Engine recommendations?

Hey! I’m super excited for this jam :)

What engines are people thinking about using? I’ve used PhaserJS and Pico8 a little bit, and I’m trending towards the former since I use javascript in my day job.

Ooh I’ve heard of that one! It all sounded a bit intimidating but I will check it out, thanks! :)

learn up on your c# i'll tell you that right away.

I'm a Unity dev myself, and must say one of its biggest pros is the vast amount of resources out there to learn and use it with.
If you want to push yourself into learning something new this jam, you could give it a look. If you're in the discord and have questions, hit me up!

Thanks! I'm going to give Unity a go on BogdanJab's recommendation. Been reading tutorials all weekend. It's going to feel weird using a GUI-based code environment instead of the command line, after so long in JS land!

Since you're familiar with PICO-8, maybe LÖVE?

This looks cool, thanks for the recommendation! Will have to give it a try for the next game jam ;)
