Ahoy game makers!

We are back again with SPECIAL game jam :D It's going to be GMTK Game Jam 2019!

This will be a great opportunity because quite known Youtuber and game designer Mark Brown is organizing it. And after the end of the jam, he plays all the games and reviews them. Then he makes a video and if your game is great it could be in the video which is a really cool reference for YOU. Video announcement of game jam: https://youtu.be/vWSmZgL50vE
