Usually, jams are hosted on itch.io, but they also use Crowd Forge and Discord too.
Crowd Forge is indeed very efficient for team building and Discord is useful to communicate. The idea with your Discord server is that it will features multiple channels. For example, you will have a "team building" channel, a "announcements" channel, a "project updates" channel, a "ressource" channel, etc. Moreover, at the end of the jam, it helps people to share their project with other participants and get feedback !
Here is a game jam's discord server example if you want to see what I'm talking about : https://discord.gg/x2n6PBE It was created for the HEART JAM (https://itch.io/jam/heartjam) and has since become a server for participants to share their day to day projects.
I'm available during the Gothic Novel Jam so hit me up if you have any audio needs for your project. I usually compose for video games, but I'm open to anything, so don't hesitate to contact me if you would like a track to accompany your poem/story/picture or if you have any crazy idea !
I do agree with Lily, a discord server would be nice! It helps a lot to create teams and share project updates instead of creating a new post on itch.io every time.
and it also makes the jam more friendly since you can talk with the other participants!
I'm available during the Heart Jam if you need music for your game. I can also work on soundeffects even if I'm less experienced in this area. Considering that games created during game jams are usually short ones, I might even be able to work on a couple of games, so don't hesitate to hit me up.
