So… I've been thinking about using Pico-8 to make my game.
Is there anyone that's used it before? I wanna know if it's worth buying.

Hello, my name is Jacob_V. I'm an amateur game jammer (this will be my 3rd overall) and I wanted to try out something a bit more official. My past jams won 4th and 2nd place, but I have a feeling this one will be quite a bit tougher. Good luck to all the entrants and I look forward to participating!

Hey everyone, my name is Antares, I'm an artist, composer and game designer, and I've also taught myself a bit of coding and 3D modelling.

My jam experience consists of the last two LDJAM events which I did solo.

I'm considering joining a team for Alakajam, to see how much I can accomplish as part of a team where I don't have to handle so many tasks on my own. My primary area of interest is the concept design and asset creation work.

Here is some of my character design work: https://www.artstation.com/antares_valdemar

These are the quick concepts I put together for the environment in my LD39 entry: https://i.imgur.com/HxgMML4.jpg

I'm looking forward to the start of the event!

Hey everyone, Volvary here!

I always find it interesting to see why people join jams and where they come from, background wise.

As far as background goes, I am a Game Designer at heart, with a Game Programmer training.

My past reasons for joining games jams were multiple (experience, fun, etc), but this time my reason is simple: As a team lead in the medical simulation field, I do not have a lot of time left for Game Dev. So for me, Game Jams are now a reason to drop everything for a weekend and indulge in what I like the most: Game Development.

This time around, I will be potentially joining alone as I do not have a team. However, I would not be against joining a team as one of the programmers if someone is interested.

Im participating in the first alakaJam with a game made in game maker studio. Im going to go for team, but if there is no one who wants to be on teams by the 21st i'll be going in solo. I know programming and basic game design. I suck at music but im even worse at art. So art wise i'll have to go minimalistic. If anyone wants to jam with me here is my link. Hit me up at rdg922@gmail.com on email or @LinkaDonk on twitter. https://crowdforge.io/jams/alakajam/teams/390 if you want to join

Alakajam! has just been added to the CrowdForge Jams site, that lets you find teammates for upcoming events.

Find a team for Alakajam!

Hi, I'm Sniperninja564. And this is basically going to be ludum dare 39 revenge for me as I did not finish last jam!

Some Info:

• I will be participating in Unranked
• I will be using Gamemaker Studio 2
• I will be live streaming this on twitch.tv/sniperninja564

Good luck to everyone \o/

----I'm totally in----

I'll be using GM:S (GameMaker: Studio) and maybe beepbox or FL Studio for music?
I'm super hype for this jam even though my game might not be that good.

---ANYWAYS---

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE
