Let's Go!
It's officially the first day of the Game Jam! Summer Camp 2024 has begun. If you're not in the Discord yet I encourage you to sign up as it'll be a great place to discuss your ideas and support others in the same process as you. Game design doesn't have to be lonely work. In fact, some of my best stuff has come out of talking with other designers. If you're still hunting for an idea this could be the place to help nail things down.
Have Questions?
If you need clarification on anything please, please ask. While the SRD is as comprehensive as it can be, there may still be unclear areas. If I'm aware of where those are I can fix it and it'll help everyone involved. This is the first stress test of the document so your input can have a large impact on its future.
Not A Race
I just want to leave off that remember, this is not a race but a marathon. Take your time and find enjoyment in the process, not in the end product. A part of fun of game design is the discovery process. It's those little moments of "AHA!" when you break through a problem and the flood gates of creativity open. Let yourself be open to all of the possibilities. But none of that can happen if you're sprinting the entire time. Leave time for the slow moments.
OK, campers lets start jamming!
