This is my first jam, I´ll be entering alone though it´s possible that a friend may end up helping in some way. I´ve never done anything remotely similar to making a game in a couple of days, so any tips are more than welcome :)

Good luck everyone!

Welcome! IMHO after we disclose the jam theme you should try and find a nice little idea. Something simple that you know you can develop in a small amount of time! Then you can spend the rest of the weekend to polish and upgrade it.

And remember to have fun!!

This is my first game Jam too, so thanks for the advice. Our school got closed cause of the virus so I thought I would try it out. Thanks!

Yo I'm doing the same thing.

You always need to get the right amount of sleep,  keep all your stuff in order, and save a lot. You can't make games when you are tired.

Awesome video, I like a lot the idea of being in a labyrinth with a million exits. I´ll definitely use this, thanks a lot!

Cool video! Getting my son into game development and asked him to take on the role of game designer for this game jam. This video will help him (and me!) a lot. Thanks!
