still, feel free to talk here
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) hi ho, salt pals and newcomers alike! I'm Neuropath.
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) and I'm Tiny's First Pepsi! and together we're hosting...
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/sUnhp0e.png)
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif)(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) the 2013 winter salt game making jam!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/vphHh7h.jpeg)
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) this here's the second in what we hope is gonna be a seasonal game jam tradition!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) we had us some real good entries (http://itch.io/jam/saltw) last fall, from game jam vets and complete novices alike!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/YZCPRGI.jpeg)
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) A game jam's where you make a little game over a short period of time. Turns out it's not hard to do, with the right tools and a bit of gumption!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) y'all can use helpful software like twine, klik 'n play, gamemaker, and adobe flash, OR you could make it all from scratch!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) the gamemaking begins on DEC 21st! At that time, the official thread will be posted, and it will explain...
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/F0wtr9g.jpeg)
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) there ain't hard rules we're gonna hold anyone to. you can even work with others!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) BUT...! there are some wicked rad themes that will be posted on the commencement thread.
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) you don't gotta use them, but hoo doggy, we don't wanna spoil nothing, but let's just say the cool kids are definitely gonna. and bein' cool is what gets you votes and... gets you prize!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) so, are you SALT ENOUGH TO MAKE GAME?
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/JhiQBx2.jpeg)
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/k8sA9vP.gif)
A skull to hold your wealth... to be mounted on a pedestal engraved with YOUR NAME! or whatever else you'd like!
it contains many secrets and treasures... and a curse!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) *wolf whistle* I'm in love already ~ <3
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) and there's more where that came from. we're gonna be handing out at least 3 prizes by the time all's said and done this christmas season!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/ICL0JlP.jpeg)
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) newcomers, get yourself a saltw account and introduce yourself here!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) while you're at it, see some of the cool salt sights (http://saltworld.net/forums/topic/11772-dump-topic-for-stuff-thecatamitesbonzi-buddyetc-might-like/) and spectacles. (http://saltworld.net/forums/topic/12677-iconic-game-archaeology-miscellaneous-artifact-pile-image-heavy/)
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) like what you see? then consider yourself welcomed to our humble little secret society.
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) for newcomers and old salts alike, now's the time to announce your intention to join!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) and maybe tell us a little about what tools you might want to use!
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) this thread's a great place to find team-mates, or just to chill out and soak up the salt environment
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif) and spread the word! #swjam it from twitter, whisper it to yr friends in the dead of night
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) shout it from rooftops and tie messages to yr pets and release them to the streets! let the world know, come winter...
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/wtFcIyM.gif) (https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/J1iAU05.gif)it's time to JAM
Dec 21st, Midnight GMT. Be ready. It comes... for you!

Lets try this again.
Construct 2 again.
-
i'm in. but also, i will be fighting tooth and skull to win that mystic relic. fighting dirty, if necessary...
my weapons of choice are twine, rpg maker, stencyl, game maker.. anything easy. my stats in [PROGRAMMING] are low..
also!! if you'd like to bounce some ideas around when things develop, you are welcome to join our irc channel! we're on irc.esper.net at #saltw

you all just signed up for a murder jam. it will be your own skulls you receive in the mail. don't believe me? just try posting your info in this thread.
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/k8sA9vP.gif)
I can confirm this gnarled ol' lil skull, this gilded and encrusted death bank, the capitalist counterpart to the mask of agamemnon...is a top-level prize like you've never seen before, and contains secrets only heard whispered in the winds of abandoned alleyways in uninhabited urban ruins, bellowing from the untold depths of the legendary tombs that lie below...
this funerary mask is your own. are you game enough to claim it?
-
I failed at the last saltw jam but this time I hope to complete something. I've never collaborated with anyone before so if anyone wants me to program for them that might be interesting.
-
Another chance to redeem myself. Last jam I caught that sickness and it was bad :( This time I'm injectin OJ into my veins so imma be all up in this winter jam.
Get your coats and booties peeps. It's on.
-
hot dang!! i should perk up my salty old bones and get in on this hoppin' jam! i've been super busy with college lately, but i'll be sure to be back here for the holidays in order to compete for the precious prize advertised...
i've used twine, rpg maker 2003, and adventure game studio, among other engines... but i am Not Good when it comes to programming and music, so i would totes consider collaborating with someone who is in need of art and writing skills!
P.S. Porpentine, welcome to SW! i am a fan~ :3

a pissmas game........
hi porpy!
-
i have not subjected the world to nearly enough poorly-conceived twine stories that i wrote in an evening and didn't bother proofreading
so maybe come december 2013 there will be another twine game nobody really needs??????????
-
Your optimism. I LIKE it!

hey jammers, it looks like there might be a way to get the standard edition of Gamemaker for free, for a limited amount of time (http://www.destructoid.com/yoyo-offers-gamemaker-studio-standard-edition-for-free-266469.phtml)
I might try to wrangle my hands on a copy. I'm totally gonna make a game for the jam, even though I'm exempting myself from prizes (it'd be silly to give myself a skull I made, haha!). that beign said, if someone wants to team up with me, they are totally eligible for skull-voting and ergo skull-having!
-
gonna make something for this and it's gonna suck >:^o
-
I'm ready to jam.
Thanks, Neuropath, for pointing out the GameMaker deal!
-
i am looking forward to this more than xmas
translators note: that means i am joining
-
gonna make something for this and it's gonna suck >:^o
you're a filthy liar and I won't stand for it >:-[
also you're welcome, fukaige! welcome to the jam, enjoy your stay!
-
hi porpentine!!! im a big fan!!! hi fukaige!! *swoon* uh... im gonna make a thing for this,probably in game maker, probably a s- shoot them up!! - sumimasen!!!! please excuse me...
-

Yeah, I snatched it up. I may use it instead of Construct 2.
-
if someone wants a team member I'm also available. you would get the prize. I can do graphics and writing and concept dev but I can't pick the theme, that would be cheating! the theme is gonna rattle ur skulls
-
hey it's earlier in the morning I think I'll enter this... Idk if I'll work alone or if anyone wants a team mate. Denzquix if you have no pardner or need another pardner... I do graffics and tuneZ/soundsfects... I just cannot do de program very well!!
-
gonna make something for this and it's gonna suck >:^o
Finally, someone who I can share the pessimism with. I'll join.
-
hi dicko...hi gods...!
i'd like to use gamemaker but i'm also gonna be on vacation during december so i'll have to use whatever Software i have access to at the time...big mysteries
-
i really should learn game maker or refresh myself on MMF2 in prep for the game jam but pff learning new things hahaha rpgmaker4lyfe

heck yeah..
here is an interesting thing re: rpg maker
https://easy-rpg.org/ (https://easy-rpg.org/)
i doubt it is at a stage in development to be used in jams but its worth keeping an eye on, at the very least, you can get your game running on linux...
-
To be able to sit in bed and play ABL on a tablet would be cool.
The one thing that I would be worried about is that some games used a whole number of keys for custom menu systems etc. I guess that player system would have to detect which ones are called in events and offer them up onscreen somewhere.
-
dddd The package containing my bootleg drawing tablet was waiting for me when I got home from Florida last night, so I'm in. If anyone wants to partner with me, let me know, but I think I can probably whip up something terrible all on my own.
-
i've been trying to figure out faucet for game maker so maybe if i have it figured out by then i'll make a shitty multiplayer game or something
(p.s. if anyone wants to help me out with faucet (http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=498062&st=0&p=3689365) tell me pls i'm not smart)
-
I've never used it nor heard of it. Thanks for letting me know of its existence though. I'll see if I can't learn it myself. If I get anywhere with it I'll try and help you out. (But I'm not the greatest teacher)
-

thanks! if you can understand it that's good enough for me hah. the only part i'm kind of confused on is the portion where you make things actually happen (like moving something or doing an action). i can set up the base server/client though.
-
I'm on the fence about this since I just decided I want to put some more work into my last jam entry to make it multiplayer and add a story mode.
If I'm feelin' up to it around December 21st, then I'll probably use HTML5/Javascript and ImpactJS.
Also, if any artists/music guys want a programmer and are willing to work with me then I would def be in. I want to work with other people with different skills than my own, and I suck at those things. I have experience with Unity3D if that helps (no pro version though).
-
Hi everybody
I like this community a lot and I would like to join. I'm registering and making this post now so I'll look bad if I try to withdraw later!
I've done a little bit of stuff in Game Maker but I might use Construct 2 for this instead. I like how Construct 2 lets you sort of collage images together--meanwhile i don't know how to do any game maker visuals except pixel art in their little editor. I'm not sure I know my own strengths and weaknesses well enough to offer to collaborate with anyone yet.
-
welcome 2 the salt mines, we'll have you set up with a soul contract by night's noon.
-
Consider me in.
I'd rather be able to focus of music but if I need to do more then SO BE IT. If anyone wants me on their team let me know. Here's a selection of my "portfolio" http://soundcloud.com/putridmoldyman (http://soundcloud.com/putridmoldyman)
-
l do this thing! I should have talent enough with my obscure, Japanese HTML5 game engine Enchant.js (http://enchantjs.com/) to whip something together. I even have a hand so I can draw some art assets!
I may even be able to whip together some sounds for the things though don't be surprised if some of you musical chaps get a message from me.
Also, since I am a fanboy: Hi Porp! I got Armada to work on my PC finally but have yet to find all of the crystals. I spent most of time ravaging the countryside before I got the chance. =B
-
hey thanks! you can find crystal in the graveyard....with the cracked stone....you can find crystal if you lead a monster to the tentacle woman...you can find crystal if you dance a lot....you can find crystal in the darkness out of the map (the swamp stones will tell you 4 crystal locations if you have the translator stone)....
-
whoa doggie, i'm a little excited. maybe even too excited. I think i'll work alone again as I am prone/afraid of maybe making commitments maybe like as in afraid to even be decisive about this fear, maybe. know what I mean.

yes.
-
I am totally in. If for nothing else, than to motivate me to get everything else I need to do before this jam starts complete so I can have a nice empty plate for some quality holiday game dev time.
I am very prepared to tackle this on my lonesome, but would love the chance to collaborate. Puppet Master is currently at the top of my "most want to collaborate with" list, if for no other reason than that I am confident enough in all my various talents to handle every aspect of the game making process outside of creating any sort of actual music for it. Having a collaborator wanting to focus just on that one aspect is pretty much ideal for me.
But yeah, I am cool with partnering with practically anyone. As long as I don't have to make music. I'm not going to lock down an answer for which language or engine I want to use until closer to the start, but I am familiar with a lot of them. (actually I am almost certain it will end up being something AS3 related anyhow, since it is what I almost always go with when it comes to any of my prior attempts at game creation)
-
I'll take that as a "we're a team," EvilDemonCreature.
-
hi
-
just letting you know... me and leafo are joining up for the jam... can our destructive forces be contained?? well yes probably
-
Christ almighty can we get on with this yet? The wait is killing me.
-
I was planning on making a warm-up game before the jam to test some things. if you're feeling antsy, that might be a good way to invest that energy
-
we should collabolaboratus
-
we should collabolaboratus
I'm down with this idea
-
i have work to do for real but i may invest a couple of days or something into rpgmaker just to share the same space as the luminaries in this thread / the saltw establishment in general and to actually have a single solo-developed game completed and under my belt which is something i've been lacking since forever
-
y'all know we'd be delighted to have you bort
-
i think S K U L L great,
i have S K U L L will be mine. :)
greeting friends, i will be using unity and if anyone wants to join me YOU CANNOT have SKULL.
-
(if a party w/ multiple members wins, I'll make sure everyone gets something nifty+dire, but there is only 1 Crowned S.K.U.L.L. Sovereign to be had, with a curse to match)
be warned, travellers...
-
I'll take that as a "we're a team," EvilDemonCreature.
Only reason I haven't responded till yet is because I was far too busy taking that as "we're a team, Puppet Master."
The intent was very clearly presented, it would feel too redundant to make exactly how I took that response explicit. It's not explicit that teams are restricted to pairs though, but things seem to be heading that general direction as it stands.
-
the quality of non-S.K.U.L.L. prizes will go down as team sizes get bigger, if a team wins the jam. I aint made of money... yet...

If anyone needs to make a small game while you wait for the Ｓａｌｔ Ｗｏｒｌｄ Ｗｉｎｔｅｒ Ｊａｍ, Ludum Dare is coming up inbetween now and then.
just FYI

Ok, I was just accepting your request to work with me in that response. I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at with the last part, but I look forward to working with you and anyone else if you want to include more people.

Well, I'm gonna participate! Let's hope I can make something playable!
(But the graphics are going to be awful. I can't draw. I'm very sorry but your eyes are going to hurt. And yes, first I posted this in the wrong topic. A beautiful way to start)

haha we are pretty anarchist here, I would not worry about "wrong places" 2 post
we also embrace a punk ethos in that we love things that are interesting, unusual, and subversive, rather than being focused on what is conventionally aesthetically pleasing (just look at the things we collect n celebrate in the dump topic)

Goblin here. Tried messing around in Unity for the first time ever because thecatamites told me about this jam. I've never used any other game software but I'm in love. Sadly I only got far enough to make an empty black room where a sprite jumps around on three separate platforms before work and holidays got in the way. I want to make an RPG with unity's new 2D setting, though! If anyone has experience with it or wants to just show me the ropes, please message me <3
