Hello, I'm an hobbyist game dev and recent gamejammer. This will be my 1st Alakajam event!

I played around a lot with Unity, but I also started using other tools and I fell in love with pico 8 so I probably will use it for this jam!

Let's have fun and remember to stay hydrated everybody!

My background: I am an enthusiast programmer studying computer science and have been programming for 5 or so years so I consider myself very experienced. I have always loved the idea of game development but have focused all my efforts on the engine and graphics side, and have never actually made a game. So I would love to try and make an actual, finished game.

Language: C++
Text Editor / Compiler: Visual Studio 2017 Community
Engine: Citrus Engine (made by yours truly)

• For window: glfw (C style window and OpenGL context manager)
• For graphics: OpenGL (and glew)
• For audio: nothing yet, probably IrrKlang (the only thing on this list that isn't open source, at least its free for non-commercial use)
• For physics: Bullet 3D (classic physics engine)
• For loading images: lodepng (standalone, tiny png loader)
• For loading models: assimp (collada loader)
• For linear algebra: glm (quintessential OpenGL vector and matrix math library)
  Modeling: Blender
  Targetting: Windows 10

My artist friend will do the art.

This Saturday, members of Alakajam! will join the One Hour Game Jam held at 8pm UTC! Let's join our neighbor community for a fun evening of jamming, and so we can sharpen our tools before the Alakajam.

You? Let me know in the comments!

How it works

When	What
Before 8pm UTC	Prepare your dev environment before the jam starts, and join the fun on IRC or Discord
8pm UTC	The theme is announced, try to make a super small game in an hour!
9pm UTC	If all goes to plan (tip: it never happens), submit your game by the deadline. In practice most submit 30mn to a hour late, to finish something playable and publish it. Submissions are not closed until the next jam anyway!
9:30pm… ish	@aurel300 and maybe @danaeplays will play your games on stream!

No competition here, everyone is a winner for completing the crazy task of making a game in one hour-ish!

Gonna be my first jam ever, can't wait to crash and burn like never before!

Tools I'm gonna use:
Unity3d
Blender
GIMP

Tools I'll use if I can practice with them beforehand:
Bfxr
Audacity
FL Studio

Really, I have no idea what to do as far as audio goes, please let me know what's easiest to use. If nothing else, I will acapella all of my sound effects.

Hi everyone!
After a long time of "I won't be able to create something good or interesting" thoughts I decided to stop being that guy, that have 1001 idea and doing 0 to implement them.
So it will be my first gamedev jam, I'm really excited!
I'll be using:

• LÖVE/Unity (depends) as game engine;
• Aseprite for graphics;
• cfxr for sound effects;
• Bosca Ceoil for music;
• SublimeText for coding;

I'm sure it will be an awesome experience and great starting point in the gamedev. Good luck and have fun everybody!

Just found you guys on the Ludum Dare website, super excited to participate!

Tools I'll be using:

Unity
Rider
Photoshop
Blender
Maybe Pyxel :)

Haven't participated in a gamejam for long time, so I'll give it a shot! No idea how it'll go, because I'm really bad at finishing projects… :'D

I will be using:

Unity
Blender
Gimp
Audacity

First game jam I've ever participated in. VERY EXCITED!! :D
