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.

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!

There wouldn't happen to be a discord or community space where everyone's talking progress on the spooky jam would there?

@Timespiraled_RPG not to my knowledge. The forums don't have a discord, and I didn't start one, so unless someone else did and didn't invite me, I think it's a no.

The thread's great but it's not the same as a live discussion platform for sharing progress.

We did, but we didn't want any GGG spies in the server.

Been spending the last, like, two hours trying to draw a car.
I eventually gave up and started editing and drawing over a stock photo, but I'm pretty sure that's only made things worse.

Am in the process of creating a walking sprite for a combat suit.
I keep mumbling to my self "I only need the front-facing idle, don't work on the rest, I only need the front-facing idle..."

It definitely instills a sense of horror, which I guess is appropriate for the challenge? :wink: :guffaw:

But then how would you incorporate your work into your other projects?!

What does a count as building?

If you have something in mind and you're not sure whether it applies (like @werzaque with a spaceship), wouldn't it be easier to just ask specifically? :stickytongue:

If we assume that my body is a temple, can I make a jam game about the horrors inhabiting my gut? :kaoswt:

...No?

^^ and, even if you’re joking, that’s the exact creativity that could be crazy good if done well.

wait- let her cook.

That might solve the issue! Eating undercooked food can turn your body into a horror film, for sure.

I'm going to be entering the jam, should be fun! It's been a loooong time since I've entered a game jam. In fact, the last one I did was exactly 10 years ago for a different Halloween-themed jam. Good luck everyone!

Going faster than initially expected.
