The theme is:
"LINKED"

Hello one and all, and welcome to the dawn of our first Wednesdevs game jam. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to complete a game in two weeks!

There is a theme. You do not have to follow it. It's there to guide you. It's also often said that constraints breed the best ideas!

Some quick points:

  • A "game" is whatever you decide it to be. It can be be a traditional platformer. It can be a point and click. It can be a visual novel, a text based choose your own adventure. A Minecraft mod, a Roblox game, a Mario Maker level. It could be a lil' boardgame you made. It could be a variant of tag you invented with your younger cousin. It could be a particularly fun way of lying down and having an existential crisis. Your call.
  • Make it in whatever you want
    Collaboration with other people, community members or not, is allowed and also encouraged.
  • If the end result is something you can share with us, I would highly encourage you to do so, even if you think it could be better. It could always be better. This is our curse.
  • No consequences will befall you if you fail. You can submit late. You can submit whenever. I just wanna encourage short cycles so you can get something done nice and early, and feel proud of yourselves.
    Very small games are not only OK, they're encouraged! Two weeks isn't a long time, and there's nothing wrong with a game you can pick up, complete in 20s, and never touch again
  • I would very highly encourage you to create an account on itch.io and host your game there. You'll build up a nice log of games in no time! Also that lets you submit to this event here

In addition to the main theme, which will generally be a more abstract one, I'll provide "diversifiers", or little secondary themes/challenges. These are optional, but sometimes fun!

Diversifiers:

  • Chocolate Chillies - Remake a classic game (eg: Pong, Snake) but put a small twist of your own on it!
  • Pintrest artist - You cannot create any art for your game. All art must be found somewhere on the internet (opengameart.org, stock photo websites, etc...)
  • Undelete button - Any text you write with the intention that a player sees it (dialogue, interface, the game's title) is final, cannot be edited, corrected or removed. If you wrote it, it must feature in your final game.
