TOGETHER BREAKFAST
"I don't think I can eat this."
"Let's order a pizza."
"It did try to kill us."
-- The Crystal Gems
Too many cooks can lead to a real kitchen calamity. And if you jam too many entities into your engine, there's the risk it becomes sentient... or just buggy. In the last two years, we've all grown and changed: Here we are in the future. What's it like? The theme for this 2022 Online Narrative Game Jam is Together Breakfast. If you've ever started making a game or cooking a meal that tried to eat you, this is the game jam for you. Remember, it's dangerous to go to a Denny's alone.
RULES
This is an unranked game jam, overlapping with the NarraScope 2022 Online Conference. (This is a volunteer-driven game jam. It is neither sponsored nor endorsed by NarraScope.)
There are no requirements on what tools may be used, or genres, formats, and no limitations on prior work. Submissions are open for two weeks, but we encourage participants to think of expected output as if this were a 48 hour game jam. There are only two hard requirements for submissions:
1. You must collaborate with at least one other person.
OR
2. Your entry must be playable with more than one person.
RESOURCES
Some tools the community uses, but by no means an exhaustive list:
- Twine
- Inform7
- Bitsy
- ChoiceScript
- Ink
- RenPy
- Undum
- Seltani (multiplayer by default)
- Federation2 (a formerly commercial, recently open-sourced MUD)
- ifMUD (technically any text game is multi-player if you play with Club Floyd)
Submissions are due for exhibition by the end of the day (narrator's time) Monday, August 1st.
