Longgame Tech Innovation Jams are about helping you develop fun and interesting game mechanics that you can use later in other games.
The jam focus for LTIJ19 is a mechanic having to do with feathers. This can mean whatever you want! It's simply some inspiration.
Don't feel pressured to make something super intricate or polished; it's more about having time to craft something you find interesting.
These game jams are about developing fun and interesting mechanics, public sharing of art, and promoting and encouraging Lisp.
