[Event] Global Game Jam 2014 - Games
Hi guys,
I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone involved, it was a really great experience and definitely worth the time!
So i thought I'd create the thread for everyone to share their games, following the GGJ theme:
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are"
EDIT: @Fengol has a decent list in the reply to this post. See below for games!

- Architorture - A game of minion mayhem. You try to build what you think the Master desires in your minions image. The minions were tasked to build the master an evil lair with torture devices. Unfortunately for the master, the minions were left in charge of drawing up the blueprints, as well as building them. The minions have an odd sense of what is evil, they also may be a little confused about their instructions, they seem to think the master would like what they like.

Redshift - Relativity messes with pretty much everything in space, especially high-speed territorial conflict. Networked strategic space sim combat thing. Building the simulation proved technically challenging, so the graphics being built for the game went ahead and became a game of their own, given the lack of gameplay in this Redshift. Hence the other Redshift ;)
-

Jammers capture wild Jammers over Wifi and fight friend's Jammers over Bluetooth. Jammers gain and lose data packets by fighting or capturing other Jammers.

- Colour Cult Clash: A Party Game - Colour Cult Clash is a quick to learn party game designed to break the ice and accelerate conversation by bamboozling your friends , family and strangers, into a cult (,HILARIOUS!).

Without know who is in which cult, players must try converting whoever they can to their cult by making them preform a specific action or "mindtricking" them, through conversation. Every player has their own mindtrick and they can range from high-5s to talking about a grandparent. There is no limit to the amount of times a player can be converted to and from a cult. But players can only convert others into their current cult. Collect signatures to rack up points. For more details see "full" rules bellow. Note: Image bellow is a flyer which can be handed out at parties to initiate a game of "Colour Cult Clash". Thank you so much for you time. See you next year!
