dave Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Last month we ran our first PLAYHACK, the first of our monthly game jams. Instead of a general game theme we give you a cool 3D asset for you to make any game you like with. This month we have a Christmas theme with this awesome Santa's sleigh model. It's just for fun so the rules are simple. Start by forking our original project. Build any game you like, endless-runner, racing game, arcade, etc, but somewhere you must include this month's asset. Our favourite game at the end of the month gets featured on our home page. Last month the theme asset was a sci-fi Hover Tank. Over 40 people forked the project and our favourite game was called SRL. A super-tough stealth rogue-like. Would be great to see some of the community here have a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpriteWrench Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I really like the idea behind this event. Unfortunately time for me is limited. Any place where i can give the projects from last month a play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 I really like the idea behind this event. Unfortunately time for me is limited. Any place where i can give the projects from last month a play. The good thing about PLAYHACK is that it will run every month. So if you can't do it this month, you can always join in January for the next one. Last month was our first so most people didn't finish their games. But the three most complete were: SRL: http://apps.playcanvas.com/lizzip/gamehack/SRLAlpha02: http://apps.playcanvas.com/crefossus/pewpew/alpha002Tank Sandbox: http://apps.playcanvas.com/danielpettersson/hack/tank Definitely worth having a go, just to get a feel for the engine and tools. I'm looking forward to the Christmas-sy results of this one. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
