Multiplayer Game Jam

Nim jam comments

2022-08-07T16:31:41Z

To clarify some things (as the dev): Read the known issues on the game page before you start. I created all the art except for the player avatars. Mainly the match. :) I did not create the one sound in the game. See in-game About for more details. Nim is a 2 player game but I provide a list of active public games. You can run the game twice locally and connect to your own hosted session to experience the back and forth. I posted a demo video on the game page so you don't have to install/run to experience it.

Message from the creator(s):
Goal was to create a turn-based framework so I chose a simple classic game to sit on top. I did buy some art for the player avatars.

How does your game fit the theme?
It actually doesn't. I spent a couple days working out some game designs that I ended up scrapping the day the jam started. A day later, I started working on the turn-based framework with Nim (having given up on the jam) but then a couple days in, I realized I might be able to squeeze it in. A couple days after that, I realized I forgot about the theme and couldn't work it in on time. :(

Original Art

Didn't create the vast majority of the art during the jam.

Original Audio

Yes (Music & SFX)

Created the vast majority of the music and sfx during the jam.

Nice lobby implementation, we should have done something similar in our game to ease connection.

Well... next time :)
