Hey everyone!
Here's another small message to keep you updated regarding the Icehouse Jam. The 2nd week is coming to an end, and we will be heading toward the finish line. As usual time flies very fast!
Before we summarize the latest jam news, we would like to announce something cool: you will have one additional full day in this Jam to finish your game! Indeed the initial end date was set to the 18th at 00:00, which was a mistake: in fact we wanted it to finish on Saturday night, which is actually at 23:59!
We hope that it's a good news and that you feel a little more confident regarding that deadline for your project.
Now regarding the Jam itself. Several games were announced last week! Unfortunately some of the participants had to cancel for various reasons. No new game has been announced, so the current list of expected games is:
- Game inspired by Zork, by Yazorius
- Game inspired by Dungeon Keeper, by Esmeralda
- Pity of Thieves, inspired by City of Thieves, by tundish
- Game inspired by Conker's Bad Fur Day (and/or Metal Gear) with a GameCube style, by Nelos
- Francium At the Golden Saucer, inspired by Final Fantasy 7, by Simon
- (change of plans) Game inspired by Amnesia: The Dark Descent, by Juanjo (aka Vairon)
- A game by Cryohydra
- Game inspired by Gobliiins, by Ormusto
- A retro pixelart game in a Kingdom, by Ellisjames20061
- A 2.5D platformer by Dancer
- Game inspired by classic board games, by So_Clutch713
All of these WIP images are exciting and we can't wait to put our hands on these games! Not all of the games might have been revealed yet, so who knows what will happen until the last minute?
Keep in mind the updated date of Saturday 18th at 23:59 (not 0:00) GMT
Best of luck to the participants, and see you next week to discover the submitted games !
The Icehouse admins,
Simon, Juanjo, Roger
