Hey, everyone! So, I’m new here and I’ve been checking out all the super helpful posts in this group. After reading about it being beginner-friendly (totally makes sense with that name, right?), I decided to join the My First Game Jam!

It just kicked off tonight, and I’m going solo on this one. The theme is “cycles,” and I’m drawing blanks on good ideas, but I’ll sleep on it and hope something clicks.

Basically, I’m crossing my fingers that someone here has some tips for a newbie like me diving into her first jam! I kinda got carried away chatting in the jam Discord till late, so now it’s time for some sleep. But I’ll be ready to jam in the morning! By the way, can I share what I create here, or is that not allowed?

Thanks, y’all! You’re the best! 🙌

    Hey, y’all! Just wanted to drop in and give a big shoutout to everyone in this thread. Tried to reply earlier, but my server went bonkers, and then yours went down too. Talk about bad luck! 💀

    Anyways, it’s been a wild week, but your tips have been a total lifesaver! I might not finish everything this time around, but that’s alright. Gotta work on scoping down my projects a bit better. The jam community has been amazing, and I’ve learned a ton about Unity. Thinking of giving it another shot in the Winter version!

    And, here’s a little confession: I’ve never used version control before, but after reading your replies, I’m totally convinced it’s a must-learn. 😅 Still getting the hang of it, but I can see how handy it’s gonna be. So, thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
