BLITZKAST MONTHLY V YESSSS!

What?

Start and finish a game prototype within 4 hours! You can start any time you want within the blitz time frame, as long as you try not to go over 4 hours of total work. The four hour limit serves to keep the projects' scope in check. Going over is no big deal, it is more of a rule of thumb for what to aim for than a strict time limit.

Then post your doings on this thread!

When?

On second sunday every month, from 0:00 to 23:59! Which means it's august 14th this time. Official Blitzkast Time starts at 18:00 UTC. But you don't have to be there if you can't!

Where?

At your place! Meeting in #poppenkast@slashnet

Why?

It's the perfect excuse to take a break from your usual projects and go nuts on something new and refreshing for just a short while. You just have four hours to lose...

This is not a competition. Idea is to get people active and make those games they always wanted to but "didn't have time for it" a.k.a. too lazy!

Bonus Extra challenge!

Theme: RACING!
Make a finished game in 4 hours using this theme!


GET SOME GAMES OUT BOYS AND BOYS AND GIRLS AND GIRLS!

With love,
Poppenkast

You guys rock the kazbah. 

There's pretty much nothing I love more than a game jam. 

One thing: I wanted to subscribe to your RSS but it is broken. 

Check it out:

Keep up the fan-freaking-tastic work.

Yeah the frontpage is pretty broken. It'll be fixed pretty soon if all goes well.

Anyways I'm excited. Might start early in the morning though so I might be done when everyone else is starting.

[BoxedLunch]

this is the rare Blitzkast where i have an idea that will work with the theme.

[JoGribbs]

I made this multiplayer type thing called Our Conflict is Meaningless.

Tell me why you hate it and I'll probably fix it eventually.

[darshell]

I just wanted to do something multiplayer
