Welcome once again to another /mlp/ Game Jam! As you might remember (or not) we've had about three other Jams so far, making this the fourth! You're currently able to sign up for the jam, but you're expected to start working on your game when the actual jam starts.

NO SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED! ALL SUBMISSIONS WELCOME!

As you've seen in the current thread, the theme of this jam focuses mainly on the use of assets made and submitted by your fellow anons from the board, (Check the thread if you want to help with the asset pack submissions). Here, I'll specify on some of the guidelines to follow:

• What if I'm making a 3D game or the engine I'm using is incompatible with the assets?
  • Technically you can export 2D assets in a 3D game I'm pretty sure, but not many people are willing to do that I'd imagine... Well, as I've said in the thread, get creative! As long as you're at least inspired by what your fellow anons submitted and you follow the spirit of the thing, then you'll be golden!
• Will I have to use all of the assets submitted?
  • Nah, you don't have to use all of them, not even close! But you'll be expected to use a good handful of them. The exact number that I'll expect you to use will be determined once the game jam starts. (You don't have to be exact, I won't have an exact way of measuring it)
• What do you count as an used asset?
  • I'm not expecting you to use every single piece of every single asset that you choose to implement into your game, use it as you would a regular online asset. You can just use a piece of it and you'll be golden! Mix and match! Modify them! Use them as a template! Pitch correct them! I want you to get creative with it!
• Can I work with others to make my game?
  • Yes! Feel free to either work with a team or make your game solo.
• I really, REALLY don't want to use the assets provided, I just want to make a game
  • Well, I'm not the boss of you, if you REALLY   do not care about the theme and just want to upload something, I can't stop you. But I strongly suggest you reconsider! People tend to get real creative when limited in just the right ways! I'm sure you'll have fun trying to come up with something while trying to work with what your anonymous friends provided you with!

When we reach the asset submission deadline, (when the actual game jam starts) I'll lump together whatever assets were submitted in the thread and I'll provide an organized download link in a folder using something akin to mega/drive. This link will be posted both in here and the thread.

You can use any type of engine to make the game! Just make sure that it has ponies in it (very important). Quoting the last Jam: "For engines, Godot is free and Ren'Py is good for beginners. Some links" https://godotengine.org/ https://www.renpy.org/
