  • As a pre-emptive announcement, our update server went down at the weekend, we're working on fixing it, but this may cause a delay.

    In all honesty it should be fixed before this Friday, but just in case!

  • We'll be announcing the results on April 15th.

  • Not even close! I've played about 20!

    The jam is being judged by myself, a consultant from the UK; and Suvi, the company director from the US. Due to timezone differences we'll need to get to work out a time to judge these fairly, as well as play at our own speed. After that we'll post the announcement - as we both work full time jobs in addition to Rikoshe (which in it's own right is a 40 hour week+ job!), I'd put next weekend as a soft estimate.

  • There are 20 total winners, the 10 best game jam entries, and 10 randomly selected social media/competition entrants.

    Luckily it's significantly easier to pick 10 people at random!

  • A quick update - I'm currently playing through all the games along with the company director. Due to the logistics of not only playing 80+ games, deciding 10 winners and then contacting them, and then distributing prizes, I'm not confident on giving a firm announcement date, though rest assured, it will be soon.

  • Thank you guys for all your entries - we can't wait to start judging (and playing) them soon!

  • Yes

  • Rikimaru - of course you can!

    totoyan - make sure you upload your entry to Rikoshe Mobile Game Jam section of the Scirra Arcade: https://www.scirra.com/arcade/rikoshe-mobile-game-jam

  • 1) Creative interpretations are always interesting! Go for it!

    2) You can enter multiple times, but in order to prevent an experienced developer sweeping all the places, you can only win once.

  • Hi guys,

  • Sure thing

  • how is something called html5 but then JS is used to code it. that doesn't make sense.

    html is just a markup language which utilizes JS, but since the difference in amount of really used code, i'd rather call it a javascript engine, then html engine.

    HTML5 is widely considered to be the combination of HTML, CSS and JS. The actual HTML5 is simply referred to as HTML, in the same way that no one ever said "I know how HTML4".

  • Make a game that follows the theme and rules, and then submit it!

    Theme

    The theme of the jam is light and dark - interpret this however you want!

    Rules

    It's a mobile game jam - so your game should work on mobile devices!

    No overtly graphic content - let's keep it family friendly!

    Make sure you submit your entry before the 31st of March.

    1. What's about the licencing of the games? Do we give the game away actually or not at all?

    You own your games entirely.

    2. Will the game be available on Rikoshe page or used by Rikoshe after Game Jam? Or is it just "do it - forget it"?

    This would be a decision for Tom - but we would have no problem with the games remaining after the game jam.

    3. Game Jam is about mobile games but you want us to publish it to Scirra store actually as a Browser HTML game. Will you test it on a mobile or in the browser? Should we build it for a "mouse user" or "multi-touch user"?

    We'll be reviewing on a combination of mobile devices and tablets - as our business is mobile, I would go for multi-touch.

  • Could I submit my game through google play and app store?

    For conviencience, we're only accepting games uploaded to the Rikoshe section of the Scirra Arcade.

    Will I still own my game even after submitting?

    Yes!

    Will submitted games be on Rikoshe?

    Nope - you retain all ownership.

    Could I not put it on the Rikoshe app?

    You could! We're focusing on the game jam at the moment (and have some exciting things to announce after it's finished), but we're always looking for new developers: https://www.rikoshe.com/submit.html
