No ideas. I'm out.

We're going with space battles, and all three themes! Once again this is probably too ambitious for a team of 2, I guess we can't change our habits. Time to sleep now, have a nice jam everyone :)

Chaos? 2

Just looking around at what's going on for this 10th Alakajam.
I'm confused as to why there are 3 themes, but then I can see on a banner that they "kinda" explain it.

I don't see the reason for the 3 themes, but I see that a theme is the legit winner, another is a random from the "Shortlist" and anotherone is choosen by a viewer (whatever that means, I assume, during some stream?)

But the shortlist has 20 themes and none is "Chaos" so how did Chaos end on the final 3 themes?

Ok. I'm in. I have a lot of adulting to do this weekend, but I'll have something up there.

It will be a console .net app written in F#.

I'm here once again to try and make something. I'm enjoying the theme suggestions this time around, and I was surprised when my suggestion of paths made it to #2 in the peoples choice! But as I always do, I come into these jams with zero ideas intentionally and I'm looking forward to seeing how I can interpret this chaotic intervention.

I'll likely be focussing on the Maps theme for now, but I'll be joined by a few friends who've never done this kind of thing before. Going to be a relaxed approach for sure. We'll be using Godot 3.2.3 as our primary tool, Wings3D if we need 3D stuff, Pyxel Edit for artsy stuff, Krita maybe we'll see. No idea about sound effects yet but I'm excited to get started.

Good luck everybody!

Here we go again 0

Haven't done one of these in a while, but I finally have time to do so again.
Got some good themes as well, which doesn't hurt things.

I'll be using good ol' GM:S 2 and whatever audio program I feel like when the time comes for music.

Best of luck to you all!

The themes are MAPS, CHAOS and SHIPS, good luck to all! 2

With the theme now revealed, the 10th Alakajam! has started! Good luck to all! And consider supporting high scores for a chance to be entered in the tournament following the jam.

Big thanks to @DanaePlays and @Aurel300 for hosting the awesome launch stream! If you missed it, you can still watch the replay on her Twitch channel. If you like The Elder Scrolls, you will also enjoy Danae's regular streams, where she usually goes exploring the huge world of Morrowind.

Submission times

The end of the jam is depending on whether you pick ranked or unranked. You can create your game page at any time during the jam (and update it any time after it's created):

  • Ranked: September 20th 7:00pm UTC, which means you have 48 hours (+1 hour for late entries to create their page).
  • Unranked: September 21th 10:00pm UTC, which means you have a bit more than 72 hours

Cool things to do during the jam

  • Stream your development process. Join the event as a streamer from your dashboard to let everyone know about it, and possibly get featured on the front page during the week-end! This will also have the side effect to let you enter the streamer competition.
  • Write a blog post: Share your thoughts on the theme, post your progress, images of food or gifs of cute animals. You can also free to use posts for advertising live jam streams.
  • Come relax on the Discord server, tweet about #alakajam and/or follow the alakajam Twitter account.
  • Initialize your game page early!

Everyone have a nice week-end, and see you on the other side ;)

This is an announcement of an application to this jam 0

Nobleboy • 4 years ago on 10th Alakajam! entry  Road to freedom

I hereby join this jam with a team potentionally counting 4 heads.

We have been training for this task relentlessly for the past 9 months by keeping our backsides tied to our pewdiepie-branded videogaming chairs.

We have set it as our sole goal to release a videogame that shall make you hurl, cry and defecate upon your brand new supreme-branded t-shirt and sparkling white new Jordans.

Sometimes the themes are good, sometimes they don't matter and sometimes they can mess up the jam.
I like the idea of being able to choose from 3 themes.

I will be joining for the sixth time. I also wish everybody a lots of creativity and edurance for the Jam!!!
