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.

My playlist of spooky films, games, music, and books just keeps growing so probably working through that.

Progress has been going suspiciously quick and suspiciously smooth.

So my hard drive is probably going to implode or something, if my track record of luck is anything to go by.

(Nice tileset btw)

If it helps, you could go to a website like https://wheelofnames.com/ , and put in a bunch of types of buildings(House, Office, Hospital, etc.) and just let it choose from them for you.

Oh yeah, I forgot about randomizing buildings with something like that. I think the thought cropped once before. XD

New OCs for my game.

I went a bit overboard with the game design--even though it's very simple. But hopefully I can make it in time. Good luck everyone participating!
