The 32BitJam community is a group of developers, composers, and artists that have a common love for games inspired by late 90s aesthetics. This jam is for any project that looks like it belongs in the PS1 era. It's the perfect opportunity for developers and artists interested in 3D to have their first stab at it, as simple 3D visuals are part of the aesthetic. Full 3D, 3D mixed with 2D, Full 2D submissions are ALL allowed, as long as they feel like they belong in the same graphical era.
Join our Discord Server to team up, or just to chat and share your work!
SECRET QUALIFIERS
This jam's optional theme is: "Summer Dreams" - Feel free to use it - or not! It won't be a voting category. Instead, this jam will have a SECRET QUALIFIER. A qualifier will be something like a requirement or a feature your game will need to implement.
UPDATE the jam has started! The qualifiers are...
Your game must offer a 4:3 display ratio by default. You may let users change it. You may use a frame, as long as it is not interactive or impact gameplay.
...and...
When your game first loads, display a 32BitJam logo. The logo can be a static 2D image or a fully 3D animation sequence. A 3D model of the logo and some image options can be found in the #32BitAssets channel on our discord. You can use a pre-made one or make your own.
