Smile Game Builder RETURNERS 2022 Game Jam

The Smile Game Builder RETURNERS 2022 Game Jam (hosted by AmalgamAsh) is now on! Get your creative juices flowing and participate!

Ash’s Promotional Video

Will Wulfy Join?

I stated after the previous game jams that I would neither host nor participate in any jams for awhile. Despite many requests – especially by Ash himself – for my participation in this game jam, my stance is this (quoted from the dedicated channel of the SGB Discord server):

I’m not guaranteeing, confirming or denying, or promising anything, but I do have an idea and IF I decide to continue with it, then this will be the game for the jam (but I’ll keep many of the details to myself for now).

That said, I’d be more interested in properly playing and testing – and this time video showcasing – all the game submissions instead.

I’ve Officially Joined the Smile Game Builder
Summer 2020 Game Jam

Yes, that’s right! I have officially joined the SMILE GAME BUILDER Summer 2020 Game Jam, hosted by AmalgamAsh.

This is the first game jam I’ve entered. I wasn’t going to enter at all, but I figured why not?

I’m constantly asked why, if I’ve been with SGB since the beginning, haven’t I produced any games? It’s a valid question.

Aside from creating my SGB Tutorials, part of the problem with entering game jams (and the reason I haven’t entered any yet) has been motivation and focus because…life and work, y’know! Hence, this game jam will provide the opportunity to refocus and fuel the motivational drive and determination to publish a game, even a short one or a demo at this point.

So my official entry into the Game Jam is Enigma of the Wulf, which is a short mystery-drive game. It mostly uses the default models, with a few additions from the Type-B Friends with Symbols and G-Style Modern City Resource Pack Vol. 1 DLCs.

I won’t divulge too many details yet, but will continue working on it on my days off until the end date (maybe before then).

If development on the game continues after the Game Jam ends, I’ll further expand the storyline, create new models – including animations – and assets for it, and create a separate section here and on GameJolt for progress update.
