 Little Awful Jam 2017 LOGO ART PACK January 2nd - 16th  THEME: PANIC!! The normal information post has been moved over to http://www.awfuljams.com Our new annual two week game jam is back for a second year! Sign up today at http://www.awfuljams.com Follow us on twitter for updates as they come in. JOIN SLACK! Lowdown Here's what you need to know.
While the Big Awful Jam is pretty heavy with rules, the Little Awful Jam is a chaotic lawless frontier with only 2 rules:
 While it's certainly not required, we really do appreciate it when people put the Awful Jam logos (any of them really) in a splash screen or on the main menu. Whenever one of you handsome teams gets press those sites tend to purposefully avoid plugging the jam for whatever reason, lookin' at you Polygon. And I'm sure you all agree we all could use a little fresh blood for the wall of shame. Calipark fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Jan 2, 2017 |

TEAM ADORABLE ANIMALS REPORTING FOR DUTY. Makes of Chill Robot, Sneaking Mission, and The Rage of Painting. And Düm. I'm so sorry. gently caress YES. I'm excited. I'm a programmer and am considering doing lovely-rear end terrible art this jam. There's a chance Tann and I will work together, but if I end up doing mostly art, I'll have cycles to spare. If you'd rather do art, I can program like a motherfucker. Hit me up via PM, on IRC, or via jo.jcat at gmail. That all said, JOIN US ON IRC, ASSHOLES. #sagamedev on synirc.net.!

Team Out of Left Field / Further Afield reporting in. I mean, let's face it, I'm probably going to do another solo project this time. But this time I might actually do something more than "get a reasonably working game with no real outstanding qualities". I mean, a boy can dream? IS DREAMING TOO MUCH FOR 2017??!?

oh man this is right in the middle of vacation i might not be able to participate this yYEAH RIGHT GUESS WHAT IT'S TEAM PUNCH FIGHT READY TO MAKE PUNCH FI6.5HT My goal this year is to make 90% of the game in the first 2 days and spend the rest of the two weeks polishing and adding content. This will be a stark difference to my usual development schedule, where I make 90% of the content in the last 2 hours and spend the rest of the two weeks adding features that never get used.

I might make something in Gamemaker this year, but I would be happy to team up with people. I do sound design and am one of the talented and beautiful voice acting goons if you want some talky stuff.

Heck Yeah. Game jam time is one of my favorite times of year. Unfortunately with my full-time work schedule as is it is right now, it will probably be tough for me to finish something unless I keep it really small. Here's hoping that I actually manage to do that.

I know the "they" in this sentence refers to "the press" but it almost sounds as though you're blaming teams for not talking about awfuljams, and in defence of Team Punch The Moon and That Pokeyman Thing, Blade did mention Awfuljams when he got messaged by killscreen (which polygon then got the story off). I know it wasn't your intent to sound as though "anyone who doesn't mention awfuljams to games journalists are big meanie fat pants" but come on. --- Anyway, as always, I'm going to throw down a few bounties. I'm going to try to go for only a few bounties because I always end up biting more than I can chew with these things.
Good luck to all!

 INCOMING BOUNTIES Hey you? Never made a game before? Made a lot of games before and just want free stuff? Then good news, I have THREE fabulous prizes this jam to give away! Humble GameMaker Bundle - My Favorite GameMaker Game - This one goes to my favorite game made using GameMaker Studio. The bundle includes:
Humble ClickTeam Fusion Bundle - My Favorite ClickTeam Fusion 2.5 Game - This one goes to my favorite game made using ClickTeam Fusion 2.5. The bundle includes:
Humble Game Dev Bundle - My Choice - This one goes to the game of my choosing; I will decide based on many factors: how funny is your game, have you made a game before, is your game name difficult to pronounce, and what day of the week it is when I decide maybe. YOU CAN BUY THIS RIGHT NOW TOO IF YOU WANT, HOLY poo poo!!! The bundle includes:
But Mo_Steel, I'm no fancy game developer guru how can I possibly win these prizes?  You don't have to be great to have a shot at these! Maybe I'll really love your quirky attempt at a platforming bullet-hell game that only uses one button! Maybe no one else will use GameMaker and you'll be the only entrant and win by default! Who knows! Plus look at some of the buggy poo poo I've made during these jams:    You can definitely do at least as bad as I can, so go for it!

I've been looking to get back on the short dev cycle wagon so I'm gonna sign up for the wall of shame as Team... I'll decide on a team name later. I have a little game I want to make so hopefully I'll be able to force the theme around it when it gets revealed.

Hello! I want to join a team for this gamejam. I've participated in a few SA jams and game projects before, this time though I would ideally like a team that will actually end up making a playable game, but no pressure! I'm good at bleepy bloopy music, or doing gameplay stuff in UE4.

Sup gamepeeps! I've worked on 2 things for previous SA jams (Pachinko Man and That Pokeyman Thing Your Grandkids Are Into), and while I don't think I'll have time to make a whole game by myself this time I'd love to help out another team if possible! If your team needs some help with writing/2D art/crummy chiptunes, feel free to shoot me a message.

So since the announcement video is very very short this year, I'm going to stream like 6 hours of Gong Shows past leading up to the theme announcement. So join all 3 people who care and watch some cringy nerds talk over all your wonderful submissions from the past starting at 6pm CST at https://www.twitch.tv/sagamedev. That'll run for 6 hours where we'll play the 30 second theme announcement video at Midnight CST to start the jam proper. Calipark fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Jan 1, 2017 |

I don't expect to have much time for the jam this time either, but I mean... that has been true for quite a few jams now so I'll make something at least.

Going the Smash TV/Binding of Isaac style route with rooms, rather than carving out random shapes from tiles. How the theme will fit in though  https://twitter.com/bonerman_inc/status/815884921071751168 KRILLIN IN THE NAME fucked around with this message at 12:43 on Jan 2, 2017 |

Oh gently caress. I guess maybe a game about being on fire is appropriate. Try not to catch anyone else on fire while you run to the fire extinguisher or something. Or a game where you drop acid and get a text from your significant other saying he/she will be home early from vacation. As the acid/panic sets in you need to do all the chores you've been putting off for a month. Jo fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Jan 2, 2017 |
