How do I art? While programming is something I’m quite good at, drawing things is not something I consider to be a strength. However, I don’t just want to make a text adventure or the like because I already have an idea I quite like. It does need some form of art and I don’t really know how to make it. It’s like, I have an idea of what the game would look like in my head but I don’t know how to turn that into graphics? If that makes sense?

Sure! Learning how to draw from scratch is fun, but if you want solid results in one month, I recommend using one of the many free libraries of assets online. Open Game Art, Pexels, freepik and many others - I'm sure you can find something fitting your game after looking for a while.

In some cases, it might be possible to get great results in a month by just using references and trying to recreate them - especially useful with pixel art or very simple 2D art. In this case, download GIMP or other free art software and try to copy someone else's work at first just to learn how they did it, then do your own. It might be hard with more advanced digital painting style, though.  

That makes sense. I have a book on how to make pixel art, so I’ll probably try to make some pixel art. I think the main trouble will be trying to make a tile set and character sprites.

Hi, I make pixel art. Let me know if you'd like my help for this jam. Here's some of my stuff  https://www.develteam.com/Developer/Yeramia

I like your name Ashton Snapp. I just woke up, and found this. I have very little programming experience, outside of the creation kit from TES.   I would like to start learning how to code so I just bought an Alienware Aurora R13 to kickstart my creative interests. In all honesty I didn't read the terms of service on this one. So if I could make a game with my current skillset I would do more of an interactive show, but I don't know if that's a plausible argument with the terms of the pack. I would probably use Snapchat to shoot the videos, seeing how I'm not active on any other socials currently. It's also a very valid platform for video editing, if you know what people like. So Ashton I really like your username, and I'm really loving this world of darkness material. 

Yo what's up boss
