[Post(s)/Content] Jam Games: Where Are They Now?

Open Warr1024 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

As a Post, or a series of Posts, or as Content, I'd like to see summary information (possibly periodic updates) of ongoing changes with Jam games.

It would nice to show that even if jam games are lackluster at the time of their submission, when they gain a lot of exposure, at least some of them improve significantly afterwards. We saw dramatic examples of this last year, e.g. ColourHop, Minegistics. We've seen at least one this year (Piranesi Restoration Project). I've also heard some discussion about other projects (e.g. Space Club) wanting to continue.

Jam game authors who are still working on their projects might not be cognizant of the need to submit news to Minetest Blog, so it may be a good idea to go check on CDB and source trackers to see whether anything is happening, and/or to try to contact the authors and prod them to share news.

I like this idea, but:

  1. I think its pretty obvious after a year of posts that we barely have time for the monthly updates. any other would have to come via PR from other community members.

  2. If a jam game does a major update, it is free to be featured in the monthly post.

Maybe the previous games that got major upgrades or are still in development (i.e. not necessarily the winners) can be namedropped when the next game jam is announced on the blog?
