I have c and c++ knowledge but very little game-making experience.  Anyone want to give me a shot?

Hey!

What kind of game-making experience do you have? (Unity/UE4/Other engine or home made engine)

I can't take more people in my group right now (because it's already hard enough to organize with 2+ people :P), but I can give you some pointers to help you! If you never used an engine, you can spend the few days before the jam poking at Unity as it's relatively easy to start with it, it will allow you to make a small game for the jam! :)

Also, one day before the jam I'll send a message to all the participant to invite them to check the forum if they need a team, I'm sure some people will be happy to take you in!

I did a couple of days learning unity, although I should learn a little more.

You can check this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYbK_tjZ2OrIZFBvU6CCMiA (Brackeys) and this one https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Z1XWw1kmnvOOFsj6Bzy2g (BlackThornProd). They have some pretty good tutorial that can help boost a bit your learning days.
