Time to Jam! Declare the screenshot you're basing your game on, your team roster, and team name (purely for keeping track of everyone) in this thread.
You can find most of the screenshots here. I believe that a few unscouted authors posted theirs in the art discussion thread.
There are no dibs being called on screenshots,any two teams can do the same screenshot. Declaring your screenshot here will just let everyone else know who is doing what. Obviously you probably wouldn't want to pick a certain screenshot if two other teams said they're doing that one.
This thread is also open for Game Jam discussion. Remember this is a community effort, so post yo progress!
These are looking awesome so far.

Looking for a team for the Newgrounds Game Jam 9? You can look for partners here.
Make sure you include some sort of contact info and what skill sets you want to bring into a team (animation, programming, art, writing, voice acting, music, sound effects).
GAME JAM 9 Screenshot Art Thread.
This thread is for discussion, posting WIPs, posting finished pieces.
For me, learning the art of the gesture made a huge improvement in my work. Also, this is a neat website I got from my friend for quick figure drawing (doesn't beat the challenge from life, but it's still great practice.)
This is pretty cool, I'm going to try to do something for it.

Sure, post whatever you want.

If you didn't manage to finish your games on time for the Game Jam 7, upload them to the dump and post them here for us to look at and play.
All these games look really good! This might be the best Game Jam yet.
Post your finished games for the Game Jam 7 here!
Please post them in the following format:
Your Team Name
Your team's core mechanic
The link to your submission.
Also, don't forget to tag your game with "nggamejam7" and place a link to the Game Jam 7 collection in your game. You should also include your core mechanic diagram somewhere in your game, it'll be fun for us to see what you're line of thinking was.
Thanks and good luck! Even if you finish late, go ahead and tag your game and post it here so we can play them.
Out come the demons ooOooo!
We're doing pretty good, we picked "map."

Those other layers are influenced directly by the core mechanic. Basically, just make a game based on that core mechanic and see what fun stuff you can turn the other layers into. It's like a design exercise.

Dang.
Yeah, you guys can change your name once you get your teams together. We just used the current names to assign the mechanics.
NEWGROUNDS GAME JAM 7
Once every few months, or so, the planets become aligned, and cosmic heroes of many talents travel across the world to do battle in the field of mighty game development.
Come on, can you feel it? The Spirit of the Newgrounds Game Jam 7 is here!
RELEASE THE THEME
The Theme: Designing Around a Core Mechanic.
+ Each team will be given two core mechanics (pick one). These are the platform for your game, and without them your game should be unplayable.
+ Teams must design their games around this core mechanic using the diagram attached below. (Make a diagram similar to that one and place it somewhere in your game, like in the preloader or on the menu.)
+ The secondary mechanic layer is what you use your core mechanic to accomplish.If your core mechanic is drive, you might make your secondary mechanic to race.
+ The progression layer is the source of change brought on by the mechanics. It is how the game creates a beginning, middle and end.
+ Finally the outer narrative layer puts all the inner layers into context. It develops the story and fleshes out characters and motives.
If you're confused here are examples of Mario and Portal illustrated with the core mechanic diagram.

+ This thread will be open for updates and discussion.
+ If you didn't end up with a musician on your team, you can always look to the audio portal!
+ Game Jam Post-Mortem "What went wrong?/What went right?"
+ There is absolutely no reason why you should keep your progress a secret! Post screenshots, post your source code, post your team logo. The Game Jam is a community effort!

+ Keep an eye out for a submission thread on Sunday. Try to include a link to the Game Jam 7 collection in your game somewhere.
Good luck everyone!

Watch out, badass coming through.
Few people make it anywhere as an "idea guy." If you're really serious about making this game, go check out a book on AS3 and do your best. When you're developing games you're going to have to learn to wear many hats, so to speak.
From my experience, it's always nice to have an extra artist around to help out with background art, menu art, additional polish, etc. Worst case scenario is you have an extra hand that does minimal artwork.

It was just an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people, so when we needed them, they could jam the games out like we never could...

New thread for second picks. Let's make sure everyone has a team!
This should be the updated list of all the people who haven't been picked yet! Remember, your additional picks still allow you 1 artist, 1 musician, and 1 wildcard (although there is only one now).
