It’s been 4 years since the last pick ‘n’ mix miniLD, so I think it’s about time for a sequel!

This time I have prepared a list of goals, challenges, and themes. Pick whatever you like from the lists and make a game!

GOALS:

Make a game that makes the player;

• Laugh
• Scared
• Go ‘Awwwww ^__^’
• Go ‘Awwwww :(‘
• Dizzy
• Hungry
• Want to rage quit

Challenges:

Push yourself this jam;

• Use only 4 colours (no more, no less!)
• Make a game that uses all/most keyboard keys
• Make a game that uses just 2 keyboard keys
• Make a game with only one mechanic
• Make a game with as many mechanics as you can
• Swap 2D/3D – If you normally work with 3D, try 2D (or vice versa)
• Swap solo/team – If you normally work solo, try collaborating (or vice versa)

Themes:

Want some themes? pick;

• Back to the Future (welcome to 2015!)
• Film Noir
• ZANY TO THE MAX
• B-movie: the game
• Dancing
• Chill
• Fishing

Pick whatever you want from the list (one thing, lots of things, nothing – Just do what you want to do really)

Rules:

• I don’t care. Do what you want. So long as you’re trying to be a decent person you and me are cool.

Date:

• Weekend of 31st January/1st February
• but you can start whenever you want
• Submissions will close on Monday 9th, aim for Sunday to be safe!

If you have any questions, ask below – but the answer is probably going to be “Yes you can do that if you want”
