nkornek Posted December 10, 2017 Excited! Not sure how much time I'll have but I still want to try and make something (it just definitely won't be of the same scope as my last game) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
root Posted December 10, 2017 I'm still kinda waffling between deciding if I want to attempt my own game this time or to contribute 3d assets to other games again now that I actually know how to get stuff into unity and fool around with it. Either are options! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If memory serves, Shoot That Pizza from a couple jams back was super short and a hilarious good time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teljoor Posted December 14, 2017 I'll join too. Not sure yet what kind of game it'll be, but I want to try something in 3d with unity this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brendonsmall Posted December 15, 2017 Oh man, I just pushed a work thing to production, so barring disaster I am free in very very IN for Wizard Jam 6. My goal is to create something weird and hopefully good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerofiftyone Posted December 15, 2017 OKAY! As of about an hour ago, this jam is now open! Here is the list of jam diversifiers: The diversifiers are an optional challenge for the jam. They're creative prompts, designed to help you design a game around a specific limitation (or set of limitations). You can choose as many (or as few) as you like and incorporate them into your game. Talk is cheap - Make a game which is designed around having no written or spoken words whatsoever Performative Development - Stream your development process live using a streaming service such as Twitch.tv "2D's company, 3D's a crowd" - Make a 3D game using only 2D graphics Simple Input - Make a game that can be entirely played with only two buttons Crowd-sourced - Make a game using input from other people. Take on lots of mini-contributions which will be used in the game (e.g. sound recordings or photos), or alternatively let the community vote and decide on creative decisions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillTheCat Posted December 15, 2017 Gonna actually make a game this time. I think I can probably make an endless runner based on the title "Once You Start You Can't Stop." Maybe I'll try for for only two inputs and/or no written/spoken words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pnevares Posted December 15, 2017 At the eleventh hour I decided to join with the goal of releasing my first public game as a solo dev. The episode title I chose seems to fit well with a couple of the Diversifiers, so I'm pretty excited! Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

hedgefield Posted December 15, 2017 Yeah just keep it simple. The main thing I wanted to achieve for this jam was to have a first-person character that can climb up onto ledges in a Blade Runner-esque environment. That's basically done already, so everything else will be fun extras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either are options! Yeah, I'm in a similar spot. I mean, I have the tools to make a game, just not sure if I have the time to do everything myself. Last time I just contributed pixel art to a project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salacious Snake Posted December 17, 2017 I think I'm mostly done! It's a really straightforward Twine, so I'm not doing a dev log thread; talking about it at all would basically give away the whole gag. But I'm having a lot of fun. I made a soundtrack and everything. It's called The Mind-Tech Contingency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salacious Snake Posted December 18, 2017 Well, here it is: http://textadventures.co.uk/games/play/am4etg_fs0y_8tiwzdczcg The itch page is just a link to this other hosting. Itch does some weird stuff with embedding twines that jacks up the formatting real bad. If anyone gives it a go, let me know if it works. If you're playing on a computer, there should be music (which doesn't work on mobile), and the font should be futuristic. It's a modest outing, but I still feel accomplished for having actually finished one of these for once. I've started a ton of twines in the past, but I never saw them through.

deathmtn Posted December 19, 2017 Hey, so I had a day off, and I started doing this! Time is scarce from here on out, but I'm happy to have gotten anything going at all. A question about game titles: Do they have to be named after an episode title? My game is based on the Important If True discussion of genie-proof wishes. I just noticed that episode is called "Pearls Before Slime" which doesn't suggest anything about genies at all. I'm guessing I should call it something else and just cite the episode?

I'm guessing I should call it something else and just cite the episode? There are no hard rules, so calling it something else is probably the best way forward, if... nontraditional. Perhaps you could find another ep title that fits better, or use a quote from the episode (or keep the title and just stick some pearls and swine in the corner somewhere!)... @Salacious Snake you might want to make a thread so your game doesn't get missed in the play through weekend...
