Description

Ok, im late on checkin thingy, so from NOW until the 20th submit a pic of your game for 20 MS and a check in badge.

AND THE THEME IS... Love/hate relationships! All entries must have a significant love/hate relationship in the games or have it be a significant part of the game. good luck everyone!


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 (March)3/17/2017 to (April)4/17/2017
  • 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 previous McBacon Jams. 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.




Badges!

I'm still looking for team members. I've asked one member of RMN, but they will be busy with other things and have no time for this event.

Again, if you want to be a part of my team, I still have slots open on TEAM COBALT SKY, so PM me if you would like to join.

Stand back. Artist at work. I paint with enthusiasm if not with talent.

If you find that the startup date is coming closer and no one has joined your team consider joining an incomplete team instead.
hmmm, well, after some consideration (read: the coin came up heads three times in a row), I've decided to give this a shot. What I can do:

- Music (though my old laptop dying means I'm not quite at "full power" here, as some of my stuff doesn't work in Windows 10)
- Graphics (drawing and pixel art; not as much experience or proficiency here; I'm quite iffy on character design in regards to costume or non-humans)
- GML programming (thanks to HumbleBundle, I have GM Studio Pro; I don't have any other iterations of Game Maker)

I did buy RPG Maker XP a long time ago, and I suppose could theoretically install and activate it on my current laptop (assuming RMXP even works in Windows 10), but I have very little experience using it.
I'm up, as usual. Hoping to make something as fun as the first two times. Stuff I do:
- code
- story
- whatever needs to get done

Preferably working on something:
- not a RM-style JRPG
- not RM (I can Unity, sort of... Else I can work stuff like the SaGa engine while people map in Tiled)

Probably working with blob, if anyone has two slots, or else I'll start recruiting people.
I would secretly love to work with the SaGa engine so that I can steal its secrets for myself become a better programmer. It's Java, right?

If that's the case, I do have some skills for anyone who wants to have me on their team:

-Sprite Art
-Map Design
-Basic Story Writing

If anyone is doing RMVX, VX Ace, 2k, or 2k3, and still has openings in their team, I will be happy to join!
Been craving some pixel pushing lately! Would love to contribute graphics to any team that would have me ^__^
I never made a game before. So why not sign up. Anyone can join.

Keep in mind though that solo entries wont be accepted, so you need to get at least one more person.

ESBY, you are my hero for the day.
Also, obviously because we are loose cannon. We don't play by the ruuuleeeeees
Aethers and Jihaus need to end up on the same team so we can get some crazy medieval fantasy mecha swaggery! :o

Incoming Mecha Knights bro fisting on the title screen. Then the opening starts out with 'Swag. 3052 AD. Fist Bro looks out of his monster mansion tower of extreme perplexion and surveys his domain. Fist Bro is alarmed when he sees a group of Toaster Terrors coming towards his land! If its a battle they want, its a battle they shall have! Mecha Swag! To the choppas!'

>.> Totally want to play that game now.

Pixel art, mapping, event systems, that sort of thing is what I tend to do! Oshuns can be bribed for 3 slices of pizza, let me know, the more pizza the more likely I can join your team

I have RM2k/3, RMVX, RMVX Ace, RMMV so any of those I am fine with working in.

If we didn't already team up for Ruin Frontier for McBacon Jam 1 then we'd totally make this a thing
Aethers and I are always plotting mecha shenanigans but unfortunately we can't do that for this event since we did that in mcbacon jam 1 already. Oh well that's what the Ruin Frontier games are for I guess.

Edit: dammit Ocean you stole my post

Edit 2: I've now been recruited into the team "Just Supernormal". Good luck everyone!
Haha, yanno, before making that post, I'd actually checked the event pages for the previous Jams to make sure that hadn't happened yet. I guess I either skimmed the Teams too quickly, or the info there isn't accurate for some reason.

Ruin Frontier was one of the best games out of McBacon Space Jam 1. I can't remember too many others from back then, except, maybe, Disparity, and weeelll...

The TM is for Totally Magical.

Ruin Frontier and Disparity. I remember both of those well. I think Born In the Rain was McBacon Jam 1, too.

Yeah, but there is that rule in McBaco- just kidding, everyone already said it.

Back then, we have a great teamwork. While most of us do spriting and multi-tasking, the work can be roughly divide like:
+ One Spriter (and being lazy, i don't have the engiineee)
+ One BattleSystem/Map/UI Designer
+ One Writer
+ One Scripter

Somehow we (more like Haus and Ocean. Fomar finished scripts ahead of time) managed to assemble everything we had done on the last two days, typing down the plot/story/dialogue as he make the in-game events - and so RF1 happened.

Team out of time, folks.

I guess in the end, our motto is true, "make my game for me".

Also, I have been recruited into the team Armoured Dragon Corps which probably has the mecha-est name in the event. Nice. Let's bacon gaem maek together.
:O Welcome aboard Aethers! Now to let Team Leader Kevin fill you in. Mwaha. *Gets busy brainstorming storylines....also finishing up a project upgrade in Sunset Sheriff.*
