Greetings,

EngJam is seeking Mentors to answer a brief set of questions over email or Zoom. Your interview will be shared with jam participants to motivate and inspire them.

Some questions might include:

  • how did you decide you needed a custom engine?
  • Do you prefer rushing towards a minimum viable feature, or do you build to support your entire feature list?
  • How do you balance between extensibility and simplicity?
  • What keeps you motivated to continue?

If you have other questions you’d like to get answered by mentors, please post them here.

Other questions or relevant battle stories or personal anecdotes would be excellent inclusions.

Looking for real time chat / Discord? Because this is our first year, I’m not starting a new Discord server for this jam, and I recommend participants to come chat in the Linux Game Jam Discord server, which is open to the public. I think a lot of the values for these two jams overlap and I’d encourage EngJam participants to focus on employing your engine in the next Linux Game Jam!

Question: What is the thing that got you into game dev?
