Hey everyone! The moment we've all been impatiently waiting for is finally here! Dusk’s 1st Jam has officially started and will run from today, August 1st 00:00 UTC, until August 11th 23:59 UTC.
The theme we’ve chosen for the occasion is... Creativity! 🧑🎨
This summer we want to help players unleash all of their imagination with the theme of "Creativity". Be it through playing in unique scenarios, experimenting with unconventional mechanics, giving life to mythical creatures, or interacting through drawing and images.
Focus on the aesthetics of the visuals and build a world of colors, shapes, and original designs: players should breathe creativity as soon as they step into the game 🎨 🏞️ Ensure that the game-play involves building, crafting, molding, to trigger the players’ creativity and stimulate their inventiveness 🏗️ 🪵 🧲 🚧
Seeking inspiration? Exploring these games might help getting you started:
- Drawing Games: Pictionary, Gartic-phone, Draw Something, Scribblenauts, Iconary, Quick Draw!
- Building Games: Minecraft, Townscaper, Terraria, Trove, Roblox
- Factory Games: Satisfactory, Learning Factory, Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, Desynced
- Sim Games: Spore, Sims, Incredible Machine, World of Goo, Dig This!
Look at the above titles as simple suggestions to make your mind take off, rather than constraints for your ideas: this time we chose a fairly open theme because we want your creation to embody the spirit of artistic freedom and inventive game-play 💭
No matter your level of experience: your participation and your unique ideas are what is going to take to make Dusk's 1st Jam unforgettable 🥳
Tech-demos and other open-source games can be used as the starting point for your jam submission! 🙂
We wish all of you the best luck ad we cannot wait to see the amazing games you'll come up with! Happy Jamming everyone! 😊 🙏
