Lets Make a MEGA TEAM for the Community Game Jam!

[Briljasan]

Yo guys,

long story short, a bunch of channels are getting together to make a huge game jam, if you do not know about it & want in depth details about it, here is the link, https://itch.io/jam/cgj

But before we get into the thick of it, let me address a couple of really important things:

1. Why use a crazy old forum? In my personal opinion, a crazy old forum is the best way to wrangle & manage a bunch of conversation in parrallel, this is probably due to my age, but there are so many features that only a crazy old forum can offer.
   
2. How will such a huge team break up the prize if we win? Well if you join my team, you wont have to worry about that because you will be prize disqualified. Now please listen carefully, if you want to win that sweet sweet prize bounty, I highly recommend you NOT joining my team & finding another team or riding this one solo, for my ambitions to do this is purely for fun, & for a learning experience.
   

Anywho, I thought it'd be fun & interesting to try & gather a bunch of people from this community to just pool together game dev labor to make something cool. I am looking for all positions, from Artists, to Programmers, to sound designers, to producers, to hype men & women, whatever! The more the merrier! You can contribute as little or lot as you wish! Want to just be on the game ideas team & then once that is decided, have no responsibility? You're more than welcome. Want to just write a single script or draw a single sprite & leave, we welcome you. The idea is to develop some simple game idea over the span of a week, but have fun while doing it.

But Jabril isn't this just going to be a huge mess?

Why, yes it is, but it is going to be a beautiful huge mess! & we are all going to learn from the process. I think its possible to create something cool if the organization is right, I mean we have a full week.

So, if you are interested in joining, request to join this user group (you'll need to register, I apologize) & ill accept you a little bit later, then you'll have access to the secret planning forums!

What are you waiting for let's do this & have some fun!

[frecklebars]

Sounds like fun! I'm down! Sadly, I doubt I'll be able to contribute much with code but I'll be more than happy to do artworks/sprites/anything related to art and even help with ideas and such

[Briljasan]

that is completely fine! Request to join the group & lets get you on board!

Here I am, a beginner Python coder.

[AdventurousFurball]

So what do we do once we've joined?

[wildcat23]

I doubt I’ll be able to help as my programming and artistic skills are limited, but I’d like to hang around and watch the development process as it’s happening.

[jzbor]

Hey, I know I'm a bit late (don't know how long the jam is on). If you could use someone with python, java and a bit of bash/linux and android skills - I would be glad to help.

[Briljasan]

In order to see it you have to join this group.

I think the application to join might need to be manually accepted, so it might take a while.

[Markis_Jr.]

Honestly hyped and I would love to contribute and learn as much as possible! But for some reason I can join the gamejam group automatically without requesting access but then it still says "you need special permission" when I try to access the thread relating to what topic the game should be on.
EDIT: I was being an idiot...

[AdventurousFurball]

Checked out the ideas and stuff on the thread but at the bottom there's a message saying one of the ideas has won and now the thread is closed, so what now?
