I knew literally nothing.
I was around 9 or 10 when I made my first game. I woke up one morning and thought "I like games, I wanna make one". So I learned how to use RPG Maker and made a minigame where you play a farmer chasing a cow called Run Steak Run. I did it with built in assets and RPG Maker's visual scripting tools because I did not know how to code or art.
Not sure if I'll have time to remake it for the jam (which probably looks bad since I'm an organizer) but I might dig it up and post it for all to see and laugh at.
