We've now held a total of three jams under the UAIPGJ (Ultimate AI-Powered Game Jam) banner. During this journey, are there any of you who worked hard to create a piece for a jam but didn't quite make the deadline? Do you have any works that you were planning to submit to a jam but didn't finish in time, so they've just been sitting there ever since? It doesn't have to be limited to this particular event.
The reason I'm asking this is that I'm thinking of hosting a jam in the second half of the month to give these works a second chance. Here's the outline:
💠 The theme is "AI" and "Resurrection/Experimentation." It's a theme that's there but not really there.
💠 However, the main requirement is that the work must use AI (since this is UAIPGJ).
💠 And, games that have already been submitted to other jams are not eligible for submission.
💠 The jam period will be one weeks starting immediately after our regular monthly jam.
💠 The period from then until just before the next jam is the evaluation period.
This setup will allow you to submit works such as:
💠 Games you created for a previous jam but didn't finish in time.
💠 Experimental works, such as mini-games, that you've created using AI on a daily basis.
Well, I'm thinking of just going ahead and holding this as an experiment for now, so rather than debating whether we should hold it or not, if you have any thoughts—such as “I hope it turns out like this”—I'd be happy if you could share them with me, even though I know you're busy during the evaluation period. I'm not sure if I can cover everything, but I hope to make this a great jam by steadily improving it, so I'd like to take all your feedback into consideration.
Thank you for your cooperation. 🙂
