FAQs:
Q: Do I need any Unity or programming experience to follow along?
A: Nope! This jam is for people who are new to Unity.

Q: What system requirements are there to install Unity?
A: https://unity3d.com/unity/system-requ…

Q: How long is the jam?
A: We’ll be jamming for about three hours. Of course, you’re free to pop in and out, and we’ll do our best to make sure it’s easy for people to do so. That way, when you come back you can just jump right back in with us.

Q: Will it be recorded?
A: Yes. The full recording will be published on YouTube within an hour after the stream ends.

Q: What is a game jam?
A: This game jam is unique because it’s hosted online, it’s for beginners, we’re using a game template, it’s short, and we (pretty much) know what we’re going to show you. A *traditional* game jam is an in-person event where you would typically gather with more experienced programmers, game designers, artists, etc., to create a game or project from scratch in about 24-72 hours.

Q: What if I have a question that’s not answered here?
A: If you have other questions leading up to the event, reach out to us in the FPS Creators Group: https://bit.ly/fpscreators
