The 3rd Alakajam has started! Let's get cracking!

Submission

The deadline depends on whether you want to enter the ranked or unranked category:

• ranked: June 24th 7:00pm UTC, which means you have 48 hours
• unranked: June 25th 9:00pm UTC, which means you have a bit more than 72 hours

For both categories, you have one additional hour to submit your game.

We all enjoyed the awesome opening ceremony created by @Aurel300 and @DanaePlays . If you missed it, you can still find it at Danae's Twitch channel.

And the theme is Always growing!

Lots of things are always growing…

Cool things to do during the jam

• Write blog posts: share your thoughts on the theme, post your progress, images of #gamedevfood or gifs of gameplay (or cute animals!)
• Follow the Alakajam Twitter account and tweet about #alakajam
• Check out the streams and videos

Most importantly: have fun! Good luck!

I'll be using Game Maker Studio 2 and see how things go.

Better late than never.

Our team is the same as last Alakajam:
@bradur
@M2tias
@Juutis

Am I supposed to say what I'll be using?
Okay then.

• Game: Gamemaker: Studio
• Music: Beepbox
• Sfx: Bfxr and maybe beepbox, too. I don't know.
• Everything Else: Uh…

Good luck to all!

Yeah, I know I shouldn't be doing this at the last hour, but I'm gonna use ENIGMA instead of pygame because I just have a little more experience with it. That's it. My headphones are charging. They want to say hi to all of you.

i'll be using gamemaker studio and whatever tools i deem necessary for what i'm making. it depends.

We'll be using the following:

• Engine: Godot
• Graphics: Aseprite and the GIMP
• Music: Bosca Ceoil
• Sounds: SFXR

We may also mess around with using tiled for making levels.

We'll be using:

• Unity,

• Photoshop,

• Maya,

• Visual Studios

• FMOD

• Illustrator

  Can't wait for the Jam.

It's finally here - the day when the 3rd Alakajam kicks off!

In just four hours, the theme of the jam will be revealed. Building up to this grand revelation, we will gradually get rid of the other themes - one by one - and you can follow along on twitch from 6:20 pm UTC with DanaePlays and Aurel300! Special guests are wan and myself, and there will be opportunity to interact from the twitch chat, including winning some fresh Alakajam goodies!

Join us at 6:20pm UTC for the final countdown towards the theme revelation!

I have my sights on Alakajam 3, but I have no idea how much time and energy I'll actually have. Saturday will be a day of helping someone move to a new place, or start the process - not entirely sure. That means Sunday I'll probably be tired. Among all that I'm in the midst of my second ever Indie Game; Rally of Rockets

But enough excuses

I will likely enter the unranked division so I can continue to put efforts into my indie project, while still being able to do and show something for the jam. I think that is a great think from Alakajam and hope many people can benefit from working on longer term projects- Bite sized weekend jam projects are lots of fun; but when you have 15-20 such projects - it can be time to focus deeper.

I'll be using C++, TurtleBrains and random whatevers and streaming on twitch.tv/timbeaudet for any of the developments I perform through the weekend.
