I'm new to making games, will there be any help? This Game Jam is about sharing our passions. There'll be people on the Discord server to help out if you get stuck. Alternatively you could join/form a team. If you get super stuck, there are great game making tools that a super simple to use. They will be linked in the Discord server.

I have an amazing idea but don't know what I'm doing or know any game developers? You can try and join/form a team. Alternatively, you could try a simpler game making tool to help build a prototype that you could expand upon later. Twine is a super easy way to start. There's also a Unity tutorial called 'Roll-A-Ball' that takes you through the basics.
