Hiiiiii :3
Gizmo Jam 2 is a comfy jam unofficially hosted by the Acegikmo discord
It is designed for those without much time commitment who still wanna have some fun~
Discord:
Topic Theme:
The topic theme is: Collapse!
Who/what is collapsing?
When is it collapsing?
Has the collapse already happened or is it predicted for the future?
How big is the collapse?
Why does it collapse?
What is causing the collapse?
What is being done about the collapse?
The answers to these questions are all your choice.
Also the scale of the topic theme can vary as you please.
The theme of collapse can impact every game mechanic, every story line, and every piece of art in your game.
Or it can be the part of a joke in one dialog that didn't even make it into the final version of your game.
I hope you can take this theme how you wish to empower your creativity - not limit it.
Genre Theme:
Point & Click
What's the deal with two themes?
The topic theme is as you would normally expect for a game jam
The genre theme is announced beforehand so that people can create systems/templates/tools beforehand so that they can be able to focus just on making a game during the jam period
Judging:
No Rankings & Judging cause its more comfy this way
