RE:Start! The 2022 PSP Game Jam

Приблизительно через 19 часов стартует джем по разработки хоумбрю игр для любимой в народе портативной консоли Sony PlayStation Portable. Мероприятие продлится до 21 октября.

Тема сформулирована так: It’s not a glitch, it’s a feature!

По условиям джема, игра должна воспроизводится на настоящей PSP. То бишь, если игра запускается на эмуляторе, но не на самом железе, то она будет дисквалифицирована. Правила не запрещают делать игру кросс-платформенным релизом. Для создания игры разрешаются использовать любые подходящие инструменты, включая движки и конструкторы с визуальным скриптингом.

Представленные проекты будут оцениваться по следующим критериям:

• Соответствие теме
• Креативность
• Визуальные и эстетические качества
• Саундтрек
• Понятность для игрока
• Увлекательность

Присоединиться к джему можно через страницу на itch:

Также у сообщества homebrew-разработки под PSP есть свой discord-сервер:

Также стоит заметить, что если участник джема ведет разработку своих решений по коду, то поощряется выкладывание таких проектов на GitHub, GitLab и прочие репозитории open source разработки.
