Trying to extend my pico scripts a bit more to do something more action-based.

So far:

• Main character
• Movement
• Shooting
• Movement while shooting

My current thematic vision is having the players reach cellphones to make calls to rescue people. Might change, I'll go to environment generation next. :)

For this Alakajam I am focused on creating a Cutscene Editor tool for my framework; Turtle Brains. It will be a fully featured editor with undo/redo and the ability to manipulate time and space for the sprites and objects that build a cutscene. With this tool I plan to make a very small game from cutscenes I create while testing.

Come join live and see what it is all about; https://www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet

Tools being used:
Visual Studio
Visual Studio Code
Custom Framework
Photoshop

We are working on a minimalist game. Spin and Connect.

Using:

• Unity
• Adobe Illustrator
• Audacity

I've got no clue what I'm doing, but I've got an idea and I'm not afraid to use it.

Hey there,

I've already participated in 2 Alakajams by the past but I don't have much time with me because of work.

But I'll try to do something nonetheless !
I'll be using my own game engine written in Typescript that I hope to get ready in time for the jam.

Main toolset:

• Text: VS Code
• Graphics: PyxelEdit and/or Affinity Designer
• Music/Sounds: Bosca Ceoil

Super excited for our 4th Alakajam! As usual I'll be using Ableton as my DAW and a variety of instruments and noisemakers in the process.

This Alakajam happens to coincide with a long national holiday weekend here in Finland, so we're happy to have today off to clean up, relax, plan our meals a bit, and prep our workstations for the weekend.

This is just so you can avoid making the same game as I do ;)

• Cards: a top-down, turn-based, deck-building Kard Racing game. If that doesn't sound intriguing, I don't know what will. Hot seat multiplayer would be best for the game, but not for streamability, so I might have to add a ghost car mode.
• Orbit or Satellite: a golfing game, but in space, with orbital mechanics.
• Heights: going up in a hot air balloon while avoiding obstacles. Sounds boring so this idea needs more work.
• Swap: defend buildings against enemies on a grid like Into The Breach, but you have no units; instead, you can view your enemies' moves ahead of time and swap them to your advantage.
• Paint: a vertically scrolling bullet hell shmup where you have a paintball gun which you can use to paint enemies. Their colour affects their properties and behaviour. This idea also needs more work.
• Connections: grow and maintain a telephone grid in the style of Mini Metro, place cables and switches, avoid dropping calls or running over capacity.
• Teleportation: another Into The Breach inspired game, where your units have no attack but can only teleport to block/deflect enemies' attacks.
• Time: an Asteroids clone but with special relativity and a low light speed. Space compression, time dilation, redshift/blueshift.
• A Single Room: an escape room puzzle. No highscores and no streamers. I don't like this theme and don't know what else to do. Please don't vote for it.

We are Back!

Really excited for this Jam! 72 Hours! So much more time to work!

First time streaming! Check out the "streamers" tab at the Event Dashboard!

Due to my day job I won't be able to jam 100%, but will do the best I can!
Good luck to everyone!

Got into Game Jams recently and this one seems awesome. Looks like theres a good selection of themes so no matter what there'll be an awesome selection of games! Good Luck everyone, and i look forward to trying out the entries =)

I really love taking part in Alakajam, this will be our 4th time here. I even took Monday off from work so we could participate. 💪

As always, I'll be using Procreate on the iPad for sketches and Illustrator for final artwork.

I'm hoping to record more of our process this time around, here's a sample from our last jam:

And the finished product:
