The CRAZY 8 Jam - 8 Submissions in 8 weeks!
Week 6 Starts Feb 27 Ends March 2
Theme: TBA
Next week 7 >> HERE
Invest in 7 ventures, nay, 8; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.
― King Solomon
WE BELIEVE...
🎱Our skill exchange guild needs to get to the next level. No more “Business as usual”. This is not just another jam, but we have long-term hopes and dreams behind it. We are starting a local guild to mentor and raise up successful developers. Taking action regularly increases quality, cultivates the “Ready or not “PUBLISH!” habit, and overcomes the ailments of ego. Your efforts HERE will be tracked and can be applied to your membership in the real guild!
DETAILS...
🎱 SUBMISSIONS INCLUDE: Game (Video or Tabletop), 1-Pager or MEED, Comic Page, Sprite Sheet, Animation, Motion Comic, Audiobook style Short Story, Music, Text CYOA or Kinetic Novel (Twine?), Podcast...
🎱Scope: Somewhere between a Proof of Concept and a Prototype. Maybe during each week you spend only 4, 8 or more hours. YOU DECIDE.
🎱Award Categories: Best Overall, Best Art, Best Music, Best Writing, Best 1 Pager AND MAYBE >> WORST LOOKING just to help you overcome your time wasting perfectionism and fear!
🎱Multi-disciplinary teams are great but with all the creation options, it's easy to be a LONE WOLF! If you can't recruit a person for a needed role (e.g. art, music, writing) you may use free/paid assets or A.I. but would not be eligible to receive an award in that category.
🎱Each week:
---Theme is released Thursday Noon PST
---Submissions are due Sunday Noon PST
---People’s Choice Vote and 2 Judge picks due Wednesday Noon PST
---Repeat until we get to 8!

🎱🎱🎱AWARD PARTY TUESDAY APRIL 1st (yes, really) 7:00 PM PST @ The Innovation Collective
The themes for the Crazy 8 Jam will foreshadow our future studio’s “22:30” bootcamp strategy where apprentices are expected to create 22 games in 30 days in which THEY determine the theme for each game. However, for the jam, there will be some base constraints PLUS an additional special constraint to be revealed at the start of each.
Base Constraints:
🎱No using your babies, i.e. pet projects
🎱Each must be a small scope proof of concept
🎱Originality and fun are paramount
Special Constraint Pool that will randomly be selected from:🎱Cozy! … whatever that means to you
🎱Everything is Tiny
