i was thinking, i should do a pretty small game jam, just as a first, just to try some stuf and see how i like it.
so here i am. hoping i wont screw anything up big-time!
i will be using unity with visual studio for development, and fusion 360 for moddeling. just what familiar with. probably will also use some other obscure program to do some odd task no-one could predict i was going to need to do this weekend.
oh, and i mention i cant english? also, my exams on monday look very prommising!

Hi!

We are a team of two and this is our first Game Jam.
Hope everyone has a great time and fun making games.
We are using GameMaker and InkScape for this Jam.
Good luck!

Hey there,

my name is Tim, I have participated in 13 "ludum dares" (that doesn't sound right …) and several miniLDs and other smaller jams over the last years. I am happy to see a new jam here and am looking forward to playing all your games (and creating one myself ofc) ;-)

I will probably use unity this time. I used to make games in Java+Libgdx+artemis-odb(the best java entity component system period ™©®) but I gave in to the luxury and ease of rapid prototyping in unity … Sometimes I think I made better games when I coded everything myself though ;)

Have a good time ! looking forward to reading your progress reports :)

I can't think about anything else than the Jam, the joy of Jamming and working so much you makes mistake that you have to fix while your brain is clearly sleep deprived.

I'm really looking for working with my boy Lokior and two other guys I haven't met yet.
I can't wait to get back that excitation. Designing a game and integrating everything into the engine, building the thing before your eyes.

I've made some really great games while doing Game Jams and I hope we'll provide an awesome game for you to play with or at least a game so bad you'll have fun tear it down. One or the other, no middle ground :D

See you all on the battlefield, I hope y'all have fun!

The grotesque voxel people are looking nervous pacing back and forth, they must be getting anxious for the start of the jam.
(Was just trying on options for getting animated characters out of magica voxel, I think the smooth rotations look better)

A cool theme shortlist.
A game jam in Europe time.
How can one resist?!

Using Aseprite,
Java and Bosca Ceoil.
Give ideas form!

Feature-list: Growing.
So hard to prioritize.
Time is running out!

The game is finished!
Feature-list lies in tatters.
Now, time for rating!

.. maybe. I have like five other things going on this weekend, but I'll try and compose a small entry regardless.

Unfortunatley I can't join in this weekend but wishing everyone the best of luck and a great 1st Alakajam.

Hey, so it's been a while since I last tried to complete a jam, with LD36 being my last entry. I'm doing this one alone and I'll be using Love2D, Pyxel Edit and BFXR (If I get as far as sounds).

I've not competed in a jam alone before and I'll be entering the unranked category, I still don't expect to finish but I'm going to give it what I can and hope I can submit something before the end.

Good luck to everyone and I look forward to the judging.

There are some cryptic hints about the theme on twitter. I've been trying to decipher them. Here's my ideas

Hint: for this week-end, North Korea diplomacy sims are getting less likely

I think this means "You Are The Bad Guy" is low in the theme list.

Hint: Low stock value for platformers having Tim Cook host keynotes & collect coins

Apple…coins…hmm closest match is "industry" perhaps?

Final hint: Stealth games with torchlights don't sell well these days. I repeat, torchlights are not hype

This has got to refer to "Light the way", right?

What do you think? Have I been played by the puzzlemaster?
