The Jam starts on Friday, what perfect timing, a weekend of fun to get the ball rolling.

Here's a few tips on how to organize the Jam:

- Have your idea set / discuss with your team and get your itch page started!
- Have the artists come up with some 'concept art' how the game could look using their chosen art tools, this will help create a target 'Look Dev' that you are trying to create. 
- Program the basics with placeholders, if it works without graphics, it will work with graphics!
- Research additional features, modern games hold the key to improving older games but you can add your twist!
- Create builds regularly that people can test and engage with, no point in some empty screenshots although blogs are cool.!
- Consider sound and sound effects early, they can add enjoyment especially when testing.
- Allocate 50% of the time to art and sound production in the second half, you should try to have 1 independent coder but if you are a lone wolf here, then focus on the harder things first, that way it only gets easier and you wont be stuck with a good looking broken game.
- Reach out to more people, other devs here on itch might be around to contribute at the right time.
- Keep your blog up to date, each day you work, perhaps throw in some cool stuff you've just done with a quick sentence. By the end of the Jam the blog will be full of great stuff!

Happy NINJAMMING!!
