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.

Wow, every team is using ace, even though there's no restriction.

Ace Master Race, dude.
A spot has opened up on Team Piano's Quartet. This is 100% my fault because I am both being difficult and stubborn (sorry teamies) and too ill atm to work on the jam.

I apologise for my being unable to do what needs to be done and can only hope that piano, rose and rabbit can forgive me for dropping out at this point. Don't overwork yourselves guys, and good luck with the game. I look forward to seeing you three work well.

If anyone is seeking to join the jam, ask after pianotm. There's a spare slot in the team for those who can event well.

Ok, due to circumstances that have occurred more than once during this time around, effective this event and events afterwards, you may adjust your teams as needed for whatever reason before the 1st 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.

This is effective immediately.

Is there anyone still looking for a team? Please let me know. I need someone who knows eventing (I know eventing, but I definitely need another experienced programmer), and I need to know what your other skills are.

I might be interested in joining up, I can event pretty well, having made some cool stuff in the past (nothing like, super complicated, but I've been having fun dabbling with vx ace's tools for a while now). Only issue is I have a lot of projects on the backburner and I have a full-time job with long hours.
I'm relatively decent at fairly simple sprite styles (default vx ace tileset style is beyond me most of the time, sorry) and I can write okayish background music in midi format. (nothing much spectacular, but at least not ear grating.) I can also write funny dialogue sometimes, though who knows if it's actually funny or not.

Most of those days are at a playground though, but it's nice to know "the couple of guys who were up to no good" Boss Battle has been done!

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

The correct term is 'Master rAce'

I know exactly what you mean! 10 hours straight per day, for me and art. I'm focused on one thing right now, and often, I'll see something I'm usually familiar with, and I'm like, "Uh..."

Oh, we dishing out progress reports?

Our team does have something that could be considered playable, but, it's still very much in alpha. However, Kloe showed us a couple screenshots of the battle engine (we're using GTBS, which is ironic to me) with her sprite and tile edits and Cap's windowskin.

*Edit: Oh, what they hey. Have her sample-shots!

@Froggie: Now that you mention it, what it looks like to me is that she took the head of Actor3, position 1, and put it on the body of Actor4, position 1.
