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 |

Zerilan posted: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? Unity might work. It's well documented with tons of tutorials. You can also have a good time just slamming together free stuff off the Asset store while you learn.

Your theme is Unnecessary Sequels A second entry that nobody wants or asked for.

This being the first jam we're doing on Itch.io I'm really surprised at the state of the community over there. It's just an accepted thing to drive-by all the game jams and just submit whatever you want to them without looking at what the jam is about at all. Some people get very upset when you remove their games too. So I added some fields to the submission page to be all "No really, don't just submit without reading the rules". Overall though doing this through itch has been really nice, be sure to let us know how the jam was from your end of things. The future incarnation of the Awful Jams site will likely incorporate itch in some way.

Doom Goon posted:Yeah, but not even on Twitter or the upload to YouTube yet? Guess it was a Discord thing only. VOD has been up on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/videos/300640990. There will NOT be a winter Awful Jam this year. Although we might host someone else's jam during the same time frame. I just don't have the time to organize these jams twice a year anymore.
