Not-a-game-jam game jam
-
On Discord people have mentioned that they miss the game jam this month. So there was some discussion about it.
So even though this is definitely not a game jam, it is something similar. Here is how it's going to work:
- The plan is that I'll stream on Saturday 13th (see stream details below)
- The theme is entangled the game (or program) needs to do something with this theme
- Make sure that you submit your game really early! This is not a normal game jam, I do not have access to games that have not been through the approval process by the FUZE team! So don't wait until the last day to submit your game!!
- Because I don't have access to the games beforehand, it's a good idea to mention as a reply to this forum post that you would like to join with your game. You could send me the game id beforehand via a private message on the forum or discord, or via the chat during the stream.
Feel free to discuss below.
An update, to clarify further:
- It is required for the program to make it through the default approval process of the FUZE team (friend shares currently don't work for me, so I need to be able to download it using a game ID).
- The game needs to refer to the theme in some way (this is to ensure that the game was made for this not-a-game-jam game jam).
Other than that, there are no requirements about the submission. It doesn't even need to be a game :)
Stream Details
The submitted games will be streamed on Saturday 13th on 19:00 GMT
(on my Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/pb4_ ).
I will be using a microphone, but not a camera, however, I will display the chat on stream, so when you react to the games in the chat, that becomes part of the stream as well :)Submit your game in time!
Don't wait until the last day to submit your project for the stream! It needs to be approved by the Fuze team for me to be able to access it using a Game ID. Usually this process doesn't take too long, but this is not their initiative, so we should not put the stress om them of approving the games on saturday... -
Great idea! Get stuck in everyone.
-
Hmmm... Interesting theme... And I have an idea :D!
-
50/50 atm i can barely keep up with the high score challenge and all, i have an idea but maybe not the time.
-
Great idea! I will try to participate with a little something!
-
Well to be fair, it wasn't originally my idea, I kind of joined in on the idea on Discord 😋
I'd also like to point out that I stream without a camera, so don't expect big reactions from me during the stream. Dave is really good at making you feel like you've done a great job, I will not be as good with that. However, I will of course respect every entry and I'm happy if people submit anything :)
-
@PB____ will you have a voice on the games or no?
-
@JMM161437 Yes, I'll talk during the stream (with a microphone). Also I normally show the chat on stream, so you can easily read the response of the community as well
-
@PB____ Ok I'll try to make it for the stream :)
-
Here's what I got so far.
Shared code: 9XWS3MND9K
It's not much but thanks for the game jam.Explanation here: https://fuzearena.com/forum/topic/1540/fuze-dev-game
Also for the reference for the language the game uses: https://fuzearena.com/forum/topic/1449/hack-assembly-ported-to-fuze/18

Really nice to see that people are joining in on this! I'm looking forward to see what people come up with!
I had not yet communicated a time for the stream. The official Fuze streams were on 19:00 GMT, so I think it would make sense to pick the same time for this stream. However, if this time would not work out for anyone who is thinking about joining with a project, I would like to hear soon.
I intend to pick and communicate a definitive time for the stream within a few days, as a reply to this forum post. So keep an eye out for that :)
-
@PB____ how open is this theme?
-
@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!
-
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.
-
@JMM161437 got the same issue
-
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!
