maybe i should try more gamejams to see if i can do more flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants thinking
i still do that of course, but nonogravs had its basic game loop thought of completely and fully probably more than a week out. main struggle was the beginning on engine choice and making blocks fall

"here's a game I made 10% of! the other 90% was made by the copyright-ignoring slop machine" doesn't reflect the spirit of gamejams at all, for me personally

It's awful. I'm sorry you guys are dealing with all of this. Gamejams are supposed to be fun and are supposed to be a way to learn and improve your skills in a semi-competitive (but extremely friendly) sphere. These people are ruining everything.
It will leave out the good folks out of the hobby.

we really should stop calling them "friendslop" unless they were made with/by ai. if you want to refer to coop games that offer joyous or heartfelt times with friends and were made during gamejams/by indie teams, just call them "friendjams" or something. but they have way more dignity than ai slop.

Rule of thumb: KISS!
Keep
It
Simple
Stupid
If you go wild from the get go, you'll get dissiluded quickly!
Start with a simple game with simple controls (platformer, top down shooter), then expand on it!
Also, Gamejams are a good testing ground for quick one-shot games: that's how FNF was born!

There are lots of games that originated from gamejams that the devs eventually reworked and made changes to after the jam, I don’t think it would be a problem to rewrite and make changes in this case.

Been very itching to do a game jam. Seeing that the Ludum Dare website appears to be down, I missed the most recent GMTK jam, not sure when Brackey's happens... Any good game jams happening over nov-dec people suggest? #GameJams
