The GMC Jam is a WILD game development contest run every 3 months by the GameMaker Community. This is the 33rd such jam marking 8 years and 3 months of its existence! (Phew).
Members compete to make the best game possible over the course of just 96 hours.
GMC Jam 33 will take place on the following dates:
May 23rd, 2019 12:00 UTC - May 27th, 2019 12:00 UTC
(Countdown Clock)
May 23rd, 2019 12:00 UTC - May 27th, 2019 12:00 UTC
(Countdown Clock)
- Any GMC member can take part in the GMC Jam. You must use GameMaker to create your game.
- Games must be made between 12:00 UTC on May 23rd and 12:00 UTC on May 27th, and posted in the games topic.
- You may use resources such as graphics, sounds and scripts that were made prior to the jam, as long as the bulk of your work takes place during Jam weekend.
- You may create one post per entry in the games topic. You may create this post before your game is finished and continue editing that post to update your progress, in fact you are encouraged to write a devlog!
- All entries must have a download link in the Games Topic before it closes at 12:00 UTC on May 27th.
- All entries must work on Windows as a standalone executable / compressed zip folder. No installers please. Your entry can also work in HTML5 and on other platforms, but only the Windows build will be judged.
- All entries are encouraged to follow the Jam theme. It isn't mandatory to do so, but you'll often get more favourable reviews from your peers!
- You may participate alone or in a team of up to 3 members. See the "teams" section below if you're looking for teammates.
- As soon as the Jam ends on May 27th at 12:00 UTC, a zip folder of the games will be created and posted in the voting topic so that players can download all the entries at once if they wish.
- Voters will then have around 2 weeks to play and rank the games and voting will close on June 10th at 12:00 UTC.
- Any member of the GMC can vote, even if they didn't enter the jam. You cannot vote for your own entry. Votes shall be posted in the voting topic.
- Voters are encouraged to rank as many games as possible, and their final votes must include at least their top 3 games. More information on this will be provided in the voting topic when it opens.
That's all you need to know, but more information will be available in the Voting Topic when it opens!
- The winner(s) get to decide the Theme of the next GMC Jam.
- The top 3 entrants, as well as winners of the "Best Of" categories will win personalised banners for their forum signature and a place in the Hall of Fame topic.
- More to be confirmed...
Community Prizes
Members can offer their own prizes for the GMC Jam. PM me, @GameDevDan , and I'll add your prize to the list. NOTES: You should offer something based on your skills, rather than a commercial prize. You will also need to handle giving out the prizes yourselves after the end of the jam.
- @Micah_DS - A fan work of my favorite game from the top 7 ranked games. This could be a remix of a song from the game, art related to the game, a special trophy, a full play through video with commentary endlessly praising the game, etc.
- @Alexx - I would like to offer a community prize to 10 random entries. I wish to offer 1000 professionally recorded voice audio: https://www.learngamemakerstudio.com/product/voice-audio/
