F*** This Jam Sounds Like the Best Game Jam Ever

If I could make games, I would make an RTS for this.

Hopefully someone gives the Generic War FPS a makeover.

Are social games a genre? I really hate those horrible cooldown times and other kinds of cash-in crap they have on Facebook.

F***, I love Super Crate Box.

Bears were probably involved, too.

Someone at this convention, please make a third person shooter wherein the war soldiers are in reality really puny, skinny jean-wearing Goth kids that slit their wrists after each kill. The protagonist only thinks he is a Marine, but in reality he is shooting squirrels in his trailer park.

@Darthozzan: Oh damn, forgot about that gem...

Mafia Wars then? Though EA might've already covered that with The Godfather 2.

I could only imagine the shit show that would come from someone who hates fighting games making one.

It would be great and hilarious.

In this case "Fuck" is not an expletive, but a proper noun, and thus should be uncensored.

Sounds great. Who better to improve on a genre than those who have qualms with its quirks and standard conventions?

Definitely like the idea. Some interesting things could come out of this, from absurd satires to a total fucking of conventions. I'm vaguely reminded of that joke Flash "RPG" in which you just walk in a line and continually level up until it's over.

Patrick, im sure you probably will anyways. But you should try and cover a reasonable amount of content that comes out of this. thanks

I double dog dare them to make a better-worst FPS than this:

If I had a dollar for every time I say "SO REALLLL" while playing some other game, I could buy meself a season pass. ;D

I'd suggest someone lampoon adventure games, but I'm not really sure anyone could tell a satire from the real thing at this point.

@bushpusherr: Yes, this sounds amazing!

This could be a really good idea. Also the fact they have a little more time could mean we get some properly "finished" games out of this one.

They never did a quick look of some of the molyjam games, did they?

Aaaand... cue the man who arrives in the nude with a jar of Smucker's in one hand and condoms in the other.

We're going to get a bunch of generic war shooters, social games (i.e Facebook) and Kinect games. Fuck it, tie all 3 together.

I would probably make a tower defense game if I was participating.

It will have pay-to-win features, update your wall every 36-153 seconds, have buttons that don't work 1/75th of the time (or work DOUBLE) and is played primarily with an N64 controller by design.

Fuck This Jam sounds like the title of a more crass straight to DVD reimagining of the American Pie franchise.

It's also not censored in the text, so...? Interesting choice.

I think it would be a grand challenge to work on something that you don't like and see it you could figure out how to make it palatable for your self.

Get EA on the phone, we've found their answer to CoD.

yeah this article was kinda weird....

I wish this was like, a project with AAA type budget behind it and not a 2 day jam thing. Still awesome idea, through years of gaming I've just grown to dislike some genres so I don't even give them a second look, anything that takes a stab at messing with that is cool.

hm. so that means i'd have to make either a Puzzle game, a Board game, or a JRPG. and being that i'm not Japanese, that leaves only Puzzle and Board. i think puzzle wins, by a very small margin, only because board games actually become kind of interesting once put into video games. i think i'll join this. subscribed to their email. thanks, Patrick!

This theme could produce some really passionate stuff, can't wait. I like the idea of the time frame too, those 24 hour jams show some really distilled concepts but I'm sure it limits the participants.

Really looking forward to seeing any stealth games that come out of this.

The interesting thing is it makes me think what genere I hate. Then think about why and what it would have toi look like for me to want to play it.
I think that could be fantastically innovative.

This sounds great. I can't wait to see what comes out of it.

Interesting way to get devs out of their comfort zone?

I don't even know how to make games, but i want to try to make my RTS, because i don't have patience and i hate managing resources. Besides, i hate the fact that RTS seems more like a race than a fucking strategy game.

@MikeGosot: I wish you the best, that sounds like an interesting combination. I hope you can get something working that at least shows off the concept.

Ah man. Sounds like total fun. Wish I was involved...

Isn't this pretty much what happened with Spec Ops the line?

Well, they had a hell of a lot longer, but still, the idea is there.
