Just thinking when the new Generator Jam will be released and how people will react to the current buttons event that is still going on (as of this post).
Now, someone might visit the hub or the generators page (because of the card) and going to say, “where’s the neww jammm??!?!?” (but that’s my own speculations). But in reality, I actually don’t care if the new Generator Jam releases on the 1st day, or even on April 6th and so forth, because I believe there’s no need to rush in order to release something new, just keep in their own paces. (note to myself)
What do you all think? And what’s your current proposed theme for the new Jam?
The purpose of the Generator Jam (or Community Events) mostly serves as a ‘prompt’ or an ‘idea’ for the users/community to try and make something that is related to the theme/prompt.
I know it seems hard to think about what to do depending on the theme, but if you have an idea and want to do it but don’t know how, feel free to ask on the Collab Chat, which is why it is there, to ask for help or get opinion/feedback on your ideas. There is also the Learn Tab where you can ask for help and read some articles to learn more about the Syntaxes.
I also recommend that if you made something, post it/share it, do not be discouraged about how unfinished it is, how bad it is, or how silly it is. If you are looking to learn, then you need feedback and someone to point you in the right direction. Some people may give negative comments, but that as well is feedback.
It is also pretty hard to think up some themes/prompts for the Jams (or Events) so any feedback from the participants is highly appreciated. Again, without feedback, it wouldn’t get better XD.
You have a great explanation on the Generator Jam, and also some golden tips. I appreciate it 👍
Also, please let me know if there’s already a new Generator Jam in the Hub! 😁
The Gen Jam theme might be Arcade or just ‘Fun and Games’. I’ll probably update the hub designs by tomorrow.
I might also just remove the ‘Forms’ tab and make it an ‘Events’ tab. Then just place the ‘Forms’ that are needed in their respective tabs i.e. Gen Submissions for the Gens Tab is at the Gens Tab, then Gen Submissions for the Events are in the Events tab (as well as the feedback form).
The ‘Events’ tab will probably be an ‘iframe’ with a separate Hub page, so we can modularize the sheets (and anyone can add an event? maybe), I like the way you have the events, might be a similar one there (I could also probably create a poll there via Glitch if maybe needed for voting and such).
I’m just throwing ideas for the events in Hub, and how it is handled for the future ones.
i like Fun and Games because it’s more widely inclusive.
and the forms idea sounds more streamlined
Yeah, I also agree with that. And it’s becoming a Jam already.
And I decided to bring the statistics in the About page in my next Generator Manager update 🙂
i was looking at one of our fastest growing generators lastnight, OI Jokers, which seems to be building a nice community within it, and they do an event every week. I could see them posting their event if you open eventposting to the public comfortably enough. I probably would also do an event. and the image contest here is one. and i bet many Perchance creators of RP pages would jump on the idea of a dedicated place for their events to be known. sounds like a great idea now that you mention it, and one that helps build Perchance’s community interconnection up a step
