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).

If I don’t want Tim Tams, can Libby be the Australian snack mailed to my door instead? ;)

That might cost a bit more than sending just a snack. >.<;; BUT I'LL TRYYYYYY<3


I'm enjoying the looks of these teams. So far Cap_H still needs someone to join his adventure game studio team and bicfarmer is looking for two more as well.
Cashkitty and Retro are looking for a third!

As for in the comments:
psy_wombats is looking to code shit.
Shinan mentioned wanting to mess around in Adventure Studion (yo, Cap!)
oddRabbit shyly put his name forward.
Avee has offered retro-style graphics.
Seiromem is up for testing and battle stuffs.

Arcmagik is in my team. That was what his comment was about. I asked him to be on my team. He said yes, but I wasn't online so he had to wait for me.

I was telling the truth when I said I hit the button by accident. I found out how to take myself off the list.

The Oreos will not get the Tim Tams. For the Oreos will not know how to properly enjoy the Tim Tams!
How DARE you throw such SLANDER!
I do hope you are prepared to be crushed in eight hours. Team Oreo will not hold back and will not show mercy. Our finest teamwork and organization skills will lead us to victory. And regardless of your LIES, we will enjoy our timtams the way they were meant to be enjoyed.

But for now, the focus is on preparing for the marathon of gammak.

is that not the purpose of the contest? to learn HOW to enjoy timtams? those who subsist on oreos yearn for the chance.

...or in caz's case, just depserately want libby-senpai's posterior?
since i have no chance to get 3 people in a team or whatever, i'll join whoever randomly adds me to their team, VXA only, restrictions may apply.

Liberty, I wasn't looking for a team as I won't be able to do much, but I changed my engine to lurk Shinan on my slacking team. And I actually started thinking about working on an ags game...
Wow, looks like we've got some serious ringers here. Team Tim Tamming To The Jam is intimidating as FUCK, Team Penguin is a POWERHOUSE, and team uh oh oreo is downright SCARY. (Don't feel bad if I didn't mention you, those were not the only teams that looked stacked to me.)

Anyway I was going to say please PM me in the next couple of days if you'd like me on your team (I guess I am still saying that technically) but DAMN those are some high powered teams and I feel like I have no shot at winning those Tim-Tams.

I haz all the programs. I am good at writing and database, and passable at mapping and minor pixel twiddling.

Oh my Gourd! I can feel the diabetes radiating from that, but I'd eat it all anyway.

Under an hour until the theme reveal, I assume?

My prediction is "doves in space"
I have this horrible feeling about "surrealism."

I appreciate the intensity of having a zoomed in version of your previous avatar KatanaHiroshi, it shows that you went into serious mode.

EDIT: I now realized that your avatar changes everytime I load the page. I am officialy a doofus.
