What Would Joggydeux?

What if there was a game about an ancient civilization, but instead of controlling its people, you controlled the landscape? This idea led Peter Molyneux to create Populous, a title that would go on to influence gaming for years to come.

Now the year is 2013, and the video game industry is in a creative drought. We need new ideas to reinvigorate and reinvent video games as a medium. How? Molyjam, of course!

How?

Peter Molydeux, self-proclaimed doppelganger of Peter Molyneux, is currently tweeting a barrage of crazy, strange, and ultimately subversive game ideas. When it's time to jam, you'll pick one of these ideas and use it as the basis for your game!

When?

Molyjam takes place during the weekend of July 5th - 7th. You'll get 48 hours to make your game. Note: Do NOT go by the Glorious Trainwrecks event time! Since Molyjam is a global event, the jam starts and ends on midnight in your own timezone! Don't forget that vital bit! Start jamming once your calendar hits the 6th, and stop when it's no longer the 7th on your end!

Where?

Molyjam will feature a number of physical locations worldwide. You can jam on site, or jam from home! And if you can't join your fellow jammers in person, remember that there's always virtual reality!

Our IRC is at #glorioustrainwrecks on irc.freenode.net.

A list of game development tools is here.

You can submit your game to Glorious Trainwrecks here, but don't forget to submit to the actual Molyjam site as well!
