+ During the first ever Python Discord Game Jam, + 23 teams signed up to create a game using the Python Arcade Library. + Each team consisted of 1-3 people and teammates were chosen by the participants themselves, + unlike in our Code Jams. + The Game Jam ran from April 17, 12:00 UTC to April 26, 18:00 UTC. +
+ +++ +The theme for this game jam is Three-of-a-kind.
++ What you do with this theme or how you interpret it is up to you, + but it will be your task to come up with something fun using this theme. +
+
+ The original Game Jam live stream is shown below, + where the top ten submissions were reviewed and showcased. + There was also an interview with Paul Craven, + the creator of the Python Arcade Library, + where he answered many questions about his origin/backstory, + the development of the Arcade library, and general programming. +
+ + +++ ++ You can also see the top ten submissions shown + here + on the Arcade website and all submissions were submitted + here to the repository. +
+
+ The winning team for our first ever Game Jam was team Score AAA, + consisting of one person, EmberDuck. He created a very polished game, + focusing in on one core idea and just nailing it perfectly. + This is a game where the player controls 3 different characters which need to jump over obstacles. + The concept itself may seem simple, but EmberDuck kept iterating on the idea, making it better and better, + taking it to the point of perfection. The graphics were phenomenal, the UI was beautiful and intuitive, and the animations were just fantastic. + The parallax effect in the background was mesmerizing, which was an element that was unique and different from other submissions. + Taking this project to another level, all art assets for this submission were made by EmberDuck himself. + This was an incredible project, especially for a one-man-team. Congratulations EmberDuck! +
+ ++ Check out their submission + here + and watch it being played live here! +
+ ++ The Gamer Gang (SansPapyrus683, Blue Bird, & SimplyNarwell) created a platformer game where the player controls + 3 different slimes to get through 6 different levels. + The slimes can either move together in a stack, or the player can split them apart to control each of them one by one. + The physics in this game was a nice addition and tied the game together nicely. + The graphics in this game were quite beautiful and the UI complemented it well. + This game scored quite high on many factors, and was a very fun game overall. Excellent job! +
++ Feel free to look at their submission + here + and watch it being played on stream here! +
+ ++ Team Monkeys and Frogs on Fire (BrainDead, F4zi, & f1re) + created a dungeon-crawler type of game where the player can switch between + 3 different wizards, each having their own special abilities. + The red wizard has great strength, while the green wizard has a lot of defense and the blue wizard is quick and fast. + A unique and exceptional feature of this game was the backend server which allowed a player to register/login. + The goal of this game was to survive as long as you can to get the highest score, + which is then uploaded to the server and can be seen on the leaderboard. + This game had a crisp and smooth UI along with nice graphics and fantastic animations, + bringing this game together. Phenomenol work! +
