The jam has ended!

And by the number of votes, John McDonald is the winner! Congratulations to everyone who participated in the jam! See you next time, sometime during late Spring.

Please review all posted answers and upvote the games that you like! Voting will end on Sunday, the 9th of February.

Note: We have extended the jam's duration by a day, due to timezone issues.

We've decided that the winter GameJam will take place between Jan 31 5 PM and Feb 3 5PM UTC time.

The Jam has started. Post your games as answers to this question. Submission deadline for your timezone

The Theme is "Time is Broken"

The rules --------- Mostly similar to those used in the previous jam, with a couple of differences.

  • Participants are allowed to write games for any platform.
  • All publicly available libraries and middleware are allowed. All publicly available creation tools (e.g. Photoshop or 3DS Max) are
    allowed.
  • The entrant is allowed use any premade assets as long as they're freely available on the web and the licenses allow them to be used in an open source project (e.g. opengameart.org).
  • Assets created by the entrant during the game jam may also be used.
  • The forming of teams is not allowed.
  • Each entrant may ask questions on the main gamedev.stackexchange site, as long as the questions are on-topic as per normal site rules. Alternatively, the chatroom may also be used.
  • Each entrant must release their game as open source after attaching a license of their choice.

The two voting questions that I have opened have been answered:

Out of Time

Play Now *works best in Chrome (CraftyJS may throw an exception in FF, sorry)

Arrow keys or WSAD to move. No other controls. Sound isn't required, but it gives you audio queues and is really helpful.

I don't want to say too much else because you need to figure it out yourself.

Source

BitBucket Mercurial Repository

Made using CraftyJS, Tiled Map Editor, Tiled Map Builder for CraftyJS, and all sorts of art from OpenGameArt.org:

Gear pickups were replaced post-jam by a friend of mine: Landon Deren. The gear pickup sound was created using as3sfxr

I created two original pieces: The "bones" sound, and the "wake up" sound.

Time Is Broken

I didn't have enough time to get it working, so I did not bother with a proper title.

Here it is, just like how I didn't plan it. Too little time, and experience as this was my first jam, but I'm still proud of it. Scriptable entities and everything!

So it has a time thingie. It might not be apparant, but the glitch happening every 30 seconds is why time is broken in this game. Therefore it is completly valid entry! It does not work at all as I intended, but at least it has something related to time being broken.

While I acknowledge it is a really bad game, I still hope it is not the worst in the jam. ;) Anyway, I still had fun creating it and I will participate in upcoming jams.

Download and sources

Sources are available on github, and you can download the debug build from here.

How to play

Arrow keys move, space bar shoots. Nothing else in there.

Technical details

I used C# and OpenTK, and developed it under Linux. It should work on any platform with mono or .NET 4.0 installed. No other libraries used. I wrote the ECS engine and sprite renderer myself. If you wish to have more information about anything in the code, please ask me in the GD.SE chat.

All textures used in the game are from OpenGameArt.Org. Thanks for releasing such great resources!

I release all source code included in the git repository under MIT licence.

Pew Pew - In the broken time

This is a game I began to work on for full some days ago. Now its ready with a little storyline about the time is broken. Hope you enjoy it. Controls: the arrow keys and clicking on button.

Game: https://www.mediafire.com/?w5ty1d3q233k0u0

Source: https://www.mediafire.com/?mhmje9za4o6scje

I have made all the resources by myself. Git publish is coming soon, but right now I have some problems with pushing to GitHub

I'm using Eclipse Public License v1.0

Broken Time

A very quick game created on iOS. To play the game, open Xcode and run the app on your device. If you would like to change the way the game is controlled, change the 'preferredInput' variable in GameViewController.m (0 = tilt, 1 = dpad, 2 = external keyboard)

    \$\begingroup\$ Hah, those are quite a lot of requirements (Mac OS X, Xcode, a developer's license...). Could you please show us a gameplay video instead? Not a lot of people would be able to play your game I believe, and it would be a pity to not get voted if it's good. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ You do. You can run it on the simulator, but not an actual device (plus you need to provision the device, which many people may not want to do for their carry phone if that's all they have). \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @JoshPetrie Ah. Well it should work on the simulator if you enable the dpad. I'll put together a video later. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @javadog36 I'm still looking forward for the video. :) BTW There are no windows-only games submitted. My game runs on any platform that can run mono (including mac), joapet's game is using java and I was able to run it on my linux machine, and John's game is web-based which runs on any html5-enabled platform. I also got Mick's engine to build on my linux machine, though I did not get it to run properly. But that is most likely because of for some reason I can not use GL3 contexts on this laptop even if there is support for it. \$\endgroup\$

Find the game

Here's the engine half finished, the game is to figure out how to play it and have fun, this counts "time" and "broken" right? ;)

(I'm joking, although please do post "High Scores" if anyone manages to play it :P)
