Hello gamers and devs,

I'm fairly novice when it comes to building things. I understand programming concepts, syntax (Python) but I get roadblocked when it comes to building. I have tons of ideas, I just get blanked out when it comes to making those ideas into projects. 

Would anyone be willing to let me shadow alongside them during their game jam efforts? In hopes that I can pick up on how things are done and eventually assist and build things alongside you rather than just shadowing. In return for guiding and teaching me I can do QA for you on the game(s) and the projects. I work professionally in quality assurance. I build test cases, test and fix errors in code where I can. 

I look forward to connecting with you guys.

I think when it comes down to it you just need to get to building something no matter how small it is. Game jams are a great place to do that cause you get to just experiment and make something nice in a couple of days. There's lots of courses on YouTube of just devs making a complete game in a couple of hours and when you watch enough of those I find that you are able to kind of pick their brains and get a good understanding of how you should approach making games. But I definitely think you should just give a game jam a shot you can be a solo dev, use basic shapes, and make something small to give you that initial boost of confidence. I have a game jam that is going to happen in a week or so and you can join if you want very beginner friendly

Hey! I love your initiative—game jams are a great way to grow fast. If you're still looking for someone to team up with, I’d be happy to connect and learn together. Let’s build something fun!
