We are hosting a two day event, the first VTuber Game Dev Potluck! This event will take place on February 6, and February 13, in your own timezone. This event is designed with first time game creators in mind. If you have never made a game, or if you're an experienced veteran, this event is for everyone! You do not need to be a vtuber to participate. You are not required to participate on both days, but I hope you will! My hope is that this format will allow people from all disciplines to participate and collaborate to create some fun games in a way that is not too stressful. The spacing of the days will allow people to work within their own timezones. This event was designed for solo work, but you can team up on either day if you want. There is no sign up required for this event.
The theme for the event will be announced at 0:00 UTC +14 (AKA, when February 6th starts on planet earth) on my channel. On February 6th, everyone will make assets related to the theme. These assets can be anything. We want to have a HUGE VARIETY of things we can use and inspire us to make our games on day two. Here's a list of examples of types of assets you can create:
On this day everyone will create games using the shared pool of assets. You are NOT required to only use these assets, but I hope they will make up the main elements of your game. You are free to edit and remix the assets as you see fit for use in your game. At 0:00 UTC +14 (AKA, when February 13th starts on planet earth) the information on how to download everyone's assets will be right here.
FOR INEXPERIENCED GAME DEVELOPERS: A template project will be created for people who do not have experience coding. This template project will be made in an engine that uses visual coding, and it will already have all of the assets within it. My hope is that even people with no experience coding or making games will take this opportunity to practice and learn some new skills. The download link for that project will be at the top of the page at the start of Day 2.
