Hey folks,
I'm Riley, a student game developer and writer from UCI. I'm no industry professional, but I'm very familiar with game development and game jams. As the outgoing president for the Video Game Development Club at UCI, I've work with people who are new to game development often.
While I'm not sure if I'll be working solo or looking for a team, I'm happy to help if anyone needs it, whether that be navigating itch.io, scoping your project for a jam, or matching game mechanics to your narrative. Feel free to message me here or on the Narrascope Discord (@Dsaname). And if not me, there seem to be plenty of folks here to help, so just let us know. Xuelder's topic in the Community Tab has a lot of good points that I definitely agree with.
Good luck and happy jamming!
