Not-a-game-jam game jam

JMM161437

@PB____ how open is this theme?

PB____

@JMM161437 The theme should to be involved with your project in some way, so that it's clear that you've worked on it during the not-a-game-jam, but you're free to interpret that in any creative way.

My game is finished and submitted. I’ll PM you the download code, @PB____ !

Alright, the time for the not-a-game-jam stream will be Saturday 13th on 19:00 GMT. I've also updated this in the original post.

I hope to see a lot of you people there! What I've seen and heard about submissions so far, was really exciting :D

I will try to make sure that someone else is around (it takes 2 to approve a program) but best not leave it too late to get things approved on Saturday!

PB____

Thanks for that!

Although I did ask in the original post if people would not wait until the last day to submit their game, I've tried to make that more clear in the edited post now. So I hope it won't be necessary, but it would of course be really nice if that would be possible if it turns out to be needed.

@PB____ ok got it. I think I might have to redo it cause the theme is barely even a thing in this one lol.

waldron

@JMM161437 got the same issue

vinicity

I can’t speak for PB, but if you did the game for the jam, I wouldn’t think it would be an issue?

I’m thinking that the main takeaway is that “you're free to interpret that in any creative way.” Change the main sprite, change the game title, slap on a backstory that has to do with entanglement!

Be creative!

PB____

@JMM161437 and @waldron don't worry if your game would qualify, @vinicity is absolutely right.

In the end it's about inspiring people to create something new. I won't be picking winners or disqualifiers during the stream, because it would not be fair to simply compare the result.

Please excuse me. I wish you a good stream. I like the theme.

PB____

Thanks @spikey and not a problem of course!

PB____

If you consider to enter, remember to submit your game in time! Also remember to send me the Game ID of your game, so I can check before the stream if I can download your project :)

JMM161437

My game might end up being submitted after the game jam... had an issue with my switch connecting to the internet... sorry for the inconvenience...

pianofire

@JMM161437 I can't see it in the Pending list

PB____

@JMM161437 Oh that's a shame! I hope it will make it through in time..

As a reminder: the stream is this evening at 19:00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), that is 20:00 CET (Central European Time)
We have 3 entries already, and JMM161437 could make that 4!

I know that's fewer entries than the official game jams, but I think these are exciting entries, so don't forget to check the stream out tonight* :)

`* or whatever is appropriate in your time zone`

I'll be streaming live in a minute at https://www.twitch.tv/pb4_

If you want to watch back the stream, and don't mind my nervousness and Dutch accent, it should remain online for about two weeks on: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/912775083

waldron

PickleCatStars

Thanks for the idea and the stream, PB :) Unfortunately as usual no time to do it myself, and I even got dragged away from the stream after about 3 mins so will have to watch the archive. Nice looking setup though, and I look forward to seeing all the entries :)
