[Game Jam, Aug 28-31] Board Game + ??? = AWESOMENESS

[Davidobot]

Hey everyone!

I'm running a game jam from August 28th-31st, with the main theme of taking a board/tabletop game and putting a video game twist on it! itch.io link: https://itch.io/jam/board-games-dx

I thought I'd advertise on this community a bit - there are prizes involved and quite a few cool ideas to be made, I reckon!

I was mainly inspired by Chess Wars, and RogueJack. Videos/gifs for inspiration: RogueJack, Chess Wars

Sounds really cool, I will join if I have time

I love board games, would it be "ok" to create an original board game? So not just remaking an existing board-game, but rather coming up with your own.

Either way I hope I can join

Hey dude! Long time no chat. I keep seeing your games pop up on Twitter and the Projects board here - they're all so cool! I really loved Final Voyage and Cardcade. The amount of polish you put into your jam games is just phenomenal!

If you're putting a video game spin on it (á la 100% Orange Juice, or Mario Party), then I don't see why not! The rule is just

Code: Select all

Base your game off of at least one board or tabletop game!

so it doesn't prevent you from adapting your own board games)

Either way I hope I can join

That makes two of us!

Hi Jeeper!

The idea of the jam is to take elements from an existing board game but giving it a videogame spin. You could make a little board game in the month before the jam, then use that as material for your jam game. Bonus points if your board game's board / pieces are in a printable format so that other people could try it out too!

Yeah it has been a while, feel free to add me on Discord (Jeeper#2222)! Thank you for the kind words

Thank you for your reply, I think I will base it off an existing board game, no reason to over-complicate things xD
