Yet another super fun and enjoyable Malagajam!
We made a guitar hero about telling jokes (in Spanish, sorry).

#GameJam Galore this month, wasn't it?

Your #GodotEngine CM wrote her first blog post to highlight some of the more obscure #JanuaryJam finds alongside the #GGJ24 numbers: https://godotengine.org/article/january-jams-2024/ 🔍📖

Moreover, we are officially inviting you to promote your jam games below ✨ Let's see the goodies!

January Jams

Looking back at a month of game jams, we curated a list of ten events that you might or might not have heard of before.

I forgot to share my #ggj24 #gamejam entry:
Chuckle Tycoon, a diabolic Comedy Club Manager

It's a bit all over the place. We focused more on having fun than working on a unified vision 🥳
Also we obiously didn't have time to properly test and balance the simulation part too much. But you can win and lose the game 😁

Stand-Up comedy is a deadly serious business.

Participated in #GGJ24. It was an absolute blast, happened to find a great team and could work on 2d/3d art, design and music. I hope I can do stuff like this more often. Check out the video and the given link!

Finally tried out the #godotengine (4.2) making a game for the #ggj24. Coming from Unity I was pleasantly surprised by its speed and features. Overall I was impressed!

However, the interface was a sore spot. Luckily I was told how to open scripts in a separate window. But finding out what is selected in the Inspector, finding properties, finding out why they aren't there or aren't editable... 😬

I can see that these issues aren't easy to fix, but I do hope they get improved eventually!
