Thursday game jam ideas?

 

Game concept jam

Create an unlikely mixture of two game genres.

The protagonist must be an inanimate object.

 

Here's a Jamboard

 

Provide the following:

  1. Game title
  2. Storyline
  3. Explanation of gameplay
  4. Sketch of main character
  5. Sketch of game environment

 

 

Schedule for this week

Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri
Game genres

Design Team meetings
Highlight: game design careers

Design Team meetings
World Domination Game jam day (both programs)
1:30–2:30 pm

[Small group meeting: 12:00–12:45 p.m.]
Final deadline for finished projects and materials for your sites

 

Game Jam

There will be a new Google Meet link today so that both programs can be in the same meeting. I'll post the link in both Classrooms and Gmail.

 

Recommendations:

  • Quick introductions, including what aspect of game design you prefer
  • Come up with a team name, but quickly! You can use an online team name generator, like this, or this
  • Use the Jamboard or Discord to quickly offer ideas
  • NO IDEAS ARE TOO RIDICULOUS FOR A GAME JAM
  • Coders: create quick placeholders for sprites, but use descriptive names
  • Keep the group meeting room open!
  • COMMUNICATE with your group: what you are doing, and how close you are to finishing

Finishing the term

All completed work is due by end-of-day, Friday.

This includes Design Team games, and evidence/documentation of your own personal work.

After Friday, the Promotions (websites) will be shared to both Game Design programs, and Rosy will be sharing them as part of the summer term promotions for ASM in general.

 

Submitting your final project

One person from each Design Team can submit the finished team project.

Include:

  1. The title of your project
  2. A brief statement about your project
      (such as: what inspired it, or something that would be good for the player to know about your concept before playing)

 

Submitting more personal work for your website

Please send me whatever you can—I would love to have your page loaded up with stuff before these sites are shared publicly.
