Game Jam Winter Game Jam 3: Discussion

---

Welcome back to the Relic Castle Winter Game Jam! This is our third year of hosting a game jam during the winter (at least here in the northern hemisphere) and I'm proud to still be organizing! Can't wait to see what you'll make!

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.

Last year's winter jam broke forum records for amount of entries, and we're hoping to break more records this year! If you're interested in seeing what previous entrants have created, check out Fox's archive thread!

The Pokémon fan game community is an amazing place, and that's all thanks to each and every one of you. Take pride in that, and your hard work! Let's make this year's winter game jam a special one!

Discussion Thread

Welcome to the discussion thread! Here you can discuss the game jam, show progress off on your entry, get feedback on your entry, get hyped about other entries, and all that good stuff! Make sure you're only recruiting in the recruitment thread. If you need prompting, what do you think of the challenge this year?

Jam baby

Oh man, I wasn't really hyped for the Jam, but man did this thread change that. Awesome job on the mandatory plot points/character roles! That's a great twist! I think some of them might be a bit too 'sinple', but that leaves more room for some creative implementations. Not sure if I'll actually participate, but I wish everyone a lot of fun, and goo luck!! =D

If I decide to enter, does it have to be completely custom assets? I have an idea for what I would want to do.

You are welcome to use free to use assets or anything you create yourself (or your team creates) during the entry period!

Am I limited to only one key character and key plot point? If I focus primarily on one of each, but try to include some of the other ones in a more minor role, would that be okay? Like if I had a game focused on a neighbor but also have a professor in a very minor role, for example, would the professor having a minor role negatively impact the judges' review of the game?

Go ahead!

Anyone else hit a roadblock with their story? Let's just say I'm asking for a friend...

10 days left everyone <3

rm -r -f *
oh, whoops

5 days remaining, I need to hurry up!

Does anyone know the easiest method to upload a game but where people can't mess with the files?

jam is over when will the results be posted?
