Yes I thoroughly enjoy taking part in jams, the learning and the creating and especially the encouraging newbies. But thoroughly hate the part where games get judged and compared and ranked, so this has actually worked out pretty well for me!
I joined the GWJ for the first time just last month and it’s a really nice supportive community, definitely won’t be doing it every month but I should have time for this anniversary one. Jams vary a lot in quality but I can definitely vouch for that one.
