Awful Summer Jam 2018 Join the Discord! July 6th - July 31st Download the logo files here Unnecessary Sequels A second entry that nobody wants or asked for. This is a more open theme than past jams, so you'll get extra kudos from judges for liberally slathering your jam game with a thick coating of the theme. Get it in all those nooks and cranies. Bonus idea: Produce a sequel to your own past jam game or someone else's (Remember to ask permission first!) If this is your first time, no sweat! There's a lot to this theme, so let your creativity fly. Jam is hosted on itch this year while the Awful Jams site is under construction. https://itch.io/jam/awful-summer-jam-2018 Follow us on Twitter for updates. Watch past post-jam shows! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m19TWgSltpc It's the 4th Annual Awful Summer Jam, where we sit around for a month hanging out in the Discord and making rad video games. Never made a game before? Who cares, come make one. Join a team, go solo, whatever you want. There's plenty of smart people in the Discord happy to give you a hand, come say "Hello!". At the end of the jam our team of professionally trained judges will honestly review your games and pick out category winners! Win a category for brownie points and a sensible prize. Rules: 1. Don't be a jerk 2. No more than 3 people to a team* 3. Do not submit minimal effort entries, reskins, or whole-sale asset flips 4. Make an attempt to include the theme 5. 500mb game size limit * Contributors that only produce audio files for your game DO NOT count toward your team member limit (IE: Musicians, Voice Actors, Yodelers) https://twitter.com/awfuljams/status/1005502116876771328 Calipark fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Jul 6, 2018 |

Ready to try again; last few times I've been on The Wall but I will not surrender.

I've always wanted to do this, and this year seems like the one!

I'm excited to be back on the wall. I might try something cute in Unreal this time though.

Really looking forward to this year's jam. Just one whole month of fun work and a few weeks after talking to everyone about their games and trying them out. Its pure feelgood stuff. Also; Games for Grandma

I just started putzing around with Unity last week and I've been pulling my hair out trying to put my own spin on the roll-a-ball tutorial thing but if I end up with a base understanding I might throw my hat in the ring cause this seems super fun

WOOOOOO SUMMER JAM If anyone is looking to form a team shoot me a pm or email aidanaidan@gmail.com or twitter @aidanwaitecomma. I am a developer and use Unity. You can see my "games" on my itch page. Edit: Looks like TheOrange (also a dev) is in, so 1 more person to round out the roster would be great! Would be cool to have someone to do art. Also would be happy with a 3rd developer to decrease our chances of ending up on the wall. awesomeolion fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jun 12, 2018 |

I'm more of a Unity programmer, I got a friend who is still debating if they wanna enter solo or be more art-focused in a group; but they said they'd be ok if I feel I really need to slide in with another pair of people. I made Smash Em Randal for last year's summer jam, but I felt that I kind of struggled as a solo entrant. I would really like to avoid that by finding one or two other people to work with this time around. You can find me on the Awful Jam discord and DM me from there

I've not had time to get involved in this in the last few years (last time was SA Gamedev Challenge X). Hoping to be able to make time this time round. I'm a programmer. Would be interested in working with Godot Engine, but have previous experience with Unity, Phaser, and HaxeFlixel. Previous games I've made can be seen on itch. If anyone who's art/audio/story focused wants to work together get in touch

I wanna make a dumb game this July. I'm a designer/scripter, mostly work in Unreal. I haven't done an awful jam yet, but I have lots of experience professionally. Like a lot of other people here, I'm not an artist, so any artists who might want to join me, PM me and let's make something stupid.

Havn't done a jam in awhile, gonna do this one. UE4 stuff.

I'm down for this. Done a few jams, but this would be my first SA one.

I can do voice sounds, if you need anyone with an awful idiot mouth to say dumbass words and poo poo I am your man

i'm going to try and solo a UE4 game this time around because i have no concept of technical debt

I can do some WICKED GFX, from illustration to UI if anyone is interested. I also can compose music, reach me: ale.stresser@gmail.com .

Aspiring sound designer and audio implementer/scripter. Got a 1yr soundsnap account that I need I need to justify purchasing. I’ve been learning how to implement audio using UE4’s blueprints. If you’re looking to use UE4, hit me up at tactac160@hotmail.com. EDIT: I’m not a composer so I can’t help anyone there.

Never made a game or followed a game jam. Thought it was high time I'd follow one along! If there was no team size limit It'd be cool to be

I will definitely finish this year.

I'm in as usual. This time I (probably) won't include fake unlockables/hentai games to make people go crazy. Probably fewer nazi dinosaurs too but no promises.
|
# ? Jun 24, 2018 17:31 |

Gonna get in on this as an excuse to learn Godot Engine and hopefully get a little better at programmer art, it's good timing for me as my only obligation during the jam will be one summer class.

I bought some unity assets I'd like to try out. Think I might give this a go again.

hello I have never done game dev before but I’m a reasonably experienced .net dev and would like to do a thing that’s different from my day-to-day. If someone wants me on their team I can be PMed here or gmailed using saintevanechoes and the domain bits

This'll be an interesting experiment in collaboration and time management for me. Working with an old friend who just got into gamedev, and neither of us have much experience with collaborative projects. Though it's been difficult having no burdens on my schedule last week and this one but expecting to be incredibly busy come July. Just staring at my components and suppressing the urge to burn my gamedev energy early.

No real game dev experience beyond like, rpgmaker projects as a kid, small amount of programming experience in a few languages. Kind of want to try something solo for sake of attempting something creative. Are there any good engines/game dev project that are real easy for an amateur to pick up and make something simple with?
