Hi everyone,

I am delighted to share with you our Discord App Pitches 2024 submission built with Phaser! After four weeks of grinding, we have created “We Jam”.

“We Jam” is a cooperative music-making card game designed for 1-5 players. Each player takes on the role of a band member. The newly formed band's objective is to collaboratively jam and create a live-performance that aligns with a game-provided challenge. To achieve that, players choose to play cards based on their selected instrument and band-wide card deck, establishing their role in the band.

Even though we are far away from finishing the prototype for a Discord Activity release, I would love to share our current state with you. Attached you find two screenshots and auto-generated recordings within the Discord Activity (sent via DM as webm file in Discord) from previous versions.

Just added some new gameplay mechanics:

  • re-draw during "planning" phase to re-draw a hand one time
  • added multi-instrument select, playing alone or as two was boring and the results "meh" - now the band leader can select how many instruments one can play randomly; besides the primary instrument

Sample results gig ("performing" phase) with two players and 3 instruments per player.

Heh, thanks you two 🙂 hopefully, I can clarify some "????"
this card-based, music making game allows 1-5 players to compose a song in a collaborative fashion .. each player takes the role of a band member and plays one (or more) of their cards they receive per segment (a segment can be intro, chorus or bridge). When the all rounds of segments have been played, the game progresses to a "performance phase" where the song (composed by the played cards), is played out loud. It is more of a "let's create something together" kind of activity rather than a competitive multiplayer, it is currently in development exclusively for discord's app directory for activities.
