edit 12/21/2013: the http://saltworld.net/forums/topic/14228-sw-jam-winter-2013/]jam is commenced![/url]
still, feel free to talk here
 
 
 
hi ho, salt pals and newcomers alike! I'm Neuropath.


  and I'm Tiny's First Pepsi! and together we're hosting...



the 2013 winter salt game making jam!



 
this here's the second in what we hope is gonna be a seasonal game jam tradition!

  we had us some real good entries last fall, from game jam vets and complete novices alike!




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!

y'all can use helpful software like twine, klik 'n play, gamemaker, and adobe flash, OR you could make it all from scratch!

the gamemaking begins on DEC 21st! At that time, the official thread will be posted, and it will explain...






there ain't hard rules we're gonna hold anyone to.  you can even work with others!

  BUT...! there are some wicked rad themes that will be posted on the commencement thread.

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!

so, are you SALT ENOUGH TO MAKE GAME?






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!



*wolf whistle* I'm in love already ~ <3


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!





newcomers, get yourself a saltw account and introduce yourself here!

while you're at it, see some of the cool salt sights and spectacles.

like what you see? then consider yourself welcomed to our humble little secret society.

for newcomers and old salts alike, now's the time to announce your intention to join!

and maybe tell us a little about what tools you might want to use!
 
 


this thread's a great place to find team-mates, or just to chill out and soak up the salt environment

and spread the word!  #swjam it from twitter, whisper it to yr friends in the dead of night

shout it from rooftops and tie messages to yr pets and release them to the streets! let the world know, come winter...

   it's time to JAM
 
Dec 21st, Midnight GMT.  Be ready.  It comes... for you!

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.

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
semper games.

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??????????

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
 
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!
