Hey mate. Two questions, how do you feel about pixel art, and second what do you plan for the jam? Are you planning to go all in or will you be jamming after your work/ other responsibilities? 

Hey, I am a fan of pixel art that works. I plan on working on it every day during the jam, for multiple hours a day (from around 3 PM-whenever I sleep) with breaks of course.  I work from home as a software engineer so I am flexible. How about you?

I took a week off from work for the jam, but my gaming partner had to cancel last minute due to some unforeseen circumstances. I'm not sure what to do at the moment, I do want to take part in the jam but on the other hand, I'm worrying I may not be the best fit for complete stranger. I got used to working with the same team over the years, and right now I'm kind of checking the available options for me. Anyway you can check my itch page, you'll find there all my brackets jam projects from previous jams, and some more. My pixel art is very cartoonish and heavily inspired by GBA graphics. 

I live in the UK though English is my second language. The time zones difference shouldn't be a problem as I'm mostly active at night. 

I see. I did check out your stuff and its great, I like your style a lot. My challenge is that I have never worked on a team in a game jam, but I’ve been looking to team up with an artist for a while because I would like to collaborate with someone instead of doing everything myself. I am down to team up on this, seems like we will be a little out of both our comfort zones and there will be a learning curve, but I think it will work out. So I am good team up if you are mate, you can also check out my stuff too see how I design and build games.

I'm such an idiot, I wrote down a big message and accidentally deleted it without posting. I think we should just have a voice call at this point, ask each other any remaining questions to conclude if we are compatible to work together, and make our decision that way. Let me know what you think ;) 

Sounds good, but I won’t be able to talk until the jam starts unfortunately though, I am on holiday today. If that timing works for you I set set up a chat on discord. If not, thats ok.

Yeah works fine but I can't promise I won't find a team before that if that's ok. 

Its ok, you can go find a another team, I don’t think the timing is going to work great for me this week anyway and I don’t want to kept you waiting. Best of luck my friend, excited to see what you make.

Yeah no worries and thank you. I don't think I'll end up making anything cause so far I turned down every offer. I prefer to work in smaller teams and prefer to be solo artist on a project. I'm really bad with adapting other people art styles :P Still if anything changes let me know and I hope you'll find time to make a game in the end. If you end up making something dm me on discord bigwhiteshogun#7424

Sounds good, I will definitely be making something so I still think it will be worth to talk. I will add you on discord and set up a call after the theme reveal to see if we can make something work.
