2015: NaNoWinter, SuNoFes, Yuri Game Jam

[Ran08]

I don't agree short deadlines = bad work.

Me too! I totally don't agree! Because, if that was true, then both of my released works would be bad works since I did them in under a week. Uhh... I don't wanna say my works are good, but it feels sad to think that they're bad just because they were done in a pretty short time.

I think lots of devs here have the potential to create a decent-- or even good-- game in just three weeks. Personally, I'm really excited to play the games that will get released. Who knows, maybe I could join if I have enough free time then, haha.

I recently made a realization that next year is the 10th anniversary of NaNoRenO. Since it all began in NaNoRenO 2005. For further evidence see PyTom's post.

Note: I removed the summer schedule for the time being, the primary focus is on the winter event.

Month reminder! The next announcement will be on the day before the jam begins where I announce the theme.

Whatever it is, don't worry about it. If anyone have questions or concerns, ask away.

If anyone wants to work with me on this, feel free to hit me up Preferably before the beginning date so I know I am taking part. I'm okay with doing bits for a project like this, so collaborating with other artists is cool. Alternatively I can also do more than that depending on what the project is and who is helping out. My stuff is here http://auro-cyanide.deviantart.com/ Whooo!

[Alte]

The theme is experimental, have fun. I think of it as a freebie. Feel free to try something new, old, adapt, etc.

[shanks]

The games start now >: D

I'm actually pretty excited for this, and I like the open-ended theme. Already started working on it, even though it's 1AM for me here. orz Looking forward to what others create! : )

This is the first visual novel game jam I and my artist have competed in, and I'm definitely excited for the theme. Thank you for setting this up, and good luck to everyone.

[Laniessa]

I decided this was a perfect way to try and get myself to be productive for the rest of the year, so I'll be trying to enter! I wish good luck to everyone!

(If anyone wants to compose music for a short story in which a princess is captured, and is set in a feudalistic sci-fi setting, please PM me!)

Whoever has decided that they are going to be involved should follow each other on twitter. That way we can keep each other motivated.
Mine is Emphasisonthethe@UnderianStudios

[OokamiKasumi]

I'm In.
-- I'm currently trying to decide between two projects; a simple Story VN or a mildly complicated Psychoanalysis Test. At the moment, I'm leaning more toward the Test since it actually fulfills the theme of Experimental. (Well that, and I actually started seriously working on it the day the theme was announced.)

Two weeks remaining.

I haven't made a visual novel in a very long time, maybe a year or two? id like to try again, theres only 10 days left of this challenge right? maybe I'll try to come up with something. I really want the practice actually.

I made mine in a matter of days, but then it only needed a handful of images.

I added a two days expansion which now ends at February 2nd. This an adapted model of MiniLD where it's sort of lenient towards deadlines except to a minor degree. It won't happen again in the future. (Speaking of extra days expansion, I mean. ^^;)
