Game Jam Winter Game Jam 2: Discussion

Welcome back to the Relic Castle Winter Jam! I'm Cat, the ever gracious host, back again for another Winter Game Jam!

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.

With the success of last year's game jam, we decided to bring it back this year. Thanks to the pandemic and real life getting in the way, we pushed it back a couple of weeks. But we're here again! Last year's twist was a required map, I wonder what this year's challenge will be?

Repeating my sentiments from last year, 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 game jam a special one!

Cat's post on the overview says that "You're welcome to make minor changes to the graphics, as long as each is still recognizable." I'd guess just like colorswaps and the like?

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE DOES!!!

Good luck to everyone, joined after learning of this, and might attempt a solo entry who knows?

Sadly the Winter Game Jam 2 has already finished on March 14th, there can't be any new entries for this Jam.

HOWEVER! On June 30th, Relic Castle's Game Jam 7 will start, in which you can participate in! Look forward to the Overview thread which will detail all of the rules for GJ7! (One of the rules will be that you must include all resources that you have made for the Jam, yes. Also, do be aware that you can't enter with a project you've started development before the start of the Jam.)
