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.

And if you read back a few pages, everybody is talking about creative ways to interpret these kinds of themes.

Nah I agree with what that Sore Eczema guy said

I guess there are game ideas beyond arbitrarily limiting colours. But it's a bit vague

Acid 10 years, 7 months ago

It's vague on purpose. I made this competition to plant the seeds of game development and encourage people to buckle down and make something awesome.

Looking good Spectre.

EVERY BODY NEEDS TO START STREAMING NOW.

Edit: Also, I wrote a thing.

Everyone seems to be posting compo blogs, is this mandatory or do people just do it for fun?

just for fun i believe

hey acid, how limited is a limited palette? :3

Yaru, it'd be more like if the theme were just "two buttons".

There's plenty of room for creativity with a theme like "two buttons", you don't have to automatically jump to the conclusion that it means that the game must be controlled with two buttons. You could, for instance, make an air hockey game where there's two oversized clothes buttons instead of a puck.

It's all about how imaginatively you can twist the interpretation of the theme. :)
It's however you interpret it~

As limited as you want to be. It can also be game play mechanics or whatever you want it to be. Just make something. :D

I like the idea of taking the theme as NOT LITERAL as possible.

Now I feel as though I'm being held to some kind of standard. Please don't expect me to make anything worthwhile I can't handle the pressure.
