Hey there, I'm looking to join this Jam as my first. I'm a seasoned programmer who is an expert in many languages, but I'm new to game development. I've made some small things by myself in Monogame, Godot, and Unity with free assets. I'd prefer Unity to develop games from now on, and I'm looking to collaborate with someone like you to try and make a game as there's nothing like working together to really learn something. This would be my first game jam, although I've attended plenty of hackathons before just not for game development.
I'm actually interested in making a game reminiscent of the current times, at least in the US. Perhaps a top down adventure or platformer starring Frederick Douglas and other emancipation heroes, like Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman.
DM me if you would like to chat a bit about it. I'm in EST too, so only 1 hour behind you, so our time zones would work.
