what is this jam?

tallshrimpHostSubmitted5 years ago

A game jam for making philosophical video games. This is the second philosophy game jam and this time the theme is "Ethics and Technology." Here is link to the first jam so you can see some games that were made for the previous jam: https://itch.io/jam/philosophy-game-jam.

Can the game be an analog system (e.g. ttrpg)?

tallshrimpHostSubmitted5 years ago

That would be fine. Of course, the normal game jam warning would apply that it might be harder to find players.

On a side note: part of the goal of these philosophy game jams is to motivate the creation of games that can be used in philosophy classes. A philosophical board game or ttrpg would be great for those purposes.

@tallshrimp

Since the theme is known i guess anyone can start at his/her own pace? Or do we want to make this a more of a shared experience thingy and work in parallel during the submission days?

While there is no way to stop people from starting now, people are strongly encouraged to work within the game jam rather than before hand. It's kind of part of the fun of a jam for people to be working at the same time, sharing their progress as they go.

Thanks that's pretty much what i was asking

Maybe next time when the jam isn't associated with a convention with obvious theme, revealing the theme at the beginning would be better.

Yeah, that's what I'd like to be the case for round 3 of this jam.
