The game engine distribution in the GMTK game jam
(programming.dev)
Welcome to the game development community! This is a place to talk about and post anything related to the field of game development.
The gamejam was only 48 hours. Not enough time to compile an Unreal starter project. /s
But seriously, your iteration times will not be fast enough for a jam if using C++. You could use blueprints, but what programmer would want to actually do that? And then you will probably have issues with the web export, which grants you a huge visibility boost. Unreal is probably one of the worst engines you could use for a 48h jam.
