost. 

but i mean it's you're choice do whatever you think will be the best and the most fun:)

A game jam is the best time to learn!  I use game jams more to learn new skills than I do to make a good game.

The worst that happens is you don't finish the game on time which is fine because there are game jams every week to try again!
