I was on a panel talking about why game jams are great at the ALA Annual Conference & Exhibition in Chicago. You may not have been able to attend, but you can read some of my Q&A answers here!
The horror! I accidentally clicked the poll while scrolling and it registered "deep dish pizza" as my vote when I definitely would vote TAVERN CUT.
Also, and more importantly, haha, thank you so much for joining us! It was great to have your experience on this panel. We received really great feedback from attendees (and even some wishing it were a longer session or workshop), and it was great to see the interest from library folks.
I love the idea of jams and the variety of them is incredibly cool. I'm a newby to game dev (I sort of accidentally became one), and this whole scene is super inspiring.
Stop it, I'm begging you. You're making me want to join the one-page jam again this year, but I already have three other projects I'm trying to work on…

I’m sorry, but the correct answer was Chicago Dog. :)
And so glad to hear people enjoyed it! Running a longer workshop would be fun! 🤩
Hahaha, I hate all hot dogs, so not even an option for me
Hating hot dogs is the correct answer.
High five!
libraries are the best :D this was a great read :) glad you had a nice time! thank you for sharing <3
Thank you!

How did I miss you were at ALA? Sounds like a great discussion. Sorry that I missed it.
I didn't know you were there! Sorry we missed each other.
The panel went really well. Full room and lots of good questions. I'd love to do something similar again.

What’s one more little project! It’s just a page! 😜
I love game jams. Haven't always finished projects, but when I do it feels great.
Would love to host a game eventually.
Anyway. Chicago is great city. I love visiting there as much as I can. One of my favorite places is China Town.
Chinatown is one of the places I didn’t have time to visit. It’s on my list for next time. Such a great city!
Definitely worth another visit. Been there several times. Lots to see and do.
