First Time Jammer

How does Bob Marley like his donuts? With jammin'!

I have been looking forward to joining my first ever game jam; however, I've an underlying anxiety about producing something that isn't very good that drives me to want to create something half decent in 72 hours. I do believe I can make something fun with these constraints; sometimes it actaully works to one's own advantage.

I have made a game in 3 days before; that was my "Super Idle Imagination" clicker satiremade in Flash 8 with AS2 a few years ago. You can check that out here: http://MadeByChaz.com/superidleimagination.html Flash was great for prototyping. This time I'll be using a tool that I've been learning while in isolation, GameMaker Studio 2. I'll be doing everything (art, design, music, code) myself.

I haven't gone through the list of possible themes and written down suggestions for all of them. I'm going to try take a more relaxed approach to the jam and just see what inspiration strikes when the theme is announced.

I shall probably record a timelapse of my screen rather than streaming as I work for I shall most likely be wrestling with my software for most of it!

Anyways, good luck and have fun! See you on the other side :)
