TL;DR : First Game Jam ! :)
(First of all, sorry if there is some mistakes, I'm not English sooo .. :D )
First Game Jam too !
I see that people are posting their lil' story about it and mine is a bit cool too so I'll try to explain.
Something like 10 years ago, I was playing on a game server with someone else and I was really happy to play with this person, it was one of the first game where I just wanted to go back in the game to share some good moments with someone else that I only know from / by this game.
Sadly, the server has stopped running and the Teamspeak (or Mumble, I don't remember) has stopped running at the same time.
Discord and every other things were not created / as popular as nowadays so sometimes if a game server was down, it was hard to find a person somewhere else.
Maybe one month ago, while talking to people from a YouTuber Discord server, I saw a profile pic' which was the same than this person had 10 years ago, what I was going to do was going to be soooo dumb, but I asked to this person if she was the same person than this person I was playing with 10 years ago.
Guess what ? I was right.
Less than one month later, we're - with a friend of her - participating to a Game Jam, 10 years later.
I always had game's ideas, dreams, etc. But I never took the time / had the opportunity to makes anything else than a Game Design Document.
This was the opportunity to finally make something.
I'm not good at Pixel Art, I'm not good at anything, but I'm trying to do my best to make them proud of our project and to be useful to them.
If we're uploading a game which makes them proud, I'll be the happiest guy of this Game Jam, trust me. :)
This was my lil' story about this first Game Jam, I hope we're gonna have the opportunity to make everything we wants and to make some others in the future.
