5Was very fun and learned a lot about common mistakes I make
5Really fun Jam with a great community.
5No matter your skill level with gamemaker, gm48 is great. It was my first game jam ever and I don't regret it at all, the feeling of community, simple website and rules, all lead to a wonderful and inspiring experience.
5Participating in the jam was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed seeing enthusiastic updates from great creators who were jamming at the same time I was.
5It's a great way to lift up your 'gamemakering' career with the support of other friendly 'gamemakerers'
5This is the best gamedev-related event I have ever had the honor to participate in. I had a blast working on my games and it's an experience no one should miss!
5Some of the most fun and engaging game developing experiences I've ever had have been during my participation in GM(48).
I encourage all GameMaker enthusiasts to give it a go.
5Whether you're looking for a tight-knit community, putting your abilities to the test, or simply scratching that game development itch, the GM48 is the definitive GameMaker experience.
5I'm sweating. I learned a lot in such a short amount of time (especially about time management). The 29th GM48 was my first jam and I'm happy with what I produced.
We all start somewhere and I'm so grateful for this opportunity.
5GM48 is my absolute favorite jam to participate in. Everyone is very friendly and it's a great way to meet other Gamemaker developers while getting great practical experience with the software. I highly recommend that you join the Discord server to really complete the experience!
5I got called in to make SFX because the musician originally on the team didn't want to do it. I spent 30 minutes in bfxr and with my sound libraries making some effects. 10/10 fun experience
5GM48 was my first Game Jam. It was a really awesome first experience. The Game Jam is really neat with nice theme. Will sure participate to the next GM48!

Hey, thanks for taking an interest!
I could've put a length application form here to for you to fill out, requiring all sorts of information, but it would be much better to simply talk to you.
Find me (the organizer) on the Discord server or elsewhere, send a quick message and we can talk about the wheres, the whos, the whys and whens and whats. Looking forward to hearing from you!
