Re: A basic game engine for my first game jam?
All depends on what you're developing. I'd argue that engines like Unreal are deeply unsuited to quickfire events like jams. Maybe it'll improve in UE4, but the iteration time is just too slow as UE3 is geared towards large scale production, and flexibility comes first. Not sure if Unity is any better, not used it enough.… -

However I'd suggest staying away from 3D for game jams if you're on your own, make 2D games instead. For 2D engines Game Maker, Construct 2, Stencyl, and Game Salad are all worth… -
