Game Jam Winter Game Jam 2020: Discussion

A new Game Jam approaches?!
January 10, 2020 - February 21, 2020

Game Jam channel in the Relic Castle Discord!​

Welcome to Relic Castle Winter Jam! My name is Andy/Niall/Cat/whatever you want to call me, and I'll be your ever gracious host! It might only be winter in the upper hemisphere but I'm American so I can name this whatever I want.

For the uninformed: a game jam is an event where developers will get together and make a game. It sounds simple at first glance, but making a good game is much more difficult and time consuming than you might think. Participating in one is a great way to challenge yourself, learn new skills, and polish your overall experience as a game developer.

While we always host an annual game jam over the summer, we thought it would be fun to host one in the off-season this year to test the waters and see what happens! Users (especially in the Discord server (you should join us!)) have been begging for an event during the winter so they don't have to wait until June/July for the next game jam. We hope you enjoy the twist we added for this game jam!

Fingers crossed once the end of the 21st comes we get at least lucky number 7 amount of entries! So many cool projects to see and I want to see more! :0

 

[Droid779]

Should I just post an empty map as an entry to get 7 then?

I hope we do a map theme game jam again; this was so creative, challenging (in a good way) and so much fun!

Hey guys, I made a badge for the jam!!
Even if badges don't come back it should be a no-ice memento.
Its been a nice and tiring month of development after all.
