In the spirit of the Three Forged Game Jame and the Refraction Jam, we are bringing the Collaborative Game Jam to Something Awful! We used to have game contests and they were awesome - quite a few published, successful games came out of those jams! For this contest, you will be collaborating with three other people! THE RULES THREE 1. There will be THREE ROUNDS.
3. Your stuff will be CC-BY-4.0. Your other creators will need to be able to mux and mix it up! Once the contest is over, I will post the final entries for viewing. Anyone can take from these what they like (although it's considered polite to ask and credit). * More than one person can choose a given entry - but beware: you might appear derivative if you don't have a really good idea for it! HOW TO COMPETE 1. Post in the thread with your intent to participate and pm or email me an address at which I can send submissions. My email address is atlantisrevoked@gmail.com. It's a good idea to wait until the contest actually begins to start writing. 2. Continue to participate! Post questions, comments, ideas, or anything you like. It's more fun when we're all bouncing off each other. 3. Check your email at the beginning of rounds 2 and 3! 4. Submit on time! I will not be checking to the minute but any late submissions are accepted at the mercy of my whimsy. EXTRA CREDIT If you're in the need of a little inspiration (or are hopeful for a little bump toward your end product), you can earn a bonus point. This will add to the 10-point rubric I will use to judge your game. (It's pretty simple: 3 points for Style, 3 points for Mechanics, 3 points for Theme, and 1 point for Organization.) To earn your bonus point, simply indicate that you wish to do so during any of the rounds. I will pull from my Amazing Trope Deck and give you a trope; you must include this in your game. If you have any questions, ask away! Let's write! Zurui fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Jun 27, 2021 |

Otherkinsey Scale posted:You know what, give me a trope!  For the purposes of this, I'll say you can play fast and loose with this - it doesn't have to be the Japanese/Korean concept of idols, it could be western boy/girl bands or rock groups or anything where the common theme of manufactured music celebrity is at play.

I already have a concept written out for round 1: I am in-advance requesting a trope for round 2, to be delivered when the OP sees fit.

I think it's best to wait until round 2 to deliver it. Getting excited to see what y'all come up with!
