Hi! I'm Zen, and I'm brand  new to game jams which is why it took me so long to find this. I have played text adventures before, but I don't think very many. This is my first times actually programming through an entire game, and not just making bits of code. I'm still new, and learning, I just hope that I'll improve enough that the game is entertaining! I've definitely written some computer programs for class, but nothing too fancy. I struggled to learn from my classes because I'm a hands-on learner, which is why this jam is perfect for me. I'm pretty young, about to go into my second year of college, and I live in the US. I'm not a good artist so I'll most likely do some rather plain pixel art.

It's nice to meet everyone, I'm excited to see everyone's games!

I think a hands-on approach works well, in a challenge like this where you've been given some code to start off with. I usually plan all my adventure games out on paper in advance, but for this one I just gradually built up a game by adding new sections, expanding the adventure as I went.

Nice to see lots of newcomers to adventure game writing on here.

Welcome zen. I do hope that you understood the introduction video, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the forums and someone will help you I'm sure.
