Beginners Circle Jam #3

angrysmile · 2020-08-18T15:01:04Z

Please follow these 7 standard rules for this jam series: HAVE FUN - The more you focus on winning and the less you focus on having fun... the more you miss out! If you have a great attitude and aren't under pressure, you might turn out the greatest game in history, but applying imaginary competitive stress is only hurting you! DONT! We are all starting out and having a blast doing so. You may use any engine (godot, unity, ect.) as long as it is playable on Windows. Ideally, a web build or html build for browser play so that MAC users and others can easily play off the itch.io page itself without downloading. I understand that we all don't have the specs to do an html build, so I will not hold it against those who cannot do so. All NSFW or adult themed games must have appropriate warnings on the title. Example: “(18+) Zombie Fun” or similar. If you choose to go this route, please keep it subtle. I will personally disqualify a game from winning prizes if more than one person claims it as "offensive" or if it’s clearly too excessive. Please keep in mind that as a beginner's circle we may have a younger community, which may prevent NSFW material in future jams if submissions for this game jam are excessively inappropriate. Any NSFW game will be removed if labeled offensive. This game jam will be solely judged by myself. This will prevent any double voting or unfair down votings. Jams with votes usually end with unfair results, so don’t fret! Uneven or unfair votes won't be a part of this community! You must make all assets and code yourself or by your team within the time frame of this jam. Any templates, plug-ins and/or pre-builds will not count in the originality department. This jam is intended to practice your critical thinking, creative and coding skills, not copy and paste. Any of these will apply to the Originality category. Music must be royalty / copyright free and properly credited. so its fine to use music and fonts You may not post any links when commenting and you may not post a comment for the sake of self-promotion. These comments will be deleted and this type of behavior will count negatively towards your Community Spirit score. There is a section in our community to post your links Once that countdown is done, you will not be able to edit your submissions any further. It is recommended that you upload your project at least 2 hours before the deadline. This is wiggle room to catch and fix last minute touches. There will be late tickets available on request if your game has game breaking bugs that need repair. This isnt just another place to reupload and show off any game demos, nor is it the place to show off or try to impress anyone. This is a game jam hosted for a community of people starting out. There are sections in the itch community.

Hello, this is my first Game Jam and I am very excited. Do we have to make our own animations or can they come from free sources as I have no experience making animations?

This question is more like for curiosity, but, if a person is fast enough, could he upload more than just one game?

LeoC3 years ago

i would suggest you to work on just one project because of quality

Is It Okay if we use/focalize Cultural/Country Stuff

For example: Filipino Music(Buwan - Juan Karlos Labajo OPM)

of course as the rules said they should be use according to their terms and the Jam's Term.

Hi, I was making a little lib to use with a bare bones engine. I mean I had to write a collision detection system and response, a spritesheet animation system, an abstraction for input and loading and using resources. Nothing realy hard but required several hours of testing and refactoring. Fynally I uploaded it on github as an open source.

For sure it is not a template or a plugin like those you can find over Unity, but I had to ask.

Can I use it?

Revdeluxe3 years ago

As long as You made the MOST part During The Jam's Duration...

or just simple follow steps. (Simply the hard way of copy and pasting, hahahhahaha)

This might be dumb but when I clicked on the theme it said the theme is Sticky, but there is a video and in there it says the theme is A different planet.

Which is the real theme?

LeoC3 years ago

The real theme is A different planet.

When you see that the topic is sticky that means it will appear on the top of the community tab

can you being in a computer count as a different world?

LeoC3 years ago(+1)

I think yes

Thavos3 years ago

Haya, just checking. Can I get to honorable mentions using pathfinding package in my game? I'm sure it's illegal for competition and ofc I'll try to code it myself if I'll have enough time 😊. I'm just curious.

Hey, sorry that it's really late, but I was wondering if things like a built-in gravity simulator (thing) counts as an asset. Can I use something like this?

StrikerSoft3 years ago

does copy and paste mean tutorials

LeoC3 years ago

You can follow tutorials but you need to understand what code does if you want to make games

Copy and paste means just taking the code and not understanding what it does

StrikerSoft3 years ago

LeoC3 years ago

AlbertDevelopment3 years ago

I got pretty far into my game, but I want to ask this: is it allowed to use Unity's official Scripting API (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/) for information? I'm still pretty new to Unity and I legitimately need it to understand what i'm doing. I haven't watched a "step by step" or a "download this project" type of tutorial, and I'm planning not to, i'm just asking to see if using the scripting API disqualifies me. Thanks!
