This jam is now over. It ran from 2021-08-06 16:00:00 to 2021-08-09 03:59:59. View 1 entry

Longgame Tech Innovation Jams are about promoting interesting, innovative art (especially with Lisp) and sharing it (especially open source).

The jam focus for LTIJ4 is dimensions. This can mean whatever you want! It's simply some inspiration.

The jam is a week long. Don't feel pressured to make something super intricate or polished; it's more about having time to craft something you find interesting.

This game jam is about developing fun and interesting mechanics, promoting and encouraging Lisp, and public sharing of art.

Devving with Lisp isn't required. Lisp is a fascinating mathematical macroing language.

"Open source" doesn't have to mean that anyone can use it, just that it's publicly viewable. I personally like dedications to the public domain (this means big companies can't stop small companies from using the ideas). There is the license of "you can use this art in any project for any reason, with an optional reference back to the source". An example of that is essentially 0BSD or the Unlicense.

FAQ

Lisp is an abstract language discovered at the end of the second millennium (late 1950's). It is about list processing, usually of symbolic expressions (s-exprs). It is one of the biggest languages for developing intelligent machines (AIs).

What are some games with interesting dimension mechanics?
Wikipedia has an very interesting list of games with 4 dimensions. Skallos's Heartfelt game is uses time as a dimension.
