    Guys,
     
    Andrei and I have been talking a bit about dev night. We'd like to get a bit competitive and we want everyone to join us!
     
    Every week we'll be busing out a game based on a challenge/theme. You have game dev night to create the game, but you get all week to think about what you want to make. So, today i'll be announcing the theme. We're going to start easy.
     
    This coming week we're challenging you to make a Racing Game. No other rules. Any platform you want.
     
    Team can be 1 or 2 people, to keep it nice and competitive. So far, these are the people taking part:
    Andrei
    Dain
    Keith
    Nikko
    Myself
     
    Hit me up and let me know what u guys think of this idea. It's basically a weekly mini-game-jam. So far, we'll all be working solo. But I love the idea of 2 man teams. Shoot me theme ideas etc. I want to do a night where we design based on a short youtube video or maybe artwork. Maybe something else like, your most hated genre. Let the spice flow.
     
    Lata,

    I'm booked up or out-of-town until basically 2013... but this sounds
    AWESOME and I can't wait to attend!
     
    Great idea!

    Can you participate if you cannot physically attend?

    I'm totally down for this, I even have an idea for a racing game I've been
    wanting to try. I'd love some help on it.

Time-wise, this is the format we're thinking of:
  • The theme will be released a week ahead of time, so you have time to think of a game design and don't have to waste time brainstorming during dev night. This week it's racing game, so figure out exactly what you'll want to do/need to create before Thursday.
  • We're thinking a twelve hour jam is a good exercise. That's plenty of time for a super simple working prototype. We just want to help each other practice implementation, and be able to make something new every single week.
  • We'll just start when dev night starts: 5:00pm, and go 12 hours from there. Of course a lot of people have to leave well before 5:00am, so you can continue working at home or the next day until your 12 hours is up.
  • The time isn't a hard and fast rule, it's just a guideline to help practice rapid prototyping.
  • We own phillydevnight.com; it's just a redirect now but we're planning on turning it into a super simple site where we can show off the prototypes we make, among other things. If you just want to stay home and work on your own just let us know and we can still put your project up.

Our whole team is on Skype. Anyone who wants to work remote could still ping us all. It might be cool to setup a cam.

A cam would definitely be cool.  I'm not able to be there on Thursday nights, but I would definitely enjoy working on some things and having the cam up.
