Description

Welcome one and all to the first TimTam Game Slam! This event is basically about teaming up with other people to create games within a set time, based around a theme. It also comes with a prize - a packet of TimTams sent to your door!

What are TimTams? Why, only the best chocolate biscuit in the world! Well, okay, maybe not the absolute best, but they're freakin' amazing and I swear by them. They come in a variety of flavours and they taste so good you won't want to share them - which is great since they come in a pack of 11, making them impossible to divide evenly with your friends.

They're also Australian and I swear by them. Yeah boi~<3

RULES


- Teams of three people, no more, no less.
- Any engine as long as the games are playable without.
- This is a competition, as such all games will be judged!
- Each game needs to be over 10 minutes long at least.
- No dumb-ass joke games. The game needs to be of a reasonable quality to count.
- The game needs to stick to one of the themes and be recognisably based on that theme.
- Gamepage required.


EVENT STARTS: 23rd of February
EVENT ENDS: 31st of March


Theme: ART



THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND


+Any resources are fine, but keep in mind that people might stream or LP your games, so attempt to use non-copyrighted music where possible. The Emperor's March might be cool as balls, but it tends to get videos taken down no matter if it's a remix or midi version. There's a ton of free-to-use music out there if you look around, and even youtube has a bunch of channels dedicated to sharing such.

+ You can use resources from old projects, but the actual body of work needs to be new (this means maps and database stuff).

+ If you win and don't like biscuits or chocolate or the like, let me know and we can work out another Aussie snack as a prize instead.

+ Gamepage needs to be accepted to the site before you can even add your entry to the event page, so remember to get them in reasonably early!

+ Liberty is judging you. Hi~ o/



PRIZES


Contributors - A 20MS badge for taking part, providing the game/demo is over 10 minutes long and of reasonable quality.

Winners - A 75MS badge for each of the winning team and a packet of TimTams sent to your door (you can choose from a variety of flavours).


STREAMS
Libby does streaming. Here are the streams. Enjoi!

Well, uh, I'm not gonna make a team, and I'm completely useless, but if anyone wants me to join their's, just tell me. No idea how I can help out, but hey, I helped with some McBacon Jam projects (though only one could be considered a success, and that was only due to the overwhelming power of my teammates.

So, yeah, if anyone needs a third wheel, I exist...

Wait I pressed the button by accident I didn't mean to uhhh....

I guess my team is the RTP only low-effort team that probably won't submit anything.


I'm just gonna say, RTP-only is one of the best strategies to actually finish an event game.

Low-effort, not so much, unless you mean "keep to a schedule and don't set your sights too high." Scope creep is a game killer, triply so for events.

Like seriously polish is nice but we artists are notorious goddam flakes and will abruptly stop working because the weather's wrong or some dumb shit.

RTP is already finished and doesn't get cranky because it has ~*ideas*~ but the rest of the team won't implement them because they are scope creep and will take forever to do BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ~*VISION*~

RTP loves you and just wants to help you make a gam happen. Embrace the RTP.

I wish they would stop fucking around with all these new flavours of Tim Tam. All you need is the original and double coat, everything else is lame.

This also looks like a super cool jam but unfortunately I am up to my armpits in freelance work T_T. Good luck to everyone that enters!
Wrong! White chocolate, caramel, salted caramel, black forest, peppermint, cookies and cream and various other flavours are amazing and deserve to exist in this world. There's nothing wrong with plain and double coat, but I refuse to live in a world without the aforementioned other flavours!
This post has lead me to create the conspiracy that the only reason they have all of these new flavors after 50 years of just 2 is for the foreign market. Now excuse me while I go make an hour 8 long youtube video split over 30 parts detailing the finer details of this new conspiracy.
I'm a fucking Aussie, mate. No foreign market here.


I always forget that your Australian, you dont swear enough. :P

I blame this event- and Libby by extension- for the fact that I had to stop by the store and buy some dang TimTams.

I remember how surprised I was when they started selling them while I was living in Canada. Your all lucky you live in a world where you can enjoy our fine nations best export. <3

I'd like to join a team but i'm too tired to list all the things i can do.
i should consider sometime making a thread in the forums that just says "hello i do this" and just dump one of everything there or something.

anyway good luck

Dude, Twisties and Minties want a word with you in the back alley over there... Something about maligning their good names? IDK, but you better hurry. They looked pissed~

Also, I totally swear a bunch! Ask anyone. ;p

Twisties are okay (Chicken Twisties are nasty), they arent as good as Burger Men though, not that you can get those anywhere anymore, let alone overseas.

I dont remember seeing Minties while I was overseas, I used to enjoy them but over the years they ripped out one too many fillings so I gave up on them. Im more of a Jaffas man but those arent overseas either. Also what happened to Bertie Beetles? Why is the only place you can get them around here the shitty Brisbane Show?

I have just recently found out about this and would love to join a team. I can provide pixel art, eventing skills for Ace or MV, writing, and tilesets.
