Hey!
I'd like to try to do a small game for this, do you have any initial story concepts? I can do simple Bug Fables style graphics and 3D environments, and I have been a professional programmer for ~16 years.
I'd want to use GameMaker, and I can provide external scripting support easily so no worries if you don't use it. The IDE is free now however and we can publish to GX.games for free I think? I have a commercial perpetual license though so I can just provide builds too.
p.s. if there's a way to DM people on itch.io I have somehow not yet discovered it. I'm "airways" on the GameMaker and Clickteam Fusion forums. I guess there's probably a discord for this jam? Anyway lmk if you're still looking for a team for this jam and think you'll have the time to work on it, have been looking for a narrative person for a bit now!
