I used C with the SDL library to make my first games.
SDL is quite simple to use, it is OK to program a game like Phoenix Hunt, however, for making a bigger game, it would need a LOT of programming.
So I decided to use an engine or a maker.
I did not want to have too many things to learn at the same time, so I avoided the "engine" solution, because I would have to learn both an engine and a language (for exemple Love/Lua, Unity/C#, etc).
@alleycat : Thanks for your encouragements.
I actually posted some art for the challenge, the day after my previous post here.
It is an ice cream. :-)

GDevelop seems to be what I needed.
@convictedweirdo : thanks, I will check that.
A lot of new good ideas for games !
Not sure, but I think I will launch the jam in the end of winter (2020).
So now we have :
- "Annelids" (proposed by me)
- the egyptian RPG (proposed by me)
- cabats / badgolins / biomancers strategy game (proposed by MedicineStorm)
- a sci-fi game with alien invasion, mechas, and an IA (proposed by anti10188)
- "Yie Ar Kung Fu-rries" (proposed by Spring, title proposed by me)
- "Super Chonkerdoge Kart" (proposed by me, title proposed by Spring)
- a bullet hell game (proposed by VinnNo.0)
- a game with a boy with morphing powers, tracked by his country's governement (proposed by Spring)
One day, we should make a special jam with these ideas.
The rule would be : everyone works on somebody else's idea.
I could host this :)
Do you prefer her with weird glasses?
I couldn't resist to make my own versions of this banner.
You can call it the "beach" versions (the colors evoke sand and water).
I will try making some art for this challenge.
But there is a high risk it looks like "programmer's art" :-(
Yes, that is the problem with jams. You never have enough time to produce games that you want.
That is why, when I will be good with GDevelop, I will make some small games for the jams, and make my "more ambitious" games outside of jam periods.
Well, now I am going to take a dinner and sleep, it is a bit late in my time zone :)
Bye
Sorry, I did not see about this question.
I would say an Adventure Doggo 2.
Yes, it could be added to the plot, maybe.
By the way, this one is not an Ancient Egypt RPG, but nearly : there is a game on Itch called Void Pyramid.
It is set in a distant future where the egyptian civilization is back and rules Earth.
You play a soldier, slave, or scribe, who is an opponent to the pharaoh, and has been sent in a prison in space, the Void Pyramid.
The goal is of course to escape from there. There are several possible endings.
I really like the concept : egyptian civilization + science-fiction with a dystopic atmosphere.
The guy who made this game had a great idea.
