Hello there! It’s finally happening: the third edition of our popular Adventurous Game Jam, in which we sit down to produce cool narrative games during two weeks using Unreal Engine. Past editions included crowd-pleasing gems such as Sacrificial Lighthouse and Partum Artifex. And just like last year, the winner gets a prize of $1000! What are you waiting to join?!

Remember that the primary hub of activity will be our Discord community at https://discord.gg/senscape, but we’ll stay in touch in this board as well. So feel free to introduce yourself and connect with other devs here, or perhaps show us what you’re working on. Theme voting starts later this week! 😄

Good luck! ✨

Final livestream confirmed for Wednesday 22, 5PM GMT on http://twitch.com/senscape!

And… it’s a wrap! 💥

Please note that the final stream to announce winners and prizes has been pushed for a few days, given the extraordinary number of games that were submitted (including very lengthy ones!).

We’ll announce the new date shortly, but the wait won’t be much longer.

Hello all! We have decided to extend the submission deadline for just a little bit as some of the uploads are taking too long.

Good luck in these final tense moments! 💪

Hello there!

Please note that we have shuffled our dates a little bit. Training will occur on Wednesday 24, Thursday 25 and Friday 26 at 6PM GMT on https://www.twitch.tv/senscape. The topics will be:

• Gameplay Framework // Agustín Cordes
• Sequencer: Production Workflow // Tais Sofía Sztrum
• Game Interfaces with UMG // Agustín Delger

We have compelling content ready to share with you! See you soon!

Hey community! If you want to participate or keep an eye on the results, come to http://discord.gg/senscape where the voting is happening (#jam-schedule-rules-documents). These are the choices that people are voting for:

1️⃣ “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” –Edgar Allan Poe

2️⃣ “He who can destroy a thing, can control a thing.” –Frank Herbert

3️⃣ “Memories and possibilities are ever more hideous than realities.” –H. P. Lovecraft

4️⃣ “I lost some time once. It’s always in the last place you look for it.” –Neil Gaiman

5️⃣ “The only questions that really matter are the ones you ask yourself.” –Ursula K. Le Guin

Interesting, eh? One of these literary quotes will become the theme of our jam 😄

We’ll be posting a proper schedule soon. And yes, small teams can join, even a single person :)

Hi there, Sasha! Well, the focus of the training will be on 3D, but Unreal most definitely supports 2D as well, and we could point you in the right direction during that week of pre-production. In fact, two of the major games in our previous jam were 2D, for example Sacrificial Lighthouse: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1468220/Sacrificial_Lighthouse

Also, we’ll be providing support in our Discord community as well – it’s a good place to ask about this: https://discord.gg/senscape

Draw the stuff? What do you mean? 🤔

Here’s a quick list with all the useful links and stuff happening in the jam. Remember that Discord is our main hub of activity, but feel free to get in touch here on itch.io if you need it!

• Discord community: https://discord.gg/senscape

• Project plan submission (Google form): https://forms.gle/Rm1JhQwrntpzXstJA

• Team sheet (careful, it’s publicly editable!): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FO-mqd-nrscp_vKY5YA4dN1CoWKhApWWA_8sVPFZyL0/edit?usp=sharing

• Unreal Engine Live Lesson, Pt. 1: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/741941304

Thank you very much, fixed it!

Hi there! Are you on Discord? If you’re having troubles connecting with other devs, we have a dedicated channel to find a team: https://discord.gg/senscape

You could also take a look at our editable team sheet and add yourself (please be careful when you make an edit!): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FO-mqd-nrscp_vKY5YA4dN1CoWKhApWWA_8sVPFZyL0/edit#gid=0

So we came up with the following options –rather vague quotes by famous writers– to inspire you! Our Discord community is deciding which one will be the main theme of the jam. Here they are:

• “When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow.” —Ursula K. Le Guin

• “Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.” —Carl Sagan

• “Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” —Lewis Carroll

• “I am at home among the trees.” —J.R.R. Tolkien

• “It’s supposed to be automatic, but actually you have to push this button.” —John Brunner

We have decided that the theme won’t be “enforced” by the rules, meaning that if you’re already developing an idea, then feel free to stick with it. However, we will ask you to include a reference to the theme to some extent in your game, even if it’s just an easter egg.

Hop over to https://discord.gg/senscape to cast your vote!

Please note that the upcoming livestream next Tuesday will take place at 6PM Greenwich Mean Time. The URL is: http://twitch.tv/senscape

See you there!

Hi all! So the primary hub of activity for this jam will be our Discord community at https://discord.gg/senscape, but that doesn’t mean we’ll neglect this message board. We’ll be keeping an eye on this section and be around to answer all your inquiries about the jam.

Feel free to introduce yourself and connect with other devs here, or perhaps show us what you’re working on. We’re looking forward to playing your games! 😊
