This is my first time participating in a Wowie Game Jam! I am a 10-year-old game developer and I am going to go solo. I will not be joining the discord server as I am underage! Oh and btw, is there any age restrictions to this jam???

Wow, that's very young for being a game developer! No, there are no age restrictions for participating :)

Best of luck with the jam. Hope you'll make something awesome!

nice! I am 11, and this is also my first time participating in a Wowie Game Jam. Maybe, because of the small timeframe, we could team up(if you like). What language/engine do you use? (I use HTML Canvas & JavaScript to make my games)

Great! I am sorry but my parents do not allow me to team up :(. I use unity as the game engine and krita for art. I am a very bad artist band a decent programmer

Hey! I'm 11 too, and I use Godot, but have some experience with HTML/CSS/JS with React. If you are interested, we could team up? I tried a few game jams (solo), but I couldn't submit for most of them due to the small timeframe. I don't do sound much (I usually use random SFX makers like SFXR), and my art isn't much better (when I do make some, it's usually pixelart with aseprite), but I should be able to program something for the game.

I'd love to. I have a youtube channel where I make videos about my music and programming projects:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYCxo3ZNnWN1UxEGtoIzZEA

I could make the music and some sprites or I could program and you design (or something like that).

Great! Is it okay if we use Godot (It's much easier to create games with many features with a game engine)

Also, how can we communicate?


P.S. I just submitted a game for a game jam. Want to try it? https://itch.io/jam/bwalter-jam/rate/872754

Okay. I have no experience with the engine, but I can make art and music for it. I may be able to learn some godot in the next few months, though.

We could communicate using google meet, hangouts, email... I'll be okay with using any communication platform.

Your game was very cool! mine aren't very good because I do not use a game engine. How much time did you have to make it?

Used 72 hours (in a game jam). Luckily, I managed to submit it in the last 30 seconds. I keep thinking I learned my lesson and to prepare everything beforehand, but I seem to always fall into the same trap when I finish the game but don’t have time to submit :( (Of course, this time, I was lucky, but probably won’t be next time if I don’t change and certainly was not lucky before)

Okay, I sent you a hangouts request. I will start trying to learn a little godot today.

I have tried the Beginner's Circle 3 jam, but even with 2 weeks, I could not submit anything finished. Hopefully working as a team will make us more productive / have more motivation.

Nice. Investing your time into creativity and coding is always time well spent. Best of luck!! :)

Thank you, Jonas! I am a huge fan of you. Hopefully, my parents allow me to buy Will You Snail when it is out!!
