Game Jam Commencement
Hello, MelonJam 2 has officially started! We are extremely excited to see what all of you are going to create!
As we mentioned last week, the theme of the game jam is Cross Life. There are many interpretations and we encourage you to be creative, but here are a few ideas to get started (you are by no means limited to these!):
- Having a player's actions affect multiple worlds simultaneously and allow the user to switch between them
- A game where the user controls two characters on screen whose moves are linked with one another
- An evolution based game where you breed certain animals and try to create the strongest creature
Feel free to dm a host on Discord if you're not sure your idea meets the theme!
As a few general reminders, you are allowed to work in teams of up to 4 and submissions must be made by 6:00 PM PST on July 25th. You are NOT permitted to use code or assets that you made beforehand, but feel free to use open source libraries, game engines, and assets that are publicly available.
If you have any questions about the MelonJam 2 or need help with game development, please feel free to ask in #help on our Discord or post on the discussion forum! We wish you all the best of luck.
