Iā€™m in ā€¦ I think the topic is important. I liked the ā€˜educationā€™ one last time but it wasnā€™t everyoneā€™s cup of tea.

Ok, Iā€™ll make a suggestionā€¦ how about a cowboy/western theme? Cows, farms, rodeos, duels, trains, horsesā€¦

As long as @crait doesnā€™t submit his Midnight Cowboy game ā€¦ that would be hard to beat!

I will definitely participate. I loved the others I was a part of. We should probably plan for it months out so people can set time aside. The first week of November, for instance, would be far enough out.

I really like having goofy concepts or something slightly vague enough to allow a lot of creativity like the ā€œHolidaysā€ theme we had in the past.

Haha. Thank youā€¦ :joy::joy:

I think @filmote has a good pointā€¦ The last jam had an educational aspect since those kinds of games didnā€™t quite exist on the system. Maybe we should find a theme that the Arduboy is missing, like board games or something.

We could organise an unofficial one without prizes.
We canā€™t really organise an official one without Mr Admin.

I think Iā€™d give it a miss again, Iā€™ve got enough projects on my to do list.

In Space!

great timing!
i got my nephew an arduboy for his birthday about a month ago and heā€™s enjoying it, and i just got mine a day ago and was trying to come up with a project to share with him.
i am so down.
following this thread and looking forward to seeing where it takes me.

Another (though probably un-official) Gam Jam sounds great! :grinning:

What about countries as themes? Bring on the stereotypes!
Europe: castles, cheese, making wine, gladiators, spaghetti, etc
or Australia: kangaroos, emus, BBQ, boomerangs, camping, etc

@Freezingsnail had this covered ā€¦

I am thinking of a game featuring a Drop Bear.

@Celinebins & @filmote:

Really though, Iā€™d be tempted to just rip off Allo Allo.
All the stereotypes I could ever want :P

My noodlin game in south Carolina will fit in that topic :fishing_pole_and_fish:

Awesome ā€¦ just wade right into the water and grab 'em.

I am thinking of a game called ā€˜Kangaroo Cullā€™ where you have to pull the trigger right when they are in the centre of the sights.

Hmm iā€™d guess i should make a game about a cheesy dude plugging holes in a dike then :stuck_out_tongue:

Prefer the Western theme though

Kangaroos, because Emus would be too difficult.

Emus 1, Aussies 0

And cassowaries for that matter. The southern cassowary: endangered and dangerous.
(Good look at a cassowary here for anyone interested.)

What about Cane toads for bonus points.

I was thinking a school-themed jam because the school year is going to start soon (doesnā€™t have to be educational). :abc:
