I would love to be part of a team, but I am a rank amateur, and most of my game development experience is half-finished projects in GM8. I also have some experience with pixel art and graphical design, in an almost equally amateurish way. On the bright side, I have no life, so I will be reachable on Skype almost literally all the time when I am not sleeping, and have a lot of ideas about things. Some of them might even be not-quite-terrible. (Seriously, PM me if you want to be on a team, I'd like a reliable partner or partners to make this happen.)

In regard to the rules and the 3 participant limit, will you allow subs if someone wants to or has to drop out before the end of the competition?

Voting's almost over, btw. Hey, what's up with the Community Choice? Did it get gamed last year or something? Too similar to the critic's choice?

No, but we'll be handling it on a case by case basis. If you are dropping people from your team with a very good reason and have a replacement ready, you're welcome to contact us with an appeal in #Support on slack or by sending us an email.

zolthorg posted:why is this against the rules, its done a lot in industry I can assure you that using unlicensed assets is not done a lot in industry. My assumption is that the primary reason it's disallowed (with exceptions for parody) is because jamming IP you don't own or have an agreement with the license holder to use is illegal. While the ramifications on non-commercial projects are typically minor (take down notices, etc), it's easier to just not deal with it. Also good luck with GfG because terrif[ying|ied] lizard howl is going to win.

I'm hoping Lizard Brain wins so I have an excuse to make the most obnoxious loving Skinner Box game. Clickers, flashing lights, loud music, numbers going up, slot machines, the sky's the limit.

Voting ended with 200+ votes and it was a near 3 way tie. So we're going to take that as "All 3 themes are amazing". You'll find out which one we inflict on you July 1st.

Oof. Was that voting link edited-in? Because I did not notice it previously. Given that the intent of the jam is to make on-theme games within the course of a month, clearly Games for Grandma can't be the winning theme -- it's over a year old. But that leaves it a mystery as to what the winning theme will be. Fingers-crossed it's something previously undiscussed. And not just because I've done no planning.

Hello. I'm a hobbyist pixel person, and Shoehead told me a while ago I should give this thing a shot when it came around, and now it's come around. If you're looking for a pixel artist of medium to medium-high quality most comfortable with character-type sprites and animations thereof, I might be the guy for you. Go lizard grandmas.

I am looking for a 2d artist to fill out our team. I am a fan of pixel art, but none of the ideas we have for any of the themes are married to a specific art style.

Shindragon and I have been compiling a list of ideas and I think we're pretty solid on either lizard brains or grandma. Tie-ins therefore is the worst theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqoUYpqE0pw

We are designing a game that fits all three themes, since there is apparently a tie. Prepare to be surprised by how immensely out of scope we are. e: Whoops! Our artist bailed, so we need a new one! blastron fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Jun 21, 2016 |

I think I'll only be getting involved this year if I can find a team. If I'm doing solo development, I've got other projects I'm thwacking my face into.

I think Cicadas! may be doing art for me, but I'm not opposed to having a second artist/coder around. The ideas I have for Grandma and Lizard Brain would require lots of little 2d things to interact with and animations so having a second artist would probably help loads.

Mixed feelings about the lizard brain theme - it's an interesting theme but very difficult to judge. I can imagine a situation where people who interpret the theme in abstract, interesting ways will end up with lower points in the "adherence to theme" category than games where you just play as a lizard, which would be super frustrating.

Why would you assume that? We made the themes, we've already discussed how best to judge adherence for each. Did you think we actually intended people to just make games about lizards? (Should that theme be picked)
