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. All participants will receive a badge! Badges are created by hiddenone. Stay turned for the sneak peak! You may use any resource you hold a license for. Do not use resources that infringe on copyrights or trademarks. Do not use AI. Due to the prizes carrying a cash value, ensure your resources are available for commercial use. You MUST include all credits and adhere to all copyright and licensing requirements. You may withdraw your submission. You may also update until the deadline date and time. Community conduct standards still apply. Violence and mature themes should not overly exceed a PG-13 standard. Judges reserve the right to disqualify an entry for any reason deemed necessary One submission per member.

And you think the judges have played other jam games across years? :unsure:

But yes, if you're only interested in the jam if you think there's a chance you'd win, I agree you're too late to start working on anything.
made one in 5 days, not too worried about time, I'm terribly good at not taking care of my health during gamejams, the thing is I guess I have good enough material already, but can't find a good idea to build something with it.

OH! why, thank you george!!! im kinda surprised i missed the literal video of theme6 in the original post even though i've read it entirely when it first got posted XDD maybe i recalled incorrectly and it was always there-
hold on- gotta give it a listen :kaosalute:

Edit: okay so- with ears slightly bleeding- i can see what you guys have been talking about- it legit feels like a needle of sound drilling my ears instead of sound actually surrounding it, the "but it doesnt hurt" version is exactly how i invision it, much nicer XDDDD

Because you use XP, it's the default title music for MV. I have no idea what XP's music sounds like, either.

Has everyone else been making good progress?
I've been mega productive for the past two weeks!:kaoluv: Almost a dozen pinups, tons of great ornament work, and some fantastic landscapes - none of it related to this jam AT ALL. Procrastination is a terrifying force and I love it! :wub

Work has finally slowed down enough for me to actually do something again. I don't have the time left to do my original idea, but I'm hoping inspiration will strike for something very small.

I found out about this jam yesterday, and already spend a single day fixing the elevator and the spooky lightning effects... I'll do my best to make it before the deadline. I have a few free days left... (Well, free is an over statement...)

I believe they have a thread up. You could also leave it on the itch page.
