I am IN 4

August is pretty hectic for gamejams! I want to Kajam, I want to do js13k again, there's LD and there's LowRezJam and A Game By Its Cover.

There are probably even more, but wow, that's a lot. I don't need to do all of them, but then I had an idea: maybe I can combine some of them? Especially with this theme, I should be able to join the Kajam and the LowRezJam! Maybe I can even find a cover for the name?

With this in mind, I started on an idea for my belated entry to yesterday's onehourgamejam. I went with the LowRezJam's resolution requirement, and used PICO-8 for that retro-feel.

In a couple of hours I have a prototype, which I think I will extend and submit for the Kajam and LowRezJam! It's pretty basic right now, but you can play it and win or just set things on fire: Wildfire

The idea is to extinguish fires with whatever tools you have at hand. I think if I make it turn-based it can become a nice little puzzler :)

tried wildfire - finally a game i can find the time to complete :D. Was also thinking this kajam would be a good excuse to finally try and do something with my copy of pico-8.

I've submitted this for the lowrezjam but will continue working on it for the kajam!

you can play the current version here!

played again, fun just needs more challenge, maybe more levels, like the mechanics though.

As a follow-up, I did a post-mortem/wrote down some thoughts on joining too many gamejams on my blog.
