5. But I am not a programmer!

6. Pfft, prototyping is easy, shut up Joe!

7. I am freaking out man, game jams are too hard!
● Follow the theme
● Focus on the core mechanic
● Quality is not important
● Don't think, just do
● If the idea doesn't work then pivot
● Come prepared!
● Don't spend entire time socializing
● Test, test, and then do more testing

8. Screw the man, I'm going indie!
