The Arbitrary Gamejam Comes Home 2: Electric Boogaloo TAG has just come off a short one-month hiatus, and its kicking off right here. This time its a 7 Day Jam running from: 20th June @ 00:00 GMT [19th June @ 17:00 PST] UNTIL 26th June @ 23:59 GMT [25th June @ 16:59 PST] This TAG is has a special bonus rule that we're announcing early: Bonus Rule: "Show Me Your Moves!" This TAG, I want to see what you're working on! Instead of building a whole new game for the jam, show off something that you're currently working on or have worked on recently. During the Jam, spend those 7 days creating a special #TAGJam22 build of your project that incorporates the themes. For example: If your game is a Platformer, you could build a short bonus level or powerup that incorporates the TAG themes. If your game is an RPG, you could add a short quest, skill, monster or item which incorporates the TAG themes. If your game is a Racer, y...

Hey guys Just letting everyone know that TAG The Arbitrary Gamejam now has a dedicated subreddit, /r/TheArbitraryGamejam The next host, Daniel Bauman aka /u/dopplex , is considering using the subreddit in some way for submissions to #TAGJam9 . But we're also hoping that everyone will use the subreddit to share game development goodness, tools and tricks you might find useful for TAG and other gamejams.  The subreddit is brand new and rough around the edges, so head on over and feel free to share the game development love. If you are a previous host of The Arbitrary Gamejam and wish to become a moderator of this subreddit, let me know your reddit username either in the comments below or if perhaps you wish to be a little more discrete, by emailing me at TickTakashi@TheArbitraryGamejam.com For more information on #TAGJam9 , check out dopplex's site: http://www.dopplex.net/TAG9/ That's all for now, hope to see you all in April for #TAGJam9 ! ~Tick

Somehow, we won #TAGJam6! Woot. We will most likely be hosting #TAGJam7 on the new TAG website when it's up and running. Looking forward to it guys. Join us for #TAGJam7 on the 7th of February  ~Tick p.s. I've got something special planned. Lets just say you should clear more than a weekend!

So, I've been quite quiet lately, due to coursework and whatnot, but thankfully its the holidays now and i've had a little time to get back to doing personal projects. So, the first thing I decided to tackle was an official website for The Arbitrary Gamejam... As you might already know,  www.TheArbitraryGamejam.com   actually directs you to a page on this blog, this was only temporary. Eventually I want TAG to stand on its own. I've been working on the site for a couple days, so I thought i'd show it off a tiny bit. As you can see it's not finished (although, I am going for the minimalist look). The fonts are not final and the only button that is functional is the "Rules" button. Eventually the goal is to have all the important information on this one screen. The site has been built using Rails (and Bootstrap for style points), because I've been toying with the idea of using the site to accept all the game submissions. That way, I can create a ...

TAG5 is GO! With some of the best themes we've ever seen in my opinion! If you haven't joined up: [Visit Their Website to Check Out the Themes] When you're done, be sure to tweet with the   #TAGJam5 Hashtag to let us all know you're going for it! I'm seriously looking forward to seeing what people come up with for this jam, the themes are brilliant and from what I'v heard the host is some kind of magician. Eager. ~Tick
