Event - Spooky Month Game Jam! 2024

Ms Littlefish · 2024-09-28T06:06:14+0900

Hosted by @TRIDIUM , co-hosted by Ms Littlefish Judged by TRIDIUM, Ms Littlefish, and @hiddenone (unless we scare her off) October is a great month. Fight me in the comments. Not only does Halloween happen in October, the bugs start to die…at least in the Northern Hemisphere. You may begin working on your projects once this announcement has been made public. Submission Dates: Oct 21st - Oct 28th, 11:59PM EST (Oct 29th 4:59AM UTC) Winners announced: Nov 3rd. The prompt is “haunted building.” The goal for this jam is to create a compact, atmospheric, and of course spooky~ game centered around a haunted building within a month. It could be the classic haunted house, but try and get creative! What places scare you the most? What does “spooky” even mean? Think eerie, mysterious, strange, uneasy, and supernatural. The art of spookiness is intrigue. We’d love classic monsters! Ghosts, witches, undead, ghouls, and even cryptids! You name it! Spooky can often take a lighter or even humorous tone compared to horror, so no need to shy away from whimsy~ if that’s your preference! Your project must be 30 minutes or less of gameplay for the average play through. Open to any Makers published in the KOMODO store. You must have the rights to all materials used. Gameplay: How fun, balanced, and functional is the game play? Visuals: How good are the visuals and how well do they contribute to the spooky atmosphere? Audio: How good is the audio and how well does it contribute to the spooky atmosphere? Story and Writing: Is the prompt of “haunted building” used well? Creatively? How well does the writing lend to the art of spooky? Spookiness: Then. Naturally. How spooky~ is the game? How atmospheric is the game and how excited does it make us for Halloween? There will be a second thread opened for submissions. Do not submit before the submission times or to this thread! Please use one of the following sources: Google Drive Dropbox Itch.io 1st place: $20 of KOMODO DLC of your choosing and an exclusive badge. 2nd place: $10 of KOMODO DLC of your choosing and an exclusive badge. 3rd place: $10 of KOMODO DLC of your choosing and an exclusive badge.

If I could figure out this *one* thing, it's possible I can release something in time. It seems my creativity only works when I sleep in the form of dreams, though. XD

@TRIDIUM @Ms Littlefish
I just completed unjanking the project (or so he thinks!) Do I need to report somewhere if the files have been updated, or will you just do all the downloads on the 29th?

@LunarSpire_ can't seem to download your game as Chrome says that Windows Defender found a virus...

Was ready to release the game with the latest bugs fixed... and then my daughter tests the game and finds another way to play that completely ruins the gameplay concept.

This jam is haunted, that's for sure. :kaodes:

Hi @alice_gristle. Just played your game (not finished yet) with my daughter before going to bed... and now she can't sleep anymore. As far as the spooky atmosphere is concerned, it's already a great success, really. :kaojoy:

Thanks, others have managed to download your game successfully but my Defender seems to be picky? Really weird.
