My background: I am an enthusiast programmer studying computer science and have been programming for 5 or so years so I consider myself very experienced. I have always loved the idea of game development but have focused all my efforts on the engine and graphics side, and have never actually made a game. So I would love to try and make an actual, finished game.
Language: C++
Text Editor / Compiler: Visual Studio 2017 Community
Engine: Citrus Engine (made by yours truly)
My artist friend will do the art.
I'm finishing my own engine for the jam too! Would love to see your game when it's ready :)
