We currently have 28 people registered for Text Adventure Literacy Jam 2023 and 34 registered on the Discord server with maybe 10 people that are registered on both. That means there are about 52 people interested in the jam, but only a small percentage of those are likely to submit a game.

We are nearly three weeks into the jam, yet there is very little discussion on either the itch Community page or the Discord server. This got me wondering. Do you plan on entering a game? If so, how's it going? Have you finished the design? Have you started coding? Do you need any help?

Don't be shy. Please share your progress. We don't want people feeling like they're working in a vacuum. There are plenty of people on here, including past participants, who would be happy to answer questions and share their experiences.

I do plan on entering a game. I have my idea and the beginning started, but have a long way to go. I don’t enter as many jams as I would like since dad life can be pretty busy, but some of the first games I ever played were IF, so wanted to get in on this one.

I am writing my adventure game in ADL. There are already 7 locations (out of planned 11) with a bunch of items.  I'm sticking with the scenario that helps a lot. There are only few days left, but I hope I will submit my entry. I have also some important projects on computer-science studies. Good luck to everyone.

It's neat to see who is going to enter, and I'm going to enjoy seeing the entries! I definitely want to review all of them if I can. It's been fun the past couple years.

It's weird. I don't see myself ever entering, as nothing I have matches up with it (I like doing weird things with the parser.) I'm just glad something like this is out there, and it's lasted and seemingly gotten bigger.
