     Hey, some of you know about my *slight* game jam addiction. Well, I thought it would be cool to do something like that on here. Now I am aware of the fact that many (most) people do not participate in game jams, or the indie community, but what if any kind of art was allowed. 

     Suppose that we had it run for say.... a week, and at the end, the community voted on a winner. How does this sound to everyone? 

 

idea for the rules (subject to change)

 

1) all content must be created during the one week period

2) all content must be based in some way upon a theme, announced at the start of the jam. 

3) anyone can enter

4) anyone can submit to a community prize pool, and anything can be added. The prizes may be whatever the donor wishes (steam games, money, fan art, even joke prizes etc.) and may be assigned for any reason (ie. favorite submission, first place, last place, last place odd numbered submission that did not tie with another submission and is a prime number etc.)

5) this is for fun, SO HAVE FUN, DAMMIT!

6) be a good sport

7) any genre of art can be submitted, there are no restrictions as to what "art" is defined as

8) you may include as many pieces as you wish in your submission, but they will all be considered as a single entry (ie. make a gallery of images

 

 

So, what do you think of the idea? If people like it, I see no reason not to go ahead with it.

 

 

 

participants: 

Lando

idk

K J

The Robstar

NoDanico

Player Killer

 

Prizes:

-Idk will pledge a drawing of the vehicle of the winners choice (value: priceless)

 

-Lando will give steam keys for Waking mars, Night Sky and Mc Pixel on steam. Goes to first, second and third. First place gets gets first pick etc. (value: 25$)

 

 

To do:

Sort out full rules

make a sig banner (My visual art skills are lacking a bit, so if someone else could do this......)

[idk]

I'm up for it, and I'll even throw in a free drawing of a vehicle of (winners) choice for a prize (digital scan.)

 

I think if we get a large turnout, we should have winners for different categories.

 

written

poetry

sculpture

digital art

traditional art

stuff in that nature

Well, cool beans! We can set a date once.... say 10 people agree to participate!

[twa]

This seems real interesting.  Mind giving more details on how this will work? Cuss I've never really participated in one of these before, so I'm a bit lost. 

 

 

imanidiot.

[DeadChannel]

Well, the idea is that We set a start date, and at that time announce a theme.you must make your submission before a week from the start, and then We all vote on our favorites. Donated prizes will be given out to all parties.

great to see some interest! I will update op with everyone who wants to participate, when I get back on my pc.

[twa]

Oh alright, seems awesome. Count me in. 

[DeadChannel]

Great!

[The Robstar]

Very interesting. Count me in Scotty.

 

I probably won't submit a piece of music, let's try something different

I really like the idea of categories, but that's if enough people enter. 

 

Why not try promote it on other social networking sites? FB, twitter... other forums? lol

     Yeah, we'll see what the turnout will be like before we decide to use categorys. After all, if only 10 people enter, it makes not sense to have 1st place for each. Also, I will update OP with everything now.

     Also, great to see more participants! Wonder what you will make.........

 

     Oh, also, I will likely try to sort a steam game out as a prize. 

 

     And, what are everyone's opinions on having teams?

Hope you guys like nudity

 

I think teams for people who aren't confident on submitting something by themselves would be good

 

Steam game would be cool buddy.

[No-Danico]

Count me in. I like when we do stuff as a family.

 

Hope you guys like nudity

 

 

I'ma gonna draw so many catgirls!

Do eeeet!

 

 

yknow, for artistic reasons >w>

Sorry for not updating the list, just got back from camping.

 

Remember, this is an art jam, not a porn jam (although, we should totally have one of those too at some point XD)

 

Also, I think we should have someone who is not entering choose the theme. I don't really want any kind of advantage.

 

Speaking of, I love the idea of a pseudo-pixel art micro metroidvania type of thing. 

[twa]

porn jam 

Can this be a thing? I want this to be a thing.

[Affray]

Can this be a thing? I want this to be a thing.

Methinks it already is.

Think about it.

[DeadChannel]

annnyways, back on topic. Anyone else interested in participating?

[twa]

Think about it.

You're absolutely correct, Aff.

[Bowsette]

I would, but I can't 100% commit, or promise that I'd actually do anything.

[twa]

Not even for some sexy gay sex? Eh, eh?

Okay, can I still put you down, even if its not a for-sure esque thing?
