What is a MASHUP you ask? It's quite simple really; you take two different things that usually don't go together and MASH 'EM UP to make something AwEsOmE! Like peanut butter and bacon or bears with bee wings (bumble bears, I guess?!) So I was thinking it'd be fun for a game jam with MASHUP as the main focus!

Rules are simple, once the theme is revealed; make a game that combines two (or more things) from the main theme. So, for example; if the theme is VEHICLES, you could make a funky shoot-em-up that involves a half-motorcycle half-unicorn hybrid that has a chainsaw for a horn (I dunno, crazy stuff like that... ya know, use your wild and crazy imagination!) I hope that makes sense! Basically just take different things from the theme and put'em together in a game! Work solo or in a team, all game dev software allowed (yes even RPG Maker ♥) Feel free to use premade assets (like from opengameart.org) just make sure you follow the guidelines for the assets you use! Anyway, this is really just a silly idea for a jam and I'm not even sure if it will turn out that good... but most of all don't be afraid to try something totally crazy and don't forget to have fun!!!
▶ TʜEᴍE◀
The "theme" will be revealed at the beginning of the jam!
▶ SᴄOʀIɴG ◀
All participants who submit a game get to vote on the submissions!
The categories for scoring are as follows:
- MASHUP - How well did your two (or more) different things mesh together in your MASHUP. Is it a perfect match?!
- VISUALS - Graphics, atmosphere, overall look and aesthetic of the game
- AUDIO - Sound effects, music, all audible aspects of the game (basically the visuals for your ears!)
- POLISH - Although, for any game jam this is to be taken lightly but it's always nice to see a game that is well-crafted
- FUN FACTOR - Because if it isn't fun... why bother?! ;)
▶ GʀAɴD PʀIᴢE ◀
The grand prize winner will get $500 (depending on how much is in my paypal account the the time, I might have to pay in monthly $100 for 5 months!)
