This is a thread to plan out a possible GW Jam in the distant future. I’m thinking during a weekend / four days sometime Midjune to Midjuly would work best for me but I’m open to any suggestions you might have.

Should we do a theme? Other kinds of restrictions?
Let me know what you think.

I think a game jam would be a great idea. Got any ideas of what the theme is or if there is a theme? We should brainstorm a bit.

I’m think a beach or ocean theme might be a cool theme for the summer.
We could also bring back [Release Something] which started on GamingW and became a yearly thing on
RPGMaker.net before it closed.

I think that sounds like a cool idea. I like the beach and ocean theme would be cool, make a game that involves the sea in some way, leaves a lot of options open for everything from pirates, fishing or even physics based puzzles.

Most days between 4 PM and 8 PM, though I might be out sometimes.

Do you think I should do 5 days or a month? What timeframe is most manageable to make a game?

I like to do shorter jams myself but I’m curious to see what works best for others.

So I’m thinking July 11 to July 14 for this one. Any objections?
