Description

CHECK IN Time! Submit and image of something youve been working on for this and if possible, leave a link on the pic to your games page. Check in time will last until the 28th at Midnight GMT. after that, you'll get no credit for check in. Entries must be submitted and not just posted for credit.

The theme: Inspiration! What has inspired you to makes games, or creative stuff for the matter? Make a game based off of what has inspired people in your team!


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 known 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.



Here are the basics this time around:
  • Any engine is fine.
  • No restrictions on resources used. Also, as last time, and as it stands, commissioning an outsider is fine so long as it isn't that much work and doesn't effect the team dynamic.
  • This event will run from (August)3/10/2017 to (September)4/19/2017
  • I will announce a theme on the 10th; that is when your team can officially begin, as last time.
  • 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.
  • If you already have a team decided, be sure all members join said team.
  • Team setups cannot be the exact same as they were in McBacon Jam #1 & #2. 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.
  • you may adjust your teams as needed for whatever reason before the first check in without it effecting whether or not you can use that team in the future. However, if the people leaving did add something to the game being made, they should at least be given a special thanks, as a courtesy.

Victory!

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

Liberty, thx for playing our tech demo and for your honest feedback, its very usefull to increase our game. Sorry for some frustration. We will continue the development.



Congratulation everyone. You did an impressive amount of work to build those demos and games.

Liberty, your streams provide a lot of extremely valuable inputs for the developers, especially for unfinished projects. What makes them so useful is that you continuously talk during play to share your current feelings: when game elements generate fun, positive surprise or frustration, you say it. When you're done playing, you list the good, the bad and make improvement suggestions. Thanks a lot!

What do you think about a playtest event focused on games still in production?
I'm really surprised that there weren't that many finished games this time. Event was awesome nonetheless! Me and my team are definitely going to finish our project.
I'm having a blast watching all of these recorded streams.
The last of the batch went faster than I thought it would.

The stream from last night is now up!

This time we played:
- The Swallows Descent (finished it from where we left off last time)
- Ascent of the Stars
- Cold at Heart

We'll be playing more tonight~ 5 to go!
Thanks for playing our tech demo, Liberty! That was quite fun to watch. Any bit of frustration you experienced we'll try our best to iron out, haha. You did quite good at that harder basement puzzle. I still have not done that myself.

I'm glad the art style I made turned out charming as well. It's gonna get a LOT better in the coming month or so as well, for now I have time to flesh it out more.

Though I want to give a special shout out to Cash and Jeroen. Cash worked a LOT of magic with the mechanics in such a little time and both had so many creative ideas flowing at all times. Allowed to me distance myself from the game side and focus on art and music, which is a lot of trust from my end.
First stream video can be found here:

It covers:
= Slime Village
= Hollow Project
= A Swallows Descent (to be continued)

So far, so good~ >.<)b
I'll be streaming same time tonight (10pm AEST)
You didn't! It's still going.
