What’s up, folks? This is your pal Mandrake LIVE BLOGGING from the official Tiny Gods Game Jam taking place at la casa de Chuck. We’re jamming some games and pounding down some Mountain Dew Throwback.
Pasty is doing some coding. Ran and Idan are tossing around some design ideas. Sullivan is drawing lots of pretty pictures. Chuck is setting up some source control for us. I arrived a bit late, so I’m still trying to snag myself a worthwhile role. I figured I might as well document things.
The theme for the Global Game Jam is “Deception” but we’re going with “Escape” because we don’t let anybody tell us how to jam. I’ll post more as progress is made.
The “Escape” theme was from CGDC #7 (see here http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/01/game-competition-puts-indies-interactive-fiction-in-focus.ars) but we coopted it instead of waiting to see what the official Global Game Jam regional theme was. I do not regret this!
