The Game Jam Guide I wish I had when starting out

[@kristoffred]

If anyone has any questions about jams, please ask and I'll try my best to answer!

[@yollie-the-dude]

thank you redline for informing me of what to do on my first game jam! Im planning to make a pixel art top down rpg with mutliple endings where your choices matter!

[@Dramocake]

Hopefully it comes with a full orchestra soundtrack

[@badpiggy4177]

With lots and lots of juice I hope

Very good and helpful video. Especially I agree on the part about making game visually appealing early. By doing it you already cover part of your project and having a better feel for the final product.

[@GrinnKitty]

Thanks for this! I especially like the point of making the game look appealing while working on it; just adding a few favorite colors and some less than perfect graphics helped reignite my drive to work on my practice project haha

[@Don_DeMarco]

Wow! This video was very nice and well put together! I decided to join the Pirate Software game jam even though I don't know what I'm doing, meaning the only thing I know how to do is print "hello world" in Python and C, lol! But I decided to jump in anyway to give it a shot.

[@kristoffred]

Good luck! Hope this video helps.

[@jonesynarwhal]

Thank you for making this! It's a big help going into my first game jam.

[@owlstation355]

Thank you, this is a really helpful video! Starting my first jam soon so good to know what to expect :)

[@EMDthe1]

Omg this is amazing how did I not find your account sonner

[@badpiggy4177]

Wish I saw this video when I started jamming It took me a few years to realise that my games sounded better when I wasn't the one making audio for them

[@Gamer-ur1zn]

Great vid!

[@Ignawesome]

Saw it after the jam... good advice, although I completely ignored the health and safety part when I did it

[@kristoffred]

Hope you had fun or learnt something!

My question is not about jams, so sorry for that. Could you suggest some learning material for game dev math? I missed uni thus don't really have a grasp on where should I start with math. Assuming from the videos you've created thus far, you have quite the experience in this area.

[@kristoffred]

You don't need any maths skills other than some vector basics. (the only complex one I "regularly" use is the dot product, for that I recommend watching kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIHVhIiBZrulgaM) I'm literally a high school student.

[@Andrashh]

@@kristoffred Thanks! Well, then take it as a compliment.

[@arcywastooshort]

can you condense this into a 60 second tik tok? ty

[@kristoffred]

absolutely not :)
