Would it be interesting if I participated in this Game Jam? "Starting March 31, 2026 and ending May 1 2026, you have one month to make a fighting game." https://itch.io/jam/fighting-game-versus-jam-2026 I would be using Unreal Engine, with a small team of friends.

The weather was finally suitable to take Kirby outside on the leash for the first time.

Bud was hanging out outside too.
