Hi!

I'm asking a question about the jams themselves and the game creators...

Do you guys see all other creators who are involved in the jam? Is this the kind of thing you support one another in, or is it more "Every man for himself"? I'm asking because it just seems pretty sweet and inclusive from the outside and I might get involved with them myself one day.

So.. Is that how it works? Or am I making up a fantasy world, here, haha.

Sorry for asking a question unrelated to the game, I'm not sure where else to look for answers and it just popped into my mind while reading through your comment section.

(Tim) Hi! Glad you could stop by.

I'd say a jam is what you make out of it. As far as I know, most of the creators are active members of the Devtalk Discord, which is the biggest English visual novel development community on the Internet. However, the work itself is definitely quite solitary, unless your team does a lot of back and forth.

People in the jam can see other submissions as they roll in, and also play them if they so wish. I personally did go through the entries in the jams our studio participated in :) It's fun seeing what other people came up with!

Hey! I don't really have a whole lot to add since I think Tim covered it pretty well there :3

Personally, I'm a lurker type because of my anxiety, haha, so I don't really join in all that much with the community, but there's definitely a big community there if you're more sociable and active with that sort of thing! From what I've seen on Discord, the community is pretty friendly and supportive.

As Tim said, when it comes to actually working on your jam project, you probably won't have all that much communication outside of your jam team, but the Discord community is still there to discuss progress and ask for feedback on stuff if you want it :3 I've never seen anyone being nasty or anything like that. I'm sure it must happen occasionally as it tends to in every community, but for the most part, it seems like a lovely place!

When it comes to jams, I tend to shut out most things and focus on the project, but once the jam is over, I always try my best to play all the other games that are submitted and leave some form of comment/feedback for the devs :3 It's just a really nice way to finish the jam and see what everyone else has come up with.

These jams are a lot of fun! I'd say definitely give em a go if you feel like it :3 Just try not to get addicted to them like I have xD

@Tim I'm so sorry, I totally forgot to come back and comment once I finished going through the demo >.< I don't want to spoil anything, but I adored the bit at the very end, haha. It made me laugh and I thought it was very cute :3 I love stuff like that when you're not expecting it.

Okay, huh, that's pretty detailed, thanks. I was curious about the community, as well, so you've really helped out, hehe. It sounds like the kind of thing I want to give a try, now! Thanks XD Have a good week, hehe. Imma definitely give it a go, now.
