Thanks! I'm mostly a programmer but I can also make music and simple graphics if needed.

Well, we could have two programmers on a team, but it might be overkill lol
Were you looking to team up with someone? If I find teammates then whatever we build would have to stay a non-commercial project (We'd have to do it just for the love of the game so to speak)

Everything I have done on this website has been for the love of the game.

But yes, I was looking to join or form a team. Two programmers in a team can work, although I am used to a particular set of tools. For example I usually work with plain C++ instead of using an existing engine.

No pressure to team up if that sounds like it wouldn't work out.

Interesting choice of tooling! For this game jam I was just going to use Godot tbh. I do have a bunch of experience with C++ (using MFC and Qt for GUIs) but I don't think I'd want to try and do it for a video game unless it's something pretty specific? You mean C++ and not C# though?

Yes, C++ (with SDL for video, audio and input) I know it's definitely not everyone's first choice but it works for me. I have looked at Godot in the past but I have never had time to learn to use it properly.

Anyway, good luck with the jam!

You're braver than me!

Godot's easy to learn, but has little annoyances that they haven't finished working out just yet. If C++ works for you though, than stick with it. I'll be interested to see how your project for this game jam turns out!

Thank you and good luck to you as well!
