PunyJam #1 has gathered 9 entries (Yay!). We are now accepting votes. The game “The Job” is not in the competition, but you can use the voting form even for this game, to provide feedback.
Anyone can be a judge. Authors are not allowed to vote on their own games. A judge can vote on any number of games.
Voting is based on the single criteria “Rate your overall enjoyment of the game, from 1 to 10”
At the end of 17 May 2021, CET, voting ends.
Please note: It’s not the authors’ fault that the first room of these games is similar between the games. The rules stipulate that the game has to start in a broom closet in a pub, and even gives the initial room description.
I have posted a long post mortem on the PunyJam #1Community page. Here’s a summary:
Thank you to all the entrants. I have played and completed all the games and was really impressed with the overall quality. For those that didn’t rate so well, please consider doing a post-jam release, then start on your next game.
Thank you to everyone that voted for ‘Captain Cutter’s Treasure’. It was a real challenge to learn a new library, design, code and test this game in just three weeks, but a challenge that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Congratulations to @CaptainEdgecase as the runner-up. His game is a lot of fun with an original concept and an interesting spin on magic. The difference in scores between our games could not have been any closer.
Thank you to @fredrik for organising the jam and answering all my questions on the Discord server.
Thank you to @WauloK for starting the Discord server in the first place. It’s been a great success.
I hope there will be a PunyJam #2 and that it will become a regular event.
Likewise, I post factum posted a post mortem post haste to the Community page for the jam.
Best I can tell, intfiction.org has been my most positive experience of a free public posting forum anywhere ever in my entire life. I’m glad I’m here Thank y’all for being warm and welcoming.
Congratulations to all, particularly Garry for the winning entry - pretty impressive for three week’s work. The overall standard of the entries was very high - I just wish I had more time right now to play them all! I too hope this becomes a regular thing.
