Welcome to round 5 of Architect Join our community on the Architect Discord Server! What is Architect? Have you ever wanted to make a game but ran into a wall when there was just too much you wanted to add at once? Has scope-creep ever left you burnt out? Have you struggled to just get yourself to sit down and code? Well Architect can help. Architect isn't an ordinary game jam. Rather, it is a series of continuous, collaborative, unranked jams where you will build an entire game from the ground up. Starting on your first round and building it up over time. How Does it Work? On their first round, participants will create a basic game, it may even be as simple as just a rectangle that moves left and right on the ground. There is no need for art or gameplay yet. On the next round they will think of one thing to add to the game, for example let's say allowing the rectangle to jump. And they will just refine and polish that feature across the two weeks.
