Description

The theme is: HEROISM AND/OR VILLAINY

In case you missed the explanation or event the last time around...

"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 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)8/19/2015 to (September)9/18/2015
  • I will announce a theme on the 19st; 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.
  • If you don't 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.
  • Will be using a "pool" for people who want to try things in a more "random" fashion in place of what was reserves.
  • Team setups cannot be the exact same as they were in McBacon Jam #1. 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 2: MBJ2 Support Hero: 10 MS
  • Given to people who help me out with this event but don't join a team and submit a game.

McBacon Jam 2: MBJ2 Builder Hero: 25 MS
  • Given to people on a team that end up making something reasonably playable and meets the theme (or if I'm feeling nice, can at least make a really good gamepage, have an amazing video and images showing it off, and give me the impression that they'll keep working on it)

McBacon Jam 2: MBJ2 Cake Hero: 40 MS
  • Having everything done on the 9th (old deadline) will earn you this





Special thanks to:
Marimo for the logo for this McBacon Jam.
Archeia_Nessiah for helping me decide the theme, and countless other things.
Liberty for post event stuff.

Heroes AND villains? You ask a lot :)
That theme... really is not very invasive at all! Although, the last one wasn't very invasive either so I kind of expected as much.

I feel bored. How odd.

That is... pretty unexpected, actually. I think we'll all have fun with this one.

Exciting, exciting, exciting! Good luck, all!
I think the theme could have been a little more invasive, personally. You could take 99% of games on the site and they would fit the theme.
I found this jam posted on indiegamejams.com, I'd be interested in joining.

I can do design and I know my way around Unity.
Aye, so team random pool let's try and get organized over skype or something like that.

I can only be contacted by my email, and PM, Ethano, so that's a thing

Team random pool, please join Team Random Pool as it's necessary for submitting stuff xD
We'll have to set a communication medium somehow. Is Tau still here?

You have to add me and Ethano, as you are currently the only member. I'm not sure about Tau.

Aw yeah here we go! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
The thing about fitting the theme -- one thing is taking an RPG and saying it "fits the theme" simply because it has heroes and villains. Another thing is making an RPG that explores the concepts of heroism and villainy, perhaps playing them straight or twisting them but ultimately focusing on them as the central narrative and letting them grow. Your average rpg doesn't do that -- at least not consciously so. It's such an inherent theme to the genre that we will often overlook it.

This theme has potential.


EDIT: See? I'm serious for once. I'm even using caps!

A character doesn't have to be a hero to do acts of heroism.
Similarly, there can be plenty of characters that are not THE villains doing villainous stuff.
Is it too late to join a team?
I can do the art thing for someone(s)!

FlyingJester and I could totally use a second artist :)
I might take care of sprites while you'd handle the maps and panoramas, or the other way around depending on what you prefer. Send us a private mail if you'd like more information ;)

Just be sure to bear in mind that you'll need to be on a team for your entry to be accepted.

Assign me to a team!

See if you can work with Skyllartor then. (sorry if I'm being lazy about it, even if you did pop up after it started)
