Igor Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 So I take it that a themed game jam is a good idea then? I was thinking of trying to cover all of the major holidays in the coming years, one per year and have the community nominate/vote for the holiday for the following year's competition. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Easter! Bunnies, wiches, egg hunts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Olimpic games this summer. This could result in a great compilation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) French stream of the JAM from Broken Studio (some quite famous homebrew on the NES) https://www.twitch.tv/broke_studio Edited December 28, 2020 by LordKraken 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nop90 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Nice livestream. Too bad I can't chat in french. My wife is helping me translating the chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 You just came for your game For people who Santa to see replay, program was french lynxmas games, a Genesis game, some NES games and international lynxmas. All games Christmas themed. Broke Studio is a NES editor and developer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 No, whatched all the stream, but most of it without login. I use my twitch acount only to download twitch prime PS4 content for my son, so finding the pwd was not easy. Connected just in time to give some hint on my game.

Igor Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 So that's two suggestions so far: Easter Olympics 2021 I've already made an Easter game, so probably won't want to do that theme again soon. Olympics sounds like an interesting proposal. I think I will put up a thread in the main Lynx forum to ask for suggestions. For the next jam, I don't want it to be too soon since there are quite a few games in development for commercial release now that need finishing and I'd like a little break from organising events until baby is a little older.

Does it have to be Olympics 2021? Break Dancing to Debut at the 2024 Olympics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Olympics 2021 could actually be a good time to try something fun and never done on the lynx. Since most olympics games are multi-sport games, and since there is nothing like that on the Lynx (California games yes sure, but it's not exactly the same), we could organize a jam where every participant create one classical olympic mini-game (100m, triple jump, etc), and all these mini-games ends on the same cartridge as one full game. A bit ambitious for sure, and it would probably require a real graphic artist to keep the visual consistent, but why not :=) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadest Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Is it a demonstration sport at Tokyo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Dancing has been a demonstration sport in several event already. But if my info is correct it will be a real disciplin in 2024. But only break dance. In any case I would prefer to stay away from running games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 That's because french are supposedly the best in this discipline and guess where are the olympics 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was judging world championships in acrobatic Rock'n'Roll for years and there was one french couple that kept the title for almost a decade. In break dancing the competition will be hard. I did actually dance this in my youth some 40 years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Doesn't have to be Olympics 2021, nothing is decided, just getting ideas here, but I do like the idea of making a cart with various sport games on it as a jam type of cart release. @Albert has agreed to publish all future game jams on cart too, so at least that part's done - it would mean a 32k limit on games (assuming we don't get too many entries). I'll probably try to avoid any events that are too country-specific like 4th of July for example. Arbor Day sounds interesting too, I wonder if Lawnmower and Sylvester the Lumberjack would have qualified as entries (joking). So we have the following suggestions so far (I'm adding a couple of my own)... Easter Olympics 2021 Arbor Day Christmas (already done) Halloween April Fools' Day (already done) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You joke, but those games would fit an Arbor Day/Earth Day theme as much as the "not for all ages" Lynxmas games There was a Coleco homebrew, New Years Beach Party Garbage Pickup that was all about picking up litter from the beach... I guess that would be a sort of earth day game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
