There has been talk here about things like quality in fangames, how it is a lot more involved than in 2003. More standards, more quality.. This means fangames don't get made that often. Nobody makes games like Marioquest now, and only good games game filtered onto the site. So what do you do? Well I had an idea... recently I realized... we need to have a Mario Game Jam. What is that you ask? It's a game making event. The goal of the game jam is to... make the game. Nothing too involved, cause you have a certain timeframe. This would be a really good thing for MFGG. Games would be made, you can make them however you want, no giant project that takes months, just games! There could even be voting categories for the games. Maybe a badge for entering. These things have certain timeframes, like a month or a couple of weeks maybe. But this can be chosen. Everyone can just make things, and they can be put in a zip or rar.
Do you have any thoughts? I really think this would be a great thing for MFGG to do. If we do this, should we decide on a theme? And how long would this take? Is a month sufficient?
