64D Spring Competition Info Blog

Posted by Acid on Feb. 22, 2014, 9:10 p.m.

I want to keep an open communication between myself and all of you for the duration of the initial setup and execution of the 64Digits Spring Competition. I'm going to be using this as a sort of training grounds for the full on GAME JAM I'm going to be hosting later this year, OHJAM (which is a separate entity from this competition).

Let me know if you have anything to add or have any questions on anything!

I respond better to facebook or twitter messages.

64DSC is cancelled. You can all go home now.

April Fools.

I had to do at least one… But I tried to make it obvious. :P

Edit: Don't worry, I promise I won't pull anything else on you guys. I just never get a platform like this! :P

I'll be streaming at around 10PM UTC. An 'end of day' stream, basically. Might use Chronolapse to make a timelapse of the rest of the day though :P

I was contemplating that Spectre, but I wasn't sure. I'll move them up a bit further! :D

Streamed a bit. Managed to fix a bug that's been haunting me for ages, through sheer brute force.

Stream archive is here if anybody wants a peek:

I stumbled upon some inspiration today. Wrote it down quick before it vanished. I think I'm on to something. Now I just need to actually make it.

Weird theme. Pixel art pretty much demands a limited colour palette, and it's hard to do a limited colour palette without pixel art. And it doesn't really give you any indication of the gameplay, which is probably why people chose it, so they can make whatever they were planning to make anyway.

The theme is pixel art in disguise…

I like to think that you don't actually have to draw everything with a limited colour palette to use it as a theme. Underneath the theme poll it also said:

The theme is just for fun and inspiration - it is optional.
