QnA

What is a rhythm game?

A rhythm game is a game that includes some aspects of rhythm. There are two main ways to use rhythm in games.

Player Rhythm is testing the players rhythm skills, this includes games such as Osu, Stepmania, Clone Hero, A Dance of Fire and Ice, etc.

Environmental Rhythm is the environment reacting to a songs rhythmic beat, this includes games such as Project Arrythmia, Just Shapes And Beats, No Straight Roads, Geometry Dash, etc

Can I use premade assets, scripts, or ideas?

Yes! When it comes to assets you can use them as long as they follow these guidelines.

  1. The asset is general purpose. (Things like character controllers)
  2. You have the rights to use them.
  3. Write which assets were made before the jam in your description.
  4. Credit any assets you don't own in the description.

As for ideas, you are free to plan out your game before the jam starts.

Can I make a mod for a game (for example Friday Night Funkin)?

No, sorry! 

The main reason for that is that this is a game jam, not a mod jam. We want our participants to make the majority of an original game during the time that is given, not just a map, some art and music for an existing game. Also this might go into legal issues, because you can't really just upload a game that you're modding alongside your mod, and if you upload just the mod, people won't be able to play it easily. So we want to avoid that.

Can I submit my old game or start working on my game before the jam starts?

The majority of your game should be made during the jam, premade assets are an exception to this and can be made before the jam starts.

This is my first time making a rhythm game, where do I start?

You can start with these design lessons and tutorials to figure out what would make a fun rhythm game as well as how to implement it.

What if we need music?

You can go to our discord server in #team-up to find music artists to work with. Or you can use already existing music by Lightspeed6 or songs from Camellia DMCA-Free Music Playlist (just remember to mark that the songs belong to the artists and not mark them as "official" or "licensed", and not to use them in inappropriate games)

How much time do we have?

You have a week to create your game and submit it to the jam. After that there will be a rating period that will last another week.

Where can I ask more questions about the jam?

There are 2 main places. You can ask on this server, on #🍯current-jam, or you can go to the community tab on itch and ask there! There will be plenty of people willing to help! Lots of people are new to game jams here, and if you are one of them, there are lots of experiences jammers who can answer any doubts or questions related to participating in game jams in general!
