It's also my first game jam! Reading this really boosted my confidence, just wondering if a 2d platformer with a scrolling camera is too ambitious for this game jam. I think a bullet-hell platformer would fit the theme of Overload really well but it might take too much time. I'm using pygame and python, not sure what you will be using but any advice? Thank you in advance?
This is also my first game jam! I don't have high expectations for my game, so I am aiming to make something small and not go too ambitious! I'm thinking of a bullet hell platformer to go with the theme Overload but that might take too much time. Good luck!
Number one - I'm 90% certain that is against the rules. But it is not like anyone can know for sure if you started making the game beforehand. Just don't. Don't. The whole point of a game jam is that you have a limited amount of time, if you have problem with making the game within the time, it is probably best you switch to a game jam with a longer time limit.
