I'm interested in shadowing a team to get a feel for the game design process, so if any teams want an intern, my off hours are available.  I'm a software developer by trade, but I have relatively little game programming experience, so I don't know if I have enough to offer in that department. I'm willing to learn and discuss, of course.

This sounds like an excellent reason to spend all day tomorrow adding scripting and sprite support to my engine. So team Just Gotta Finish My Engine First might be a thing. Might. (It's probably just going to be team My Engine Barely Works.)

You're probably still getting the resolution and lack of audio though. And there probably won't be GPU-acceleration. Or physics. Input may or may not be a temporary hack. We'll see how far I get before the 8th. I'm hoping I won't have to spend most of the jam-time adding basic engine functionality. I guess that might be half the fun of it though. Worst-case scenario, can I submit a half-finished engine with no game in it as a kind of meta-commentary on the nature of jam-games? I'm pretty sure that would fit into all three potential themes pretty well. (Ok, I'll stop being silly and get back to coding now.)

Not sure how this would be a meta-commentary on gamejams, since it's probably quite unusual to roll your own engine for gamejams, and using WIP engines seems sortof awkward.

I coded a custom graphics engine for my game during the July jam using C and OpenGL. It took weeks of coding before actually getting to the game designing part. However it's definitely rewarding for learning at a very low level how video games work. There are advantages to making your own engine in terms of flexibility and optimizing for what is important in your game, and you have to get creative in designing a game that overcomes the limitations of your own engine. If I have the time, I plan on going the same route with this jam.

I've dabbled a few times into the Awful GameDev challenges in the past. If you are looking for music, I may be your guy. Soudcloud site: https://soundcloud.com/j-r-trimpe Professional site: http://trimpe.org Professional musician. Scoring for band is orchestra is what I do for a living. Done a couple small indie games and short films as well. Occasionally known to rock the funk out from time to time. I also love roast beef.

That said, to set your expectations, I wont spend too much time on this jam, since I'm on parental leave. Will mostly code during late nights and baby naps. Should have a WIP/prototype of whatever the chosen theme is within a few days after the jam starting, and will send you a message then if you want to contribute,

I participated in the last two SAGDCs and loved the heck out of it, but don't know if I'll have time for this one. I started writing this post then re-downloaded and installed GMS so I guess I'm gonna do my best to submit something. Yay!

Just a heads up, we'll be streaming out the theme announcement / Jam kickoff in a few hours. Probably around 12pm Central, I'll send out a Tweet when we have a concrete time (I'm still editing the video). We'll go live at the top of the hour. https://www.twitch.tv/sagamedev Calipark fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Jan 8, 2016 |

 Almost time.Still no idea where to start. Debating between... Netflix and Chill: The Game. Ms PacMan has to avoid  for the duration of a film. Eat popcorn. Carry-out cherries.Short, Sweet, and to the Point: Cooking Ramsay. Tinder, for cakes. Randomly generated cakes which you swipe left to disapprove and right to approve. Maintain your culinary integrity.

Like, I wanna give this a shot, but GOD drat do my all-around skills feel... lacking. Like, I could probably throw up something in a VN maker and have it go all text or something. I dunno. Or I could pitch ideas against dev's heads and see what sticks.

Oooh, Chill, eh? Well, I'm not too busy with work for the next few weeks, so I'd be happy to offer my skills as a composer (and possibly SFX designer, but don't count on it). Almost everything I write is chill. If you don't believe me, take a look at my SoundCloud, and my work on Impulse. Smooth jazz, fusion, downbeat disco and house. Chill is my element. I hang out in the IRC a whole bunch, so just yell at me if you like what you hear (you can also just PM me or call me out in the thread, I'll be checking it pretty consistently). I can probably write some goofy Sleigh Ride rip-off if you want that, though.  (I'm currently joined up with Ultigonio fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Jan 9, 2016 |

drat, if this was in December I could have given it a go but with the global game jam at the end of the month and me needing to write my thesis I'm not going to have time for this one  Next time!I'm looking forward to seeing what people do with the theme though.

I'm pretty set on making a mobile friendly spell casting wizard game. I like the idea of swiping a sequence, like a phone password, to cast spells. I'm still kicking around themes though. Maybe Weed Wizard, where you have to maintain the perfect amount of weed, heat, and cool water in a bong for a parade of sweet wizard buddies. Edit: Yeah, party wizard is going down
