I’ve became interested in gamejams for the last couple of days, so I should definitely try to participate in this one :)
This will be my first jam, and I’ve never completely finished a project, let alone in a limited amount of time. I’m already nervous if I’m gonna be able to organize myself.
Any tips for jam newbies like me?
First of, its not really about finishing a complete game. a small working prototype of a game idea is more what most gamejams are targetted at.
I usually try to make a list of things i need to do to get my game done and then make a plan in which order i will tackle them. That helps me to be a bit more organized and get at least something done.
Joining the Chat and talking to the other jamers is also a great way to stay motivated/focused. :)Thank you! This actually helps me quite a bit. Definitetly will be join IRC and the mailing list to talk more about it
This clashes with Ludum Dare right? Seems like a bit of an oversight, even if it’s longer.
Its only 4 days(out of 14) as it seems. Also the goals/general themes of the two jams are pretty different. Also with the amount of gamejams currently its pretty hard not to clash with any other jam.
Ludum Dare has a 21 day category this time.
