All timezones jammin, no more secrets!

All the timezones on global game jam are now up and running, so it is safe to release the theme and constraints to the rest of the world.

Finnish game jammers have known these already for past 10 hours:

Theme: Deception

GMT +2 constraints:

Wire, Fire, or a Lyre

There are also list of ten achievements that are optional for the teams:

Instant Online Gratification Game requires no file downloads (browser objects are OK), and has been verified to work on IE8, FF3, Latest Safari and Latest Chrome

Singing the Body Electric A game that uses only sound effects produced by the body, stomach gurgles, vocalizations, clapping, etc

The Hack Integrating external gadgets not normally associated with games (e.g. radio, electronic weights, lamps, toasters, barbells, staplers, etc.) as part of the game. This achievement requires that you upload a video of your game to YouTube and link it to the upload (you still have to hand in your game), as well as describing the construction in detail

Take Five Game can be played to completion in less than 5 minutes

Lo-text Game has an interactive tutorial

Over Achiever Implemented the main constraint with 3 or more different game mechanics

Community Game behaviour is depended on how many people are playing it simultaneously at the same time

Alternate Control Game runs on a pc (Win/Mac/Linux) and is controlled with (a) device(s) other than mouse, keyboard or console controller

Universal Language Game

EGA Lives Game uses a maximum of 16 different colors in all, including light and shading

Hmm…
