Gigjam48 - Corona Game Jam

Getting Started Announcements
#21

Hmm, I am in Egypt that weekend. However I will have my macbook air with me so I still might be able to knock something up next to the pool!

#22

Darn it, although being at a pool in Egypt for a game jam actually sounds pretty nice  :slight_smile: If it turns out the majority of people can’t do the date then we are open to others. Want to get as many people as possible.

 

If it’s successful we’re thinking of making this a bi-annual thing if people were up for it so there would be another weekend in 6 months or so aswell.

#23

Just a quick update to say that we now have just under $2000 worth of software licences for prizes and hope to have some more prizes soon. We will be announcing the specific prizes soon when we have our new site up and running.

#24

Great job organizing such a thing!  Sure hope I can take some PTO and participate!

#25

Would be great to see you competing!

#26

Really looking forward to this, prizes are always a bonus too  :smiley:

#27

Hopefully they will act as some nice icing on the cake :slight_smile:

#28

More information including prizes and sign-up is now available - http://www.glitchgames.co.uk/gigjam/

#29

Just added a prize for 1st place that was meant to be there before, a licence for Kwik 2.

#30

I’d be up for doing it :slight_smile:

 

I would have to make sure the dates are ok nearer the time though! Weekends have been pretty hectic for us recently. 

 

Good luck organising it, i’m sure you can get enough people together to make it fun.

#31

I’m in (assuming I am not booked for the weekend it happens). Just tweeted about it @schroederapps.

#32

Jamie - That’s great! Would love to see what you can come up with in 48 hours but if you can’t enter then we will be looking for some community judges  :wink:

 

Jason - Thanks! Hopefully we can come up with a date that can please the majority of people.

#33

I took part in the Global Game Jam and my team used Corona for our game. I would love to take part in another jam and I’m sure the other guys on my team would too. I’ll let them know. 

 

BTW, our game, Rescue Beat, should be on the IOS and Android stores in the next week.  Here’s a link to the Global Game Jam site to our game.

That’s awesome, please get them all in! :-) 

 

And congrats on Rescue Beat! 

#35

We’re thinking the weekend of May 4th to the 5th ( the fact that it’s on Star Wars day is a happy coincidence )

#36

This sounds awesome. Count me in.

 

And I’ll contact you via email about possible prizes.

How could one possibly pass up a Corona game jam???

I’m in! :smiley:

#38

 

Woooo! Sneaky, offer a prize and then attempt to win it back :ph34r:  I like the way you do things :smiley:

 

 

Exactly! Welcome aboard!

 

 

 

Also, does anyone get email notifications of replies in the new forum? I’m subscribed to this thread and I received an email for the first reply but ever since that I’ve had nothing.
 

#39

I’ll be up for this - the Techority 48-hour challenge was responsible for the first Otter Studios game to make money. It didn’t win but for some reason they went mad for it in Saudi Arabia/Kuwait and those guys just loved clicking on revmob ads!

 

@GG - I found all my notifications from the new board were going to my junk folder so I had to add the Corona e-mail address to my contacts.

#40

 

Awesome! I’ll check to see if i can get a friend to help me with the artwork, but if we both can’t do it i would be more than happy to be a judge :smiley:

Is there a certain date that we need to have decided by?
