Good morning jammers!
We hope everyone is doing great and has a good time working on their games.
Whether you got some sleep or pulled an all-nighter or started late, we are not 12 hours in.
Everyone would like to see some progress on other peoples games and hereby we announce a call for blog-posts! Just click here to do so.
Where are you taking the theme? Which tools do you use? solo or team? And everyone loves to see images or gifs of gameplay mechanics starting to come to live or beautiful glitches and funny bugs. Pictures of food, pets, memes also get a great share of love as well as sharing your progress on audio or soundeffcts!
As it is saturday you should take advantage of #screenshotsaturday and post your progress also on Twitter #alakajam.
If any question or issue with the site or jam arises, do not hesitate to look for the support thread or as a question there in the comment section!
Happy jamming! :3
After 12 hours I've already got this:
^-^
Well we finished designing our main mechanic, still needs polishing but works perfectly ! Hope you're all having as much fun as us !
I spent a few hours on making sure movement felt as good as possible. I used some rather weird tricks to make wall jumping easy and easy to figure out(hold down 1 arrow key while spamming jump, you don't have to switch).
The ninja is only 10 images(technically 11, but the 11th one isn't shown in this gif).
Please tell me what you think! ^-^
EDIT:
I added a lollipop.
Right, I've brainstormed some ideas and decided on The Chosen One™.
I am making a two-player board-game-style tactical medieval warfare game with smoke screens. Infact, the game is called Smoke Screen!
I've played some prototype games on paper (with temporary "units") and I think it could be quite fun. Simple to learn and hopefully with enough tactical options to make it interesting.
I don't have the full 48h due to other commitments, so my main goal was to complete something. Hopefully this is small enough to get something done.
Here's a very early mock-up:
I'm In!!!
Live streaming my Alakajam tonight and tomorrow, with a little on Sunday.
I'll be using C++, TurtleBrains, Illustrator, and some other random things (Tiled, Audacity, VS Code)

Hey everyone, I'm Alexis a Game Design student in France. I was at school today when I saw there was a jam this w-e and I'll be doing it with my flatmate and maybe another friend. We're probably gonna use Unity or Construct and will begin in a few minutes !
We're here mainly for sport, we don't aim to be the biggest game but we're looking to have fun and train :D
