Hello there,
My 10y old son told me he registered for a gamejam on this website (I never heard of itch.io before)
He has been waiting (impatiently) for the theme, which cameout 2 days ago with the title "out of control"
He has been coding on Scratch since he was 5y (and I lost track of his progress since 2y)
I am away from home and he send me an E-mail today that he uploaded his game with 6 hours to spare.
I just had a look at it its at: https://johnluijken.itch.io/footballmania , a simple 2 player football game
But he did the coding, including ball physics completely independantly, and for a 10y old its pretty cool I think.
I just registred myself on itch.io so I can write this message.
I am really proud of him that he did this without any help although he doesnt stand a chance off course with most coders being much older and better than him. It would really be nice if you can show him some love (comment/follow/like etc) to boost his confidence.
Thanks again
A proud dad
