- This a remote jam, so figure out your file-sharing strategy beforehand, if you can. Whether it be Discord drops or some sort of SCM like git. And test it, test it, test it!
- Like #1, if you have a pretty good idea of what tools you are going to use, install them and test. Run through some demos. Gather some skeleton code. You don't want to burn several hours (or the whole jam) doing this at the start of the jam.
- Get some assets built and/or code written before going home on the first night. I see some teams hit the ground running, but I see others only do planning on the first night. Planning is great... but, personally, I'd rather start the second day feeling I'm already in the middle of a project instead of trying to find our start-up momentum.
