Interlinked network of games

This is a prototype game jam that encourages collaboration amongst multiple developers beyond just teams. Developers will make games that reference other participants'  games  in their own. Building off of each others' ideas in an attempt to make one big coherent world. This ranges from NPCs to sections of the map present in other games part of this jam. Original characters created for this jam can be present in any of the other games, either recreated or as shared assets.

Warning: Unlike other jams, this jam focuses heavily on cooperation from all participants and could have a higher risk of tension amongst fellow game developers.

Please don't provoke other participants nor let disagreements ruin the fun for others. We require participants to be both respectful and tolerable towards others. Try to not intentionally misrepresent the work of other participants, and be civil when you feel your own work is misinterpreted. It's advised that don't overcomplicate lore nor get stuck in your own head cannon.

Allow for freedom in the direction that participants take your ideas and don't take things too seriously. Have fun :)

A few suggestions:

• Focus on exploration and dialog, rather than fast paced gameplay.
• Add a character or two from other participants' games
• Have pathways that lead to places present in other games (and a link to that game)
• Show a landmark in the distance (background) that appear in another game
• Create and share assets that other developers can use
• Upload your build early and keep updating it, as you add more content

Web builds are preferred as this allows players to easily test out the changes when you upload new builds.
