Charas Game Club
« on: June 12, 2014, 07:34:54 PM »

Welcome to Charas Game club; a month long game jam.

From Friday the 13th of June to Sunday the 6th of July we'll be jamming up games. You won't have to spend the whole month jamming if you don't feel like it or don't have time. Take a week, weekend, day, hour or minute.
There won't be any limit to the number of games you can submit; make a deep rich rpg maker game or a series of small high score based mini-games, it's all up to you.

Once the month is up I figured we could take all the finished games and create Charas Game Bundle (#1). We'll take a screenshots write a sentence or two about each games and post them with download link as a news post on the main site. (Haven't checked this with mods/admins but hope it won't be a problem).

Feel free to use whatever you like to make your game. It's okay to reuse code, graphics and other resources you made in the past (and other peoples resources as long as you have their permission). Heck, if you got an old unfinished game lying around feel free to dust it off and finish it now.

As any good jam we will be having a theme. Following the theme won't be strictly enforced feel free to do your awesome game idea or finish up that old game project without having to cram in the theme. It's there for inspiration and sparking ideas.
The theme:
History


If you need some inspirations/motivations/something to watch while eating here some talks about making games:
Why Being Poor and Having No Budget is Good For Making Game
The 4 hour game design Part 2 Part 3
Juice it or lose it



So lets have some fun and make some games! Also feel free to post screenshots, progress reports etc. in this thread as the jam goes on to keep it interesting.

(Also posting it in All of all instead of the contest board cause do anyone really check those boards anymore?)

Sounds good! Sign me up. I still got that Infection RI game I was working on using AS3, I'll re-develop it in Unity using the 2D options to both make a game and learn how to work in it!

I just started learning how to use Unity, so if I can use that, I'm totally down.

Hell Yeah! Just recovered all my old rm2k/3 games from my 10 year old, broken laptop hard drive that had been formatted and had a new OS installed on it. Oh, and I did all of this from my phone. WIN

I'm still in the process of making my game. Once I finish I'd love to join in on this jam.

Okay so the contest thingy is on. History is the theme and I failed to make gravity in gamemaker once more.

I've never completed a game... I might try this time though, if I have a time limit, I might actually get around to it.

Noob question, but: what's a good source for VX ace tilesets? The Steam workshop is pretty dry.

I'm in, which is annoying because I already have a platformer on the go but I'll try and make something...

EDIT: Oh, saw the 'dust off' thing : p Yeah I'll make a polished version of what I have so far with my platformer! That'll be fun!

Darn it looks like I'm going to miss out. I would do one, but maaan...the Chain Game has me sapped of any game making energy other than tiny little modifications to code. @-@ Ah it's likely not work out anyway. I would have done a Charas Pre-History game XD And had it based on my own ideas. Ah well.
