I am thinking about organizing the first edition of a Steemit game creation event. I've noticed a fellow #gamedev that does daily game challenges. I think it would be nice if we could organize an event where we could see multiple game entries for a specific theme created by the Steemit community. If there's enough people interested in this, I will make an official post. Right now this is how I think it should go :
The theme will be selected from a pool of submitted themes and will be announced at the start of the event, which will be announced in another post if some people are willing to participate. I will be transparent in picking the theme by using the last block hash of the Bitcoin blockchain as a seed, so participants will know I did not pick the theme multiple hours before making it public.
The event will last 48 hours (Debatable in the comments).
No teams allowed, this is a solo event.
All assets must be created from the participant (Code, Art, Sound). However, game engines/frameworks/libraries are permitted.
The winner would be determined by the amount of upvotes (or payout from their submission post)(Debatable in the comments).
There would be no prize, this is just for fun! (But you do finish with a game you made! And the post payout reward!)
The project needs to be open-source. Sharing code is important!
Please discuss your thoughts and possible improvements in the comments. Please comment if you are willing to participate in the first edition of the SteemitJam (Name is debatable in the comments). If enough people are interested (At least 4-5), I will make a detailed post announcing the date and time of the event.
