It is the moment you have all been waiting for!!! Well maybe, I guess.
I am supposed to host this thing, so when do we want to have the competition?
Edit: also post any ideas for themes or mechanics that you would like
Even if you don’t have a specific date in mind post a quick message here letting me know you are interested in joining up. After we get all the times decided then we can get all the other details after we get closer to the competition.
Have a great day!

P.S. This is my first time hosting, so any advice is welcome, I am open to suggestions
Great! I was wondering these days when the next BGMC would happen.
Good luck as host, and I will call some friends to participate the jam.
EDIT: I would prefer the jam to happen this month or, at most, early february due to time constraints for me after this time.
EDIT: Since the Discord server of the BGMC already exists, it may be good to include its invite link to the BGMC announcements: https://discord.gg/aR6CAcR
So I’ve never used discord (I live under a rock half the time )
Late January or early February sounds good to me, but I’ll wait to make it official until we get some more feedback. I’m in college so my schedule is up in the air when life will get crazy, so any time works for me (I just probably won’t have any games to add to the jam)
maybe the date associated with spring will be more relevant for such an event? I wanted to ask what will happen in this event? I just never heard of him
BGMC (Blender Game Making Competition) is a very informal game competition hosted by the previous winner (usually), so far it seems like in a couple weeks will work for most people, but there is usually a BGMC every couple of months, so there could potentially be another one in spring. They have been happening for a while (this is the 34th one).
Basics of the Jam
It is a one week competition
The mechanic and theme are decided by the host (though usually through popular opinion)
Occasionally someone will provide a reward (beyond hosting the next BGMC)
The games are usually rated by the community (though I have had one or two with judges, since I started)
Everyone is welcome to participate as long as they are using Blender for the game
This game competition is where I really learned a lot about making games, back when I made very simple games, so I love participating, and I hope you join, because when I first started we would get 15-20 submissions and I would love for that to happen again.
I love those ideas for the theme (I actually have been working on something similar for a personal project that I plan to post eventually) I can’t wait to see your game in the competition!
You are always welcome in the competition! We have always been welcome to anyone.
From what I remember is that you can use other resources, as long as it is free to everyone else to use, and if you use someone else’s work it needs to legal and a link to that source so anyone else can use that as well during the competition.
So if you don’t think you can model to the quality you want I believe you can use other free models as long as it is open for everyone else
You are right, everything that is free 2 use before the event starts may be used, as long as it is usable by everyone who is joining the bgmc. No discussion needed for it it’s like rule number 2 or 3 haha.
I will not use someone else his artwork or models, there are always issues with them, needing more work to make it work properly then creating it on my own(good ones always have a hard license, so they can’t be used).
I just have the perfection glitch in me, no one will see it, but i know it’s there, and not correct so i scrap it and start all over, haha that’s my method/flaw.
