I'm an indie dev that makes bitsy games that are not driven by mechanics alone but also storytelling. this is my first game jam and I hope it goes really well and its also my first time in middle school soon and I'm pretty excited for both.
wish y'all luck :)
Pro tip from someone who's been doing this a while:
Don't skip learning shaders. Took me way too long to realise how important they were.
I wish you the best of luck! I still remember my first game jam. It was probably over half a decade ago now.
