So this Saturday was SUPPOSED to be the Timezone Lottery Klik Jam. But who can think of jamming for only two hours on a separate event when GDC IS NEXT WEEK!? SO LET'S USE THIS WEEKEND TO MAKE THE PIRATE KART EVEN MORE MASSIVE!! LET'S DO Pirate* Kart V: The 2012**-in-one Glorious Developers Konference Kollection!!! (*games not pirated. **will not contain 2012 games. unless it does) It's happening RIGHT NOW!
The deadline is: NO DEADLINE JUST KEEP MAKING GAMES!!! The launcher will continue to download games even while AT GDC!!! Click the giant green button to sign-up/submit your game! Want to try out the launcher before GDC? Get it HERE!
Q. What is this? We're making loads of awesome and/or terrible games and taking them to GDC to blow minds with them! Over the weekend of February 25th-26th, everyone is invited to make as many games as they can and submit them here! After the event is over, we will package the games up into a launcher like we did with previous Pirate Karts! And then this March we will be showing them off in a kiosk at the Game Developer's Conference!!! The kiosk will even continue to download games while on the show floor! Q. Who can participate? ANYONE! EVERYONE! If you or anyone you know makes games, or even just has an interest in making games, we would love to have you all participate! If you've never made a game before, we think Klik & Play is pretty easy to learn! but any tool is allowed and there are lots of great ones out there! Q. What are the rules? What kind of games are allowed? The Pirate Kode has only one firm rule: If the rules are getting in the way of you making games, disregard them! To put it another way: Cheating is encouraged.
Q. THIS IS AWESOME! HOW DO I PARTICIPATE? Get yourself comfortable with some development environment, then when Pirate Kart Weekend arrives, MAKE GAMES LIKE CRAZY!!! Q. I MADE A GAME(S)! HOW DO I SUBMIT IT/THEM? SWEET! First, sign up for a Glorious Trainwrecks account if you haven't yet (you can do that here). Then click this, fill in the form, upload a game and a screenshot and submit and then YOUR GAME IS IN THE KART! Q. Weren't you asking for money? It got fully moneyed on Kickstarter! Q. Where are the game ideas people gave as Kickstarter rewards? Right here! There are THIRTY games that need to get made! If you could update that spreadsheet as you start working on them and with the link when you finish, we can hopefully avoid overlap and Mike will be able to contact folks when their games are made! Q. I want to make a game, but can't code! No prob! There is a lot of free tools for your game-making needs! Klik n' Play is the classic. Outdated, limited, buggy and absolutely wonderful for churning masses games. Making games isn't just for programmers! Q. How can I hang out and chat with everybody? |
