Alright beginners! I’m doing it again! Our last beginner jam in March got a lot of submissions, and I would say it was really successful. Alright beginners, this time the theme will be SCHOOL! Yes, I know that most of you don’t like school, but you can make it fun with your video game. All submissions must be in by September 10th. I’m giving you all time, so make these amazing. Good Luck! ---

Oh, I’d love to participate! It depends on how you are defining beginner, but I just made my first game this week. Question: Should I just paste the code and image into a reply? ---

Press A to interact with everything, though walking into certain sprites can also trigger an action. Press B to see your stats, and the Menu button to look... I believe this is how I’m supposed to submit my entry? ---

@tjayy67 I think we should have a bit more time, because I want to join and this time ̶w̶i̶n̶ fail /j (I almost won last time, but didn’t) Also more people need to join as judges and participants. ---

Ditto. I hardly had any time to get the actual gameplay done, especially considering I caught the game jam at the tail end of its deadline. ---
