Description Guidelines

The description box in the submission process is where EVERYTHING (other than your game) will go. We recommend drafting a document before submitting to avoid any data loss and to help you flesh out your ideas more fully and coherently. You are welcome to also submit this document (as it will probably be nicely formatted and you can include pretty pictures and graphics). However we would appreciate if you could at least copy & paste all relevant text content into this section too. This guarantees judges will be able to view it.

Below is a set of strongly recommended guidelines of content you should include in the description. Not including any of the below could interfere with fully evaluating your game for judging. Of course you are welcome to submit even more as well!

• How did you address the themes and keyword of the jam? "Double Dissolution"
• Gameplay Instructions! We understand you may not have got a chance to implement a tutorial for your game, so tell us how to play here! Outline all the important mechanics and controls for the player,
• Download, install and run instructions. How best to download, install and run your game so people can play!
• Feel free to upload any (and many!) pictures to help illustrate your description documentation.

Code of Conduct

While Tasjam aims to be a fun and creative event we are also community minded and want to make sure this event is safe and open to all. It is for this reason we have the following Code of Conduct that applies to all community interaction online and at all site locations.

We do not tolerate harassment of or from participants, observers, sponsors or volunteers. the following are not only guidelines for all those who participate in this community, but also enforced consequences of unacceptable behaviour.

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

• Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination [related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion, technology choices.]
• Gender assumptions and policing: Do not assume gender. If you are unsure of someones preferred gender pronoun, address them by their name. They might tell you and if they don't, that is ok, too!
• Sexual images in public spaces
• Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following
• Harassing photography or recording
• Sustained disruption of others work and formalised parts of the event
• Inappropriate physical contact
• Unwelcome sexual attention

Event organisers may take action to redress anything designed to, or with the clear impact of, disrupting the event or making the environment hostile for any participants.

We expect participants to follow these rules at all event venues and event-related social activities. We encourage and think participants should uphold this sort of respect for each other outside of event activities too.

Reporting

If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible. Harassment and other code of conduct violations reduce the value of our event for everyone. We want you to be happy at our event. People like you make our event a better place.

Welcome to the inaugural TasJam!

We're very excited to have you join us for Tasmania's first statewide games jam and hope you're ready to get into it come Saturday morning! Before we get into it though, we thought you might like this chance to introduce yourselves; Who are you? What games do you like playing? What ideas and skills can you bring to a team? What are you most excited about for TasJam? If you had to fight a horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses, which would you choose? Banana vs Pineapple? ... You get the gist.

To help you out I'll get the ball rolling:

Hello everyone! I'm mostly known as Ducky.

I'm a part-time web developer at a local web agency, as well as a university student. My majors are in Games Technology and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and on top of these I'm also very interested in Human Computer Interaction (HCI). I used to mainly play first person shooters (CS:S!), but have significantly broadened my tastes since I left college and now have a shamefully large backlog of games I'm working through (darn you steam sales!). I am also absolutely loving the board game renaissance happening at the moment!

Other than playing and making games in my spare time, sometimes I like to introduce coding to people by teaching them how to make simple games in python, and learning more myself! ... Oh and I have a very cute dog called Ada.

Anyway enough about me! How about you?
