The Jam has now officially ended! If you are still planning on working on your games you started/were working on during the Jam you can still post them here.
Game Jolt's second Weekend Jam is coming soon! We're hoping for this one to be the best jam yet!
What: Weekend Jams are little events where we get together to make games, work on existing game projects, or create resources such as music and graphics (to be used in collaborative game projects) over the course of a selected weekend. There are no prizes or rewards involved (except perhaps a featured game or two on the front page of GJ); the focus is on collaborating together, sharing our creations live, and having a jolly good time in the process!
When: So we're thinking about having it from August 6th to August 8th. (Exact start and end times to be determined)
Snapshots/Screen recording/fun: Just like the last Jam we are hoping people will frequently share their progress with the rest of the community. You can do this in a variety of ways:
Snapshots: The way we recommend to share screenshots is via dropbox. You can easily drag your game images there and share them with the community. If you don't have a Dropbox account, it may be a good idea to get one early to test out how it all works.
Demos: Everyone likes demos, so why not share one or two throughout the weekend? You can use Dropbox for this again, or better yet, upload it to Game Jolt and share it there!
Screen recording: This idea went extremely well last time, we'd like to bring it back into this jam aswell! We recommend Livestream for this. It's so easy even KniteBlargh can use it! To get started with this visit here. Livestream also allows you to record sound for the music people out there.
There will be a Jam topic up where we request all demos and screenshots be posted. This way all of the files and everything will be kept in a nice place while giving us the chance to look back at everyone's progress throughout the weekend!
Participants: We encourage people from all groups (artists, musicians, coders, comedians(?)) to participate in the Jam.If you are going to participate you can leave a post in this topic with your skills/field and if you're willing to work in a group.
