We'd have to all have a compatible GM version, and I refuse to upgrade from 7, so I wouldn't be participating.

Charlie: Not necessarily. We can actually order people by preferred GM version. It can start GM7 just fine.

That sounds like great fun.

@luda, I hadn't considered that. I'm all game, I'm curious to see what a game filled with 20 different people's spriting and coding looks like. We should make it a point to incorporate a story through in-game dialogues, as long as the next person has no idea what the previous contributor was going for in terms of story direction.

If we can manage a clever, coherent story, I will personally buy everyone an imaginary pizza.

Also, tell us the goddamn theme!

ludamad 11 years, 8 months ago

Hmm. Story is a good idea. I'm worried the people starting out will have the least 'fun'. It may make sense to give the first few people a bit more time because of the scaffolding required, I'm not sure.

We can agree on a genre like eg top-down adventure-ish. I'm thinking top-down because it'd be easiest to add content in a variety of directions, without just being tempted to lob on extra levels and not work with what other people did.

I always liked a rotation game idea.

I also have thoughts on Toast's thoughts, but I'm too tired to type them down.

ludamads idea sounds fun, make it happen

So is the jam still happening or did the game-a-phone idea replace it completely?

Toast 11 years, 8 months ago

Um, it's still happening. Well, I'll be doing it, anyway.

Only one person can work on the game-a-phone project at a time, so I don't see it having any impact on this.
