So what's everyone's experience like?

I am a complete newbie, and really just in this as a hobby. Would love to hear from the rest of you!

Even if you are newbie or a pro, it's a hobby or professional, we all have something in common - we LOVE making games and this is what matters!

Happy you joined us, have fun :)

Hi.

  • Any mechanics.
  • Code - it's appreciated that it's yours and that the game was written from scratch - (in my opinion it's the whole point of game jams unless it's specified that any code can be used). You can use other code, but you have to write what parts are not yours.
  • If you work without artist It's OK to use assets (remember to give credits, also specify even if they are CC0).

I want to add one thing, don't be scared if your modeling or anything like that isn't as good as you would like. Sometimes even bad graphics give very good feel of the game, it's own style - just say that you planned it to look like this :). I encourage you to create everything on your own, It's a lot more pleasure in the end when you created everything on your own - doesn't matter how it looks!

Point of game jams are to develop yourself and find your weaknesses, also to have a lot of fun :).

I hope with every new jam you will be more skilled in code or modeling or anything that is about game development and more.

That was my bad not to specify things like code and modeling in the description and I promise I will fix this on the next game jam. Now I'm going to edit description of this jam about these questions. Also I will add criterias of voting.

My First Jam, I'm not the best developer but I can probably get this done, I can make the core mechanics fast and code quite well with unity, what engine you guys using and I'm also using cinema 4d to 3d model, photoshop to create textures!

Hi everybody,

I want to help some team creating the music and if necessary the sfx.

If anyone have interest in some original music for this game jam, please get in touch

I'm doing this one solo, sfx I will probably grab from my source which I use on other games. Music is ok for me to do because I can do piano music with MuseScore.
