Description
THE THEME IS:
DEPRIVATION AND/OR ABUNDANCE
DEPRIVATION AND/OR ABUNDANCE
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls; I'm sure many of you have wished to work with someone new, especially someone well known and respected, or maybe just someone who's gotten your attention and appreciation of their work. Perhaps you aren't well know but would like to meet and collaborate with some people, show what you got? Are you just looking for something a little different? While not all of these can be promised, it would be nice to be able to do some of these, yes? I give you, McBacon Jam.
The idea and goal of McBacon jam is to give people a chance (and excuse) to team up with people they wouldn't normally team up with an give them an idea of what its like to work with them. Hopefully, this encourages less cliques and more willingness to diversify collaborations.
Here are the basics:
- This event will run from 1/21/2015 to 2/11/2015 (3 weeks because everyone been getting sick and McBacon loves you)
- I will announce a theme on the 21st; that is when your team can officially begin.
- Team sizes must be a minimum of 2 with a maximum of 4 (remember, this is about collaborations). Solo entries will not be accepted for this.
- You may be in only 1 team.
- You may submit some basic info about yourself so that others can get a better idea about you at a glance.
- Just to set the record once and for all, there IS NO APPLICATON OR APPLICATION PROCESS. all info is provided voluntarily and for the benefit of others.
- If you already have a team decided, be sure all members join said team.
- If you dont have a team, but want to join one, make a team with just you in it. if someone joins your team, make sure everyone in said team talks about it too.
If no one does join said team, I will be talking to everyone without a team and helping everyone get teamed up. - If you don't care one bit about who you're teamed up with, consider going into reserve. Being in reserve allows me to makes sure anyone that wants to be in a team can. plus, it grants you the best trophy in this event!
- Assuming this is a success, don't expect to team up with the exact same people every time. Each new jam means different team arrangements!
- If bizarre circumstances occur or if you're having some team issues, let me know and I will take care of things accordingly.
Badges!
Only 1 badge will be handed out, depending on the circumstances:
McBacon Jam Effort: 10 MS
- Given to people on a team who at least turns in something remotely playable and tries to meet the theme.
McBacon Jam Pioneer: 25 MS
- Given to people on a team that end up making something and meets the theme quite well (I expect this one to be the one handed out mostly)
McBacon Jam Reserve: 30 MS
- This award overrides the others and is given only to people who went the extra mile and put themselves in reserve, provided they still turn in something though.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Speak up and post!

So it is looking like we probably don't qualify for even the 10 MS badge this time. Barring my team mates doing something amazing during the rest of the day.
The scope that we were aiming for was way too pie-in-the-sky big for our intensity levels, and not to be 'that guy' but I kind of knew it from the beginning and said so (if we had all worked as hard as Unity every day, in a way that was actually coordinated and efficient, that might have been a different story, but eh, I'm not stressing it. Wasn't nobody payin' us, and it wasn't even a proper contest.) And then in the last days of the jam Unity and I both got shackled with some kind of winter death plague.
Not qualifying will be...a bit of a bummer. But I have to say it was a very fun experience nonetheless. And to be honest, I am quite glad that I didn't go "as hard as humanly possible" and gam mak myself to the verge of literal, physical death like LockeZ, even if that would have meant we had something to show. While I respect his dedication, I am not ashamed of prioritizing my actual physical health and energy levels over MakerScore. I'm not as young as I used to be. (I gave birth to Backstage in just under a month back in college in 2005 and it almost killed me.)
Jeez, I'm sorry baconator. That sounds awful. Some real tragic gift of the magi shit right there. : (

The truth id. I had wanted to do a webcast following this up, but this morning, some vision problems of mine decided to make themselves worse, so I wont be able to do that or play games too well for a while. I'm very sorry guys.

Oh, that sucks, Max. Especially knowing how much you guys worked on it. Maybe add a game page and try for even an intro scene or something playable? It doesn't have to be perfection, just something small to show off whatever you do have (and get a badge).
Also, Ziggy, you just rest up and take care of yourself. There'll be a lot of people playing each others' games so you won't have to fret about being a bit late to the party on that front (most people are probably playing games that have a download already, so...) and the review event (which will be added in a day or two (dear God, am I busy!) will help with feedback for the time being.
Once you get better you can play and pod, but until then just take care of yourself. You've worked hard on the contest and on our game, so take a break for a little while. You deserve it. ^.^)b

Urgh, same as Max about not making it on time, I had a major headache that lasted for 4 hours before I finally gave up and had to rest. It's frustrating that we won't make it but, ;w;
@Ziegfriend ;~; Take care of yourself.

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I heard a rumor that if you want to finish your game you can still do so after the deadline ends, and if you want your makerscore you can just submit a five-star review for my game!
I heard a rumour that putting up something playable (even if it's just a few minutes worth) is enough to net you a badge.
I am uploading our submission right now at the last moment. Come on, RMN, don't lag now please...
Edit: Yes! Just in time! Thank Aremen!

Hos strict would the deadline be? We can upload a version now, but one of our members is in the middle of testing and one-two hours would be ideal.

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

Five more minutes, huh?
I really hate not having been able to do much for this event due to this stupid situation with UPC. I really feel like I let my team down.
But I will still do my part, even if it is after the deadline and not part of the official submission.

I shouldn't have joined, but...
In my defense, it was insisted that my name would be put on the game, even if I didn't join. I knew for a fact that I did not want to participate in a game jam.

Welp, it looks like quite a few teams that created a playable game forgot to submit their entry to the event. I'm sure Zeigfried will be lenient in that case, though... right?

You have to submit it here, not just on a game page? That didn't even occur to me! Also, we only uploaded it to Mediafire with eight minutes left. Forgive us sensei.

downloading born under the rain now. i'm not reading anything about it! GOIN' IN BLIND
i finished my part of our game (all the maps, scenarios, cutscenes, picking music i didn't make) but welp, dire lack of communication on our team. next jam i will be working with people based on time zones, my schedule is pretty rigid due to working at a school and going to bed earlyish/waking up early.
