Mechanics mini Jam Winners Announced!

How much time do we have?

good question! Jam ends Monday the 15th of May. ill update the first post shortly.

But it must be a playable scene? Or only an automatic mechanism?
i.e. the player should be able to interact and do something in the game?

Its completely up to you, the only rule is that it needs a joint. I would think something you can interact with would be more fun, but if you make a super cool automatic mechanism it has as much chance of winning as anything else.

JOINTS!  yes haha..  I may have worked with these before .... hold for shameless plug... ... ..

Sure!

Awesome!! Let's do it. Is it okay to start the game work yet? Or time will be announced?

The jam will run from now until midnight PST on the 15th of may.

Good luck!

Do games have to use exactly one joint, or is that a minimum? (e.g. are games which use more than 1 joint allowed)

yeah its a minimum, I've changed my post now.

I most likely will not be joining since I do not care much about joints. However, two of my game concepts (on the back burner) do rely on joints, so maybe I will feel up to prototyping one of them.

Thank you so much for holding this jam. I hope everyone has a lot of fun

Sounds like fun, count me in!
