This will be the working devlog for my game being developed for #MyFirstGameJam .

So far, I just have an engine picked out and a genre, I will be developing my game in GDevelop 5, it will be a platformer game.

The goal will be to get a player moving around of course, a start screen, at least 5 levels/stages to run around in, some collectibles or a scoreboard, maybe a powerup, a few enemies to deal with, maybe a boss, and an ending.

GDevelop is still kind of new so there isn't many tutorial resources out yet but so far I have felt comfortable with it and so it seems like I'll be figuring out some of it as I go. The game making process starts today! Good luck to my other fellow jammers as well!

ahh yeah i was going to say i hadn't heard too much about it--if you get the chance it may be useful to share the resources you do come across on your devlog in case anyone else is interested in picking them up!

also i like that you have solid deliverables in mind--as well as the "maybe..." for your reach goals!

So far, I have found two helpful resources: the first of course is the GDevelop Wiki, it has some tutorials to get you started and there is also a YouTube series by Sparckman that shows how to make a Mario style platformer in the engine.

awesome! thanks for the links.
