WELCOME to the SPEEDGAME CHALLENGE OF 2020! Your goal is to create quick and fun games that focus on different aspects of Christian teaching while also stretching your game development skills. There are two jams, The Speedgame Classic, and coming soon, the Speedgame: Hardmode!

The Speedgame: Classic is the format you all know and love. From a pool of three different scriptural verses, your goal is to create a game that synthesizes the essence, teaching or story of that verse in a way that can be experienced in your game. Whether you focus that synthesis in your narrative, story, mechanics, art, or some other component is up to you. Be creative!

Verses are the following:

LUKE 19:10

JUDGES 21:25

GENESIS 50:20

The challenge starts at 6pm, May 8th, and will run until May 29th, culminating at 6pm. The voting categories are the following:

  • Best Christian Teaching
  • Most Fun (Gameplay)
  • Best Original Concept (Design)
  • Best Graphics (Visual)
  • Best Build (Stability)
  • Best Overall

You are encouraged to start a development blog in the community area of the jam so we can see your process!

Still working out Prizes, but there will be prizes! Stay tuned to this area for updates!

RULES:

  • Projects must be submitted by or before the deadline to qualify for prizes. No entries, patches, bug fixes, or edits of any kind will be allowed after the deadline. Please check your timezone to make sure you submit on time. Give yourself enough time to upload your entry.
  • Projects must list the resources they used and give credit, if resources were not created by you.
  • Teams must not be greater than three people.
  • All games must be created during the course of the challenge, not before.
  • It is encouraged that games be made open source at the end of the challenge to allow other developers to see the underpinnings of your projects. This way we foster an open community that builds each other up by sharing resources. If certain licenses of libraries or tools do not permit you to make them open source, then omit these. NOTE: This only applies to the challenge game, not to any later revisions or iterations that you make to your game, in case you decide to continue work on the game, for example.
  • Some criteria must be met:
    • Games must not contain any extremes of the following: violence, sexual content, occult practices, or language. Use restraint.
    • Games must not breach any copyright laws. No plagiarism or taking other’s work as your own!
  • Any tools you can leverage for this challenge can be used.
  • You can reuse any libraries you may have previously created such as graphic, keyboard, or sound routines. Regarding libraries in general, if any are necessary to play your game, please add them as part of the zip or installation file so others do not have to go hunting down ways to play your game.
  • Please make your games playable in any of the following environments: Windows 7/8/10, Mac/Linux, Web
  • Games must include instructions on how to play your game such as controls and how the game works. A quick readme file, or in-game tutorial outlining the controls and general background information would be useful!
