Hello! I have never led a game-jam team before. Please entrust your time, effort, and remaining sanity to me and pray that everything works out.

Since everyone apparently appears to be looking for a team and nobody is assembling one, I have decided to make the objectively questionable choice of volunteering for exactly that.

About me:

  • Basic Unity and C#
  • Can use GitHub
  • Have participated in exactly one game jam
  • It did not go well
  • Therefore, I possess valuable firsthand knowledge of what failure looks like

I’m looking for people who are also relatively inexperienced and want to make something  manageable, do-able, and actually submit it.

An artist and composer would be especially helpful, along with anyone interested in audio, writing, design, or Unity programming.

My proposed leadership qualifications are:

  • I can create a group chat
  • I can create the GitHub repository
  • I can keep a task list
  • I can repeatedly ask, “Can we actually finish this in a week?”
  • I am now deeply afraid of overscoping

This would be collaborative rather than “I have a brilliant idea and require workers.” We would choose the concept together after seeing what everyone can do.

Come join the world’s (probably) least overconfident game-jam team.

Hi there! I'd love to join-up and fill the composer role. Depending on their availability, I could even reach-out to some sound-designer friends of mine to handle that end.

I've completed one jam before, as well as a small indie-game project with a friend of mine; and my experience is entirely with Unity. While I haven't used GitHub before, I'm sure I can gain a basic-understanding of it before the jam begins in two weeks! Let me know if you'd like to bring me on whenever you get the chance!

Wonderful! Do you perhaps know of anyone else we could also recruit?

Let me put some feelers out and see if I can find us a sound-designer! I'll reply here if one of my friends tells me they're free.

Do you know how I could send you a discord invite link?

Hey! I'm a 2D artist, I've done a small jam project + joined in really late to another one to do some art and would love to be part of this team! I have the games i worked on in my profile,  but i can give more examples if you are still looking for an artist! I focus mostly on characters but can make simple assets like items or lower quality backgrounds ^^

Great! Do you know how I could send you a discord invite link?

Hi mate, I'd love to join if you still have room! I've worked on 2/3 games before doing concept/3D art. I haven't yet actually been in a game jam though so I'm looking for a team project to work on! Where can I get in touch I'm not sure I can find a discord for this jam 

Great! Do you know how I could send you a discord invite link?

Hey im a composer and sound designer looking for a jam to help build my portfolio. If you don't have a music person I'd love to help:)

Oh wait it looks like you have one. I missed that thread. Good luck!!

Are you still on the lookout?

Yes

Hey I'm a game and  narrative designer. This is my first jam but I have worked on game design before and I'm currently working on my solo dev project as well. 
If you need a designer let me know.
Discord: Nightely

great! Could you perhaps tell me what you mean by "narrative designer"?

Sure.
Narrative design is about connecting story and gameplay. I focus on designing how the story is experienced through gameplay, including dialogue, quests, environmental storytelling, pacing, and player choices, rather than just writing the story itself. Although writing is also part of the process. 

in that case, come on in!

would love to join as a 2D artist if youre still looking! I mainly do concept art and character design but I can also do environments, props and creature design :)

Our game is a 3d action adventure. Is that okay?

yeah thats okay! 

In that case, come on in! https://discord.gg/v7SpHe3J

Hi! Apologies for the late reply however I was recommended to reach out by a member of your team. I'm an amateur illustrator and character designer inspired by promotional and concept art for games from around the mid 90s. Most of my work is 2D as a result but if you have room still left on your team I'd be willing to help out. Otherwise I hope your project goes well!

Oh, wow!
Come on in! https://discord.gg/v7SpHe3J
