Do you know if the participating in those are fairly warmed-up to the context of writing games?
I'm thinking about it as a programmer. I think that if I had written 2-3 games of a certain kind before, I could whip up new games very quickly, especially if reusing snippets/libraries are allowed.
- torginus 2y agoAs always, there's a huge spectrum of ability and preparedness of the participants, and if you browse gaming sites, occasionally you'll encounter a jam-created game. Those are the top 1%. I'd say on the jams I've attended, a third made decent to good games, a third made playable, but flawed stuff, and a third's stuff really didn't come together for whatever reason. I'm not an experienced or talented jammer, but usually there's all kinds of people here - total greenhorns, devs working outside the games industry, professionals and hobbyist veterans whose day jobs might not have anything to do with a computer.
