The Summer Fediverse Game Jam has Started!
(programming.dev)
The theme of the game jam voted on by participants is Parallel Worlds
Feel free to share progress of games you're working for it around the fediverse. We have a hashtag on the microblogging platforms #FediverseJam and there are engine specific communities like godot, unity, unreal, etc. that you can find on programming.dev
The jam will last for nine days before submissions to the itch.io page close https://itch.io/jam/summer-fediverse-jam
Ill be streaming games submitted to the jam and will do a video showcasing the entries once results are out
Hope you enjoy! Ill be aiming to run these twice a year as a way to encourage some more game dev activity around the fediverse
Communication about the jam with announcements about it and discussion between participants will be happening on the fediverse. Normally in jams you have people sharing wip stuff on discord and twitter while in this case well be aiming to get that all within the fediverse to encourage people to start using it more
We have a hashtag that people can use on mastodon to look at other things people are doing in the jam and theres communities here on lemmy to share your game
No usage of mastodon or lemmy required in the game (although you could do some references to them if you want). Just linked in terms of communication
