Game jam: One Button. We're starting!
Hello and welcome once again to the gamejam! I normally only do these at the online cons, but some people showed interest in doing them every 4 months, so consider this our trial run!
For those of you not in the know, here's how it works:
1. Go to : https://itch.io/jam/mlp-off-con-game-jam-one-button and join the Jam
2. Maek gaem in any engine you'd like
3. Once you finish your game, submit it on the itch page before the time runs out game so everyone can play it
4. When the timer runs out, I'll showcase the games in a live stream
Now here's the thing, it's going to be a little different this time round since there'll be no con to show these off. My plan is to do a stream via cytube for the showcase, possibly on november 2nd, sunday 6 EST. Check the anchor for updates in schedule or anything related to the Jam
After that wall of text, let me present to you the theme for the Jam: One button!
Read that again, that's one (1) button. The games of this Jam have to be either playable using a single button (be it a keyboard key, right click of a mouse or however else you interpret it) or be centered around the press of a button.I keep saying that word, it's losing all meaning
The main thing I want out of this is short, finished games. I myself struggle with the scope of my projects, it's a skill that needs to be practiced, so let's practice it!
Any and all of this is subject to change, check the anchor for updates. This is a community thing, so if any of you have opinions or disagree on anything, please let me know
On a slightly unrelated note, you may have noticed the unidentified mare in the OP pic, say hello to: Time Crunch! She's an overconfident procrastinator. She works better under pressure... Or so she claims. Don't be like Time Crunch, pace yourselves!
This is the OC I came up with for the Jam since I wanted a special OP pic for the thread, but didn't have any mascots to use. I claim no ownership and consider her to be a thread OC.
I was thinking of her Cutie Mark being an alarm clock, but I haven't actually come up with a design. Also, I can't shake the feeling that she's missing something...
